10th March
Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)
Fans of Luther, the dark detective series that ran from 2010 to 2019, will be looking forward to this movie which takes place after the events of series 5. Idris Elba returns to the role of DCI John Luther and he is joined in the cast by Andy Serkis who takes on the role of a sadistic serial killer who is terrorising London. The budget has been upped considerably for this latest outing for Elba’s troubled detective character but according to some critics, the movie pales in quality when compared to the brilliant TV show.

He eventually tracks down the magician but when the trickster’s elephant is taken into custody by the Royal Court, Peter has to complete three seemingly impossible tasks in exchange for the animal.
Agent Elvis: Season 1
Fans of Elvis will be ‘all shook up’ about this new animated comedy as it tells the untold story of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and his secondary job as a jetpack-wearing superspy for the American government. Matthew McConaughey voices the legendary pop icon in this series that was co-created by the late singer’s wife, Priscilla Presley.
22nd March
Waco: American Apocalypse (Limited Series)
In 1993, cult leader David Koresh faced off against the federal government in a 51-day siege that ended tragically when his religious compound was destroyed in a fire.

23rd March
The Night Agent: Season 1
Gabriel Basso stars as low-level FBI Agent Peter Sutherland who has a rather uneventful job manning a phone that never rings in the basement of the White House. But when a call does come through, Peter is thrust headlong into a dangerous conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office. Based on the bestselling novel by Matthew Quirk, this new action-thriller might just fill the gap in your life while you’re waiting for the next Jack Ryan or Jack Reacher series.
29th March
Wellmania: Season 1
Australian comedian and actress Celeste Barber stars in this new comedy drama series about a woman who throws herself into a wellness journey after she is forced to rethink her life following a major health crisis.

30th March

Bok Soon is one of the world’s deadliest assassins but when she’s not hunting down her targets, she’s a single mother at home raising her teenage daughter. According to the synopsis of this South Korean action movie, killing is easy but it’s parenting that’s the hard part for this lethal contract killer.
Murder Mystery 2 (2023)
The first Murder Mystery was one of the better films Adam Sandler made for the streaming service so here’s hoping this sequel, which sees him reteam with Jennifer Aniston, has more in common with that comedy than it does with the likes of The Ridiculous 6 and The Do-Over, which were absolutely awful! This time around, detective couple Audrey and Nick get involved in international intrigue when their friend the Maharajah is kidnapped at his own wedding.
Unstable: Season 1
Following the release of Dog Gone, a recent family movie that debuted on Netflix, Rob Lowe returns to the streaming service for this comedy series about a socially challenged young man who goes to work for his wildly eccentric father at a biotech research company.
