Building on early March releases like Paramount+'s Marshals (March 1) and Starz's Outlander S8 (March 6)—covered in our previous article—highlights this week include:
Netflix's One Piece S2 (premiering this week): The live-action adaptation returns, following Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates (aboard the Going Merry) deeper into the Grand Line. Season 1 earned praise for fidelity to Eiichiro Oda's manga/anime; expect more iconic characters and adventures.
HBO's Rooster (March 8): Steve Carell stars as an author lecturing at his daughter's college to mend their bond. From Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Ted Lasso, Shrinking), it blends humor and heart. Full cast and details in our March overview.
Netflix's Virgin River S7 (March 12): Post-wedding, Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan navigate adoption of a former patient's baby amid small-town changes. Renewed for an eighth season, Netflix's longest-running scripted original.
Paramount+'s The Madison (March 14): A Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone spinoff with Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell as a New York couple relocating to Montana's Madison River valley after tragedy, exploring modern western themes and grief.
