March is here already (yep, we can’t believe it either), and with it comes a load of new movie additions to streaming. Thankfully, Digital Spy is on hand to sift through the numerous new flicks to pick five of the best new releases on Netflix and Prime Video.
Among this month’s highlights are the anticipated new Peaky Blinders movie, as well as a real-life story that just won a host of BAFTAs.
Check out the list below.
War Machine
Reacher’s Alan Ritchson stars in this new sci-fi, which takes place in the “final stage of US Army Ranger selection” as “an elite team’s training exercise turns into a fight for survival against an unimaginable threat”.
Netflix
Directed and co-written by The Hitman’s Bodyguard’s Patrick Hughes, War Machine also features The Substance’s Dennis Quaid, The Piano Lesson’s Stephan James, The Suicide Squad’s Jai Courtney and Titans’ Esai Morales.
Ritchson previously suggested that the project is “gonna be the biggest movie that Netflix has ever had”, adding to Wired: “This movie is gonna be a monster. This is the coolest thing they’ve ever made, guaranteed.” Watch this space.
Streaming on Netflix from 6 March.
StudioCanal
I Swear
This 2025 biopic won three BAFTAs last weekend, including a shock Best Actor win for lead star Robert Aramayo, and will likely reach an even wider audience when it hits Netflix this month.
I Swear tells the story of Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson, focusing on his struggles with the condition that causes involuntary sounds or movements, known as tics, and his campaigning for better awareness.
Earning a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie was called “astonishing” by The Times. Say Nothing’s Maxine Peake, Bridget Jones’ Shirley Henderson and The Rings of Power’s Peter Mullan co-star.
Streaming on Netflix from 10 March.
Netflix
Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere
Louis Theroux’s new feature will see the documentarian tackle the manosphere with “rare access and no holds barred”, as he looks into “a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influencers”.
As well as meeting prominent figures within the movement and examining popular terms, Inside the Manosphere will also examine “the appeal of these ideas and attitudes, as well as the perspectives of the women in their lives who appear to support them”.
Theroux filmed the doc before the release of Netflix’s Adolescence last year, which explored similar themes as a boy is accused of the murder of a female classmate, with the filmmaker saying the subject matter is in the “precinct of what the boy in Adolescence might have been watching” (via Deadline).
Streaming on Netflix from 11 March.
Netflix
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
Tommy Shelby is back in the long-awaited Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man, which moves events forward to World War II as the character returns to Birmingham from self-imposed exile.
The likes of Stephen Graham and Sophie Rundle are back in the fold, while new cast additions joining the franchise include Dune’s Rebecca Ferguson, Pulp Fiction’s Tim Roth and Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan.
Creator Steven Knight has called the film “fantastic” – so we’re expecting great things when it hits Netflix later this month after a limited cinema release.
Streaming on Netflix from 20 March.
Prime Video
Pretty Lethal
This new action thriller focuses on a ballet troupe whose bus breaks down on a way to a prestigious competition, as they take refuge at an inn run by a reclusive former ballet prodigy (played by Uma Thurman).
However, “from the moment they arrive, something feels wrong” as “their worst instincts prove right” and the situation turns “deadly”. “The fractured team must set aside rivalries and weaponise years of brutal training, turning grace, discipline and even pointe shoes into tools for survival,” the synopsis adds.
This new Prime Video movie also stars To All the Boys’ Lana Condor, A Quiet Place’s Millicent Simmonds, The Bubble’s Iris Apatow and My Old Ass’ Maddie Ziegler.
Streaming on Prime Video from 25 March.
