Series continue to air in March. Streaming services will have new seasons of already beloved shows (for example, the second season of “Downloads”). There are also several series at once based on the Star Trek universe (the main Picard and the parody Orville). However, there will be a lot of new things, including a new series from Marvel, a video game adaptation of Halo, an animated spin-off of The Boys, as well as a new project by Taika Waititi, where he will try on the image of Blackbeard. About these and other innovations later in the article.

Dropout is a biographical series that will tell the story of Elizabeth Holmes. Since childhood, the girl dreamed of becoming a doctor, but the sight of blood terrified her. In 2002, Holmes successfully entered Stanford University, but a year later she decided to drop out. With the permission of her parents, she used the money they saved up for training as the start-up capital of the Theranos company she founded. It promised to revolutionize the healthcare industry by launching a compact blood analyzer that could quickly perform complex tests on a single drop of blood from a patient’s finger. Such ambitious claims have led to huge investments in Theranos. Elizabeth Holmes has become the richest self-made woman in the United States, according to Forbes.

“Didn’t Work” (WeCrashed)
- Platform: Apple TV+.
- Release date: March 18th.
The script for Apple TV+’s new series, It Didn’t Work, is inspired by Wondery Network’s WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork podcast, which chronicles the successes and failures of the WeWork co-working service. In 2010, Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey founded a flexible workspace company. In a short period of time, it turns from a small startup into a giant corporation worth $47 billion. However, during the attempt to go public and become a public company, the company was found to have many problems. It turned out that in fact WeWork has only been making losses over the past few years, and Neumann’s management is leading the company nowhere. He’s just wasting investors’ money. The series also explores Adam’s relationship with his wife during the fall of his corporation. Leading roles in the project are played by brilliant actors: Jared Leto, Anne Hathaway and others.
Halo
- Platform: Paramount+.
- Release date: March 24th.
Paramount+ is preparing one of its biggest premieres in March, the sci-fi action Halo series based on the video game series of the same name. In the 26th century, humans in the United Nations Space Command fight against a religious alliance of several alien races, the Covenant. To defeat the enemy, humanity has to resort to the creation of genetically modified fighters – the Spartans. However, the aliens learn about the plan of people and destroy the planet on which this experiment was conducted. The only surviving Spartan is John-117. In addition, he manages to find a powerful artifact that can turn the tide of the war. And while viewers will be able to see their favorite characters on screen, including Master Chief, Cortana and others, the creators of the TV adaptation said that the plot will not be directly related to the games. Whether this will mean a departure from the canon or an addition to the existing story is not very clear.
Moon Knight
- Platform: Disney+.
- Release date: March 30th.
Darker and darker stories will soon begin appearing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was in the series that the studio finally began to experiment more with genres (a parody of old sitcoms in Wanda Vision) and themes (acute social issues in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), which is gradually moving to films. Already at the beginning of 2022, Marvel promises a film with horror elements (Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness), and in the fifth phase, Blade and Deadpool are waiting for the audience. “Moon Knight” is part of this very side of the MCU – dark and bloody. A key feature of the project will be the personality disorder of the protagonist Mark Spector (Moon Knight), who, by the way, will be played by Oscar Isaac. Warms up interest in the series and the participation of Ethan Howak as the main villain. After his debut in the series, Moon Knight will have to appear in some kind of film, as stated by Kevin Feige himself, head of Marvel Studios.
