There is something for every kind of TV fan in March 2026’s most-streamed TV shows, whether you like gritty medical dramas, long-awaited sequels, or vibrant adaptations, your new favorite show is below. Here are ten most popular shows in March, according to Just Watch.
The Madison
It’s no surprise The Madison is the most-streamed series in the nation; Yellowstone creator Tyler Sheridan has a knack for making crowd-pleasing TV. Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star in this Yellowstone spinoff, a neo-Western family drama about grief and redemption. After the family patriarch and his brother die in a plane crash, the extended Clyburn clan relocates from New York City to the Madison River valley of southwest Montana, hoping to find grace and healing in nature. Stream The Madison on Paramount+.
Paradise
The “Paradise” of the show’s title is a high-end, experimental community for the rich and connected that is hidden within an underground Colorado bunker. The surface of the planet may be an irradiated hellscape, but in Paradise, everything seems perfect, until an outsider enters. Sterling K. Brown plays a Xavier Collins, a secret service agent investigating the murder of the U.S. president in Paradise. Stream Paradise on Hulu.
The Pitt
HBO’s gritty, hyper-realistic medical drama has earned acclaim from critics and audiences for its well-drawn characters and relentless pace. It follows a single 15-hour shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. Starring Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael Robinavitch, The Pitt ditches the “disease of the week” format of many medical shows in favor of a study of the toll the modern medical system places on everyone involved. Season one earned five Emmy awards, and judging from the first few episodes, season two might win more. Stream The Pitt on HBO Max.
Scarpetta
Based on the best-selling novels by Patricia Cornwell, Scarpetta stars Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Virginia’s chief medical examiner, who uses cutting edge technology to solve cases. Scarpetta is a moody thriller that uses realism instead of sensationalism to examine the science, law, and the psychological weight of seeking justice. Bonus: The supporting cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Cannavale. Stream Scarpetta on Amazon Prime.
DTF St. Louis
In execution, DTF St. Louis is even more offbeat than its premise—a murder mystery linked to a hookup app for married people seeking action on the side. Jason Bateman plays Missouri TV weatherman Clark Forrest, who is accused of murdering Floyd Smernitch (David Harbour), his friend, on-air sign language interpreter, and the husband of Carol (Linda Cardellini), the woman Clark is having an affair with. Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins and Wednesday‘s Joy Sunday play the detectives on the case. It all sounds like material for a salacious thriller, but writer/director Steven Conrad (Prime Video’s weird, wonderful Patriot) has something more complex in mind: sadder, funnier, and definitely weirder. Stream DTF St. Louis on HBO Max.
Shrinking
January saw the premiere of the third season of Apple TV+’s Shrinking, a comedy/drama created by Jason Segel, Bill Lawrence, and Brett Goldstein, the team behind Ted Lasso and Scrubs. This comedy/drama series follows Jimmy Laird (Segel), a grief-stricken therapist who breaks all professional and ethical boundaries by telling his patients exactly what he thinks, while Harrison Ford, Laird’s mentor, does damage control. Shrinking has been nominated for nine Primetime Emmies, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, but has yet to take a statue home. Unfair! Stream Shrinking on Apple TV+.
What do you think so far?
One Piece
One Piece seems to have broken the curse of live-action anime, with both fans and critics praising the show for its evocative world-building and perfect casting. Season 2 of Netflix’s series finds the Straw Hat Crew on the high seas navigating the treacherous Grand Line in search of a legendary treasure. Iñaki Godoy stars as the aspiring Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy and Mackenyu plays Roronoa Zoro. Backing them up is a huge ensemble cast that includes heavy hitters like Joe Manganiello as the villainous Sir Crocodile and Katey Sagal as the brilliant Dr. Kureha. Stream One Piece on Netflix.
Young Sherlock
People never get tired of Sherlock Holmes. Amazon Prime’s high-energy reimagining of the world’s most famous detective follows 19-year-old Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) as he uncovers a global conspiracy while investigating a murder at Oxford University. Directed by the great Guy Ritchie, Young Sherlock ditches the “case of the week” formula in favor of a single story that’s big and bold enough for a whole season of TV. Stream Young Sherlock on Prime Video.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
This is not your grandfather’s kaiju. Apple TV+’s multigenerational sci-fi epic follows two siblings as they uncover their family’s connection to Monarch, the shadowy organization that monitors Godzilla and his fellow Titans. Starring the father-son duo of Kurt and Wyatt Russell as army officer Lee Shaw across two different timelines, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters examines human resilience in the face of mass tragedy in a deeper way than you’d ever expect from a show about giant monsters. Stream Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+.
Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette
Ryan Murphy’s latest production takes place at the intersection of fame and tragedy. It delves into the lives of John Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon. Then the most famous couple in the world, Kennedy and Bessette try to hold their relationship together in the face of a ravenous press and the political expectations that come with being a Kennedy. Stream Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette on Hulu.
