1
‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’
Available March 26
In an era when audiences often know every major plot twist before pressing play, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen feels like a refreshing anomaly. Details about the series remain largely under wraps, but even a brief look at the trailer is enough to send a chill down any horror fan’s spine. It teases that delicious mix of atmospheric dread and creeping unease that suggests something sinister is quietly waiting in the shadows.
The story unfolds over the week leading up to the wedding of Rachel (Camila Morrone) and Nicky (Adam DiMarco), before events inevitably take a dark turn, as the title ominously promises. Beyond that, much of the plot is being kept a mystery. What we do know is that the series, created by Haley Z. Boston and produced by the Duffer Brothers, draws inspiration from classics like Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby. If you’re ready to peel back the curtain and see what’s really going on before the vows are exchanged, this is one mystery you’ll want to experience for yourself.
2
‘Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole’
Available March 26
Created by Jo Nesbø, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest voices in modern crime fiction, this gripping series delivers a tense whodunit centered on antihero Harry Hole (Tobias Santelmann), a brilliant yet tormented homicide detective. But beneath this serial killer mystery lies a character-driven drama about two officers standing on opposite sides of the law, as Harry finds himself locked in a dangerous game with his longtime adversary, the corrupt Detective Tom Waaler (Joel Kinnaman). As a ruthless killer terrorizes the city, Harry must navigate blurred ethical boundaries within the justice system while trying to expose Waaler’s corruption. The deeper he digs, the more personal and perilous the stakes become.
Jo Nesbø serves as creator and showrunner, with Øystein Karlsen directing and executive producing. The series also stars Pia Tjelta, Anders Danielsen Lie, Ane Dahl Torp, and singer Dagny. If you’re craving a dark, character-driven mystery packed with moral complexity, this is one case worth investigating.
3
‘Blue Therapy’
Available March 4
Reality TV isn’t for everyone, but this series offers something far more intimate than your typical unscripted drama. Blue Therapy leans into raw honesty, placing real relationships under the microscope in a way that feels deeply human rather than sensationalized. In the series, seven couples step outside their comfort zones and onto the therapist’s couch, confronting the cracks in their relationships head-on. Guided through difficult conversations, unresolved conflicts, and long-standing emotional wounds, they attempt to untangle the issues that have brought them to this breaking point.
Instead of explosive twists or manufactured chaos, Blue Therapy focuses on vulnerability, accountability, and the uncomfortable work of communication. The result is a reality show that feels less about spectacle and more about growth.
4
‘Boyfriend on Demand’
Available March 6
Netflix is bringing a vibrant new rom-com K-drama to your screen to keep those Valentine’s vibes alive. Boyfriend on Demand stars K-pop idol Jisoo as Mi-rae, an overworked webtoon producer who’s completely drained by her daily routine. Her life is painfully relatable: between demanding work deadlines and personal obligations, she’s left with barely three hours a day to herself, which is hardly enough time to think about romance, let alone pursue it. That’s where the titular service comes in. Boyfriend on Demand offers Mi-rae an escape through a subscription-based virtual dating simulation, allowing her to experience perfectly curated romantic scenarios tailored to her exact preferences. Designed to match each user’s ideal type, the program creates dream dates.
With ongoing conversations about AI companions and digital intimacy dominating social media, this K-drama feels especially timely. Through Mi-rae’s journey, the series invites viewers to question what genuine love and connection truly mean. When faced with the choice between a flawless fantasy and a complicated, imperfect reality, which one will she choose?
5
‘Vladimir’
Available March 5
Vladimir stars Rachel Weisz as a middle-aged literature professor whose already complicated life spins out of control when she develops an all-consuming crush on her much younger colleague, played by Leo Woodall. What starts as a private fascination slowly grows into something far more destabilizing. Created by Julia May Jonas and adapted from her 2022 novel of the same name, the eight-episode series explores desire, ego, power dynamics, and the treacherous terrain of campus politics. As the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur in her mind, her professional reputation and her marriage to John Slattery‘s character start to fracture in ways that are at once darkly comic, painfully awkward, and deeply human. The show doesn’t shy away from discomfort, instead leaning into the messy contradictions of longing and self-delusion.
Told through her unreliable, self-aware perspective, where Weisz’s character often looks directly at the camera Fleabag-style, Vladimir flips the traditional obsession narrative on its head. Rather than presenting a straightforward cautionary tale, it invites viewers inside the mind of a woman wrestling with aging, relevance, and the intoxicating thrill of feeling desired no matter the cost.
6
‘BEASTARS’ Season 3, Part 2
Available March 7
And for the anime fans, BEASTARS is approaching its long-awaited conclusion. As the final chapter unfolds, the already delicate balance between carnivores and herbivores teeters on the edge of collapse. After the carnivorous killer at Cherryton Academy is exposed, the administration enforces a segregation policy designed to safeguard herbivores, but this decision only intensifies suspicion and resentment toward carnivores. At the same time, the underground meat trade is booming, and the Shishi-gumi, a powerful lion gang, is struggling to regain stability following the death of its boss. Sensing opportunity in the chaos, a ruthless new player emerges.
Now living outside the school environment, Legoshi tries to keep his head down, dedicating himself to protecting those in need. Yet his past refuses to stay buried, and his role in the murder case captures the attention of the reigning Beastar. Determined to protect his relationship with Haru, Legoshi holds tightly to his moral compass, even as societal tensions threaten to erupt. Since debuting in October 2019, BEASTARS has captivated viewers with its layered take on instinct, prejudice, and self-discovery, making its ending all the more important.
7
‘Virgin River’ Season 7
Available March 12
Love is still in the air in Virgin River, but Season 7 is bringing some major shake-ups to town. After Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) finally tied the knot in the Season 6 finale, viewers will now see the newlyweds step into a new chapter of their lives, embracing married life and settling into their honeymoon phase on the farm.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Virgin River without a little drama. This season introduces several new faces, including Sara Canning as Victoria, a former police officer turned medical board investigator who begins scrutinizing Doc’s practice, and Cody Kearsley as Clay, a rugged rodeo rider on a personal mission to find the sister he lost in foster care. At the same time, the series is set to continue to dig deeper into the relationships fans have grown to love, exploring how the different kinds of bonds people can share in different stages of their lives and relationships. If you’re still in the mood for romance after Valentine’s Day with just the right touch of small-town tension, this heartfelt drama might be the perfect binge for you.
