We’re going back to Birmingham this March on Netflix with the arrival of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. That film, a follow-up to the six-season series, is one of several big titles dropping on Netflix this month. But if you’re not compelled to watch Cillian Murphy reprise his role as that razor-sharp Tommy Shelby, there are lots of other options out there for you.
March 6 marks the premiere of War Machine, a sci-fi action thriller starring Alan Ritchson and Dennis Quaid, and British documentarian Louis Theroux is back with a new feature-length doc, Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere. The doc follows Theroux as he goes deep inside the toxic world of men’s rights influencers. On top of these great original titles, you can also check out new additions to its movie library like the Saw series, Jurassic World: Dominion, the Oscar-winning Anatomy of a Fall and Minions: The Rise of Gru.
These films and more are new to Netflix this March. Here’s a look at the things we can’t wait to watch.
Alan Ritchson was born to play burly, brave and brawny warriors. The Jack Reacher star’s latest project, War Machine, stars Ritchson as a U.S. Army Ranger fighting off an unimaginable, other-worldly threat that’s hunting down every member of his squad. Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Blake Richardson, Keiynan Lonsdale and Daniel Webber all co-star in this action-packed thriller that arrives on March 6.
Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere (March 11)
Louis Theroux has spent his entire career in journalism analyzing niche subcultures, criminals and celebrities. In his latest documentary, Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere, he tackles one of the men’s rights influencers, a.k.a. the “Manosphere.” In the feature-length special, Theroux meets with several prominent online figures whose views on masculinity and gender roles are gaining attention among young men and some women. The film arrives on March 11.
Shenba (Priyanka Mohan) is a young Indian woman whose childhood fascination with Korean culture inspires her to experience it firsthand.

In Nobody 2, Bob Odenkirk reprises his role as assassin Hutch Mansell, a guy who’s just trying to live a normal life but gets pulled back into the world of murder-for-hire to pay off a debt. The highly stylized action and fighting are inspired by John Wick, for good reason: The film was written by Wick scribe Derek Kolstad. Connie Nielsen, RZA and Christopher Lloyd all return for the sequel, too, and Sharon Stone, John Ortiz and Colin Hanks have joined the cast.
The first Saw film premiered in 2004, and in the years since, it’s become a global phenomenon and a franchise of 10 films, nine of which will all be available on Netflix as of March 19. (All but the spin-off film Spiral: From the Book of Saw will be coming to the platform.) If you’re looking for a gory horror binge, you can spend the rest of the month with that creepy killer, Jigsaw.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (March 20)
Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The film picks up a few years after the end of the sixth season of the Peaky Blinders series, in 1940, smack in the middle of World War II. After a self-imposed exile, Tommy Shelby returns to Birmingham and, as you can expect, the past and his family drama have come back to haunt him. The film was directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, and features a stellar cast with Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth and Stephen Graham.

The film is out on March 20.
Anatomy of a Fall (March 23)
The 2023 film Anatomy of a Fall received the 2023 Oscar for best original screenplay and was nominated for four other Academy Awards. The gripping legal drama follows a French novelist, Sandra Voyter (Sandra Hüller), as a woman whose husband plunges to his death from an upstairs window of their home in the Alps. Was the fall accidental? Did Sandra push him? Or did he kill himself? The mystery and ambiguity of it all will keep you guessing and forming your own opinions, and you’ll never hear 50 Cent quite the same way again.
