Netflix has just released its slate of premiere series and new available shows for March, and it’s looking like another stellar month for the streaming service. Frank and Claire are back, and at war in House of Cards, while Daredevil is back out and about causing all sorts of after-hours mayhem. Let the binge begin!
House of Cards: Season 4 — premieres March 4
Has Claire really abandoned Frank? That’s the question viewers will want answered when they tune in once again to marvel at the Machiavellian maneuvers of President Underwood in House of Cards’ fourth season. Early word has it that Ellen Burstyn, as Claire’s (Robyn Wright) mom steals the first episode, and four-time Scream survivor Neve Campbell, as a Texas-based political consultant, is set to make an impression in series creator Beau Willimon’s final season at the helm. Netflix has already picked up the series for a fifth season.
Louie: Season 5 — available March 4
The most acclaimed season of FX’s Louie arrives on Netflix this month. Five is more straightforwardly “funny” than seasons past—some critics even tiptoed close to calling it “more conventional”—but all the awkwardness and bleakness is there. For fans of Louis C.K., and those who have yet to spend 23 minutes laughing awkwardly in his company, this is a must.
Netflix Presents: The Characters — premieres March 11
This Netflix original is one of the more intriguing television experiments in years: Eight up-and-coming comedians are each given a half hour of television and free rein to do whatever they want with it. It’s a sketch show without rules (but with plenty of laughs—we’re promised). You might recognize some of the comedians (Lauren Lapkus, for instance, was the control-room charmer in last summer’s Jurassic World), and there are guest spots for the likes of Tyson Beckford and SNL’s Cecily Strong.
Marvel’s Daredevil: season 2 — premieres March 18
For any fans who felt burnt by the 2003 big-screen outing of Marvel’s blind justice-fighter (read: everyone), Netflix’s TV take on the hero was cause for more than relief—it was cause for jubilant dancing in the streets. Executive producer Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) delivered a dark, violent and thoroughly compelling 13 episodes, and also kicked off a year of very strong TV superhero-dom: Supergirl and Netflix stablemate Jessica Jones came next. Season two promises more of the same thrills and (blood) spills.
