There’s something for every type of TV fan in the top TV shows in March 2026, whether you like realistic medical dramas, long-awaited sequels, or vibrant adaptations, your favorite new show is below. Here are the ten most popular shows in March, according to Just Watch.
The Madison
It’s no surprise The Madison is the most broadcast series in the country; Yellow stone creator Tyler Sheridan has a knack for creating television shows that everyone will enjoy. Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell star in this film Yellow stone spin-off, a neo-Western family drama about heartbreak and redemption. After the family patriarch and his brother die in a plane crash, the extended Clyburn clan moves from New York to the Madison River Valley of southwest Montana, hoping to find grace and healing in nature. Flow The Madison on Paramount+.
Heaven
The “Paradise” of the series’ title is an upscale experimental community for the wealthy and connected, hidden in an underground bunker in Colorado. The planet’s surface may be an irradiated hellscape, but in Heaven everything seems perfect, until an alien enters. Sterling K. Brown plays Xavier Collins, a Secret Service agent investigating the murder of the U.S. President in Paradise. Flow Heaven on Hulu.
The Pitt
HBO’s hyper-realistic medical drama has won critical and audience acclaim for its well-drawn characters and relentless pace. This followed a single 15-hour shift at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. Starring Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael Robinavitch, The Pitt abandons the “disease of the week” format of many medical shows in favor of an examination of the consequences that the modern medical system imposes on everyone involved. The first season won five Emmy Awards, and judging by the first few episodes, season two could win more. Flow The Pitt on HBO Max.
Scarpette
Based on the bestselling novels by Patricia Cornwell, Scarpette stars Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Virginia’s chief medical examiner, who uses cutting-edge technology to solve cases. Scarpette is a brooding thriller that uses realism rather than sensationalism to examine science, law, and the psychological weight of the search for justice. Bonus: The supporting cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Cannavale. Flow Scarpette on Amazon Prime.
DTF St. Louis
In execution, DTF St. Louis is even more offbeat than its premise: a murder mystery tied to a dating app for married people looking for action on the side. Jason Bateman plays Clark Forrest, a Missouri TV meteorologist accused of murdering Floyd Smernitch (David Harbour), his friend, an on-air sign language interpreter, and the husband of Carol (Linda Cardellini), the woman with whom Clark is having an affair. Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins and Wednesday‘s Joy Sunday plays the detectives on the case. This all sounds like material for a salacious thriller, but writer/director Steven Conrad (Prime Video’s weird and wonderful film) Patriot) has something more complex in mind: sadder, funnier and definitely weirder. Stream DTF St. Louis on HBO Max.
Contraction
January saw the premiere of the third season of Apple TV+ Contractiona 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 grieving 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. Contraction has been nominated for nine Primetime Emmies, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, but has yet to take home a statue. Unfair! Flow Contraction on Apple TV+.
What do you think of it so far?
One piece
One piece appears to have broken the curse of live-action anime, with fans and critics praising the series for its evocative world-building and pitch-perfect casting. Season 2 of the Netflix series finds the Straw Hat crew on the high seas, sailing the dangerous Grand Line in search of legendary treasure. Iñaki Godoy plays aspiring pirate king Monkey D.

Young Sherlock
People never get tired of Sherlock Holmes. Amazon Prime’s energetic 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 abandons the “case of the week” formula in favor of a single story big and bold enough for an entire season of television. Flow Young Sherlock on Amazon Prime.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
It’s not your grandfather’s Kaiju. Apple TV+’s multi-generational sci-fi epic follows two siblings as they discover their family’s connection to Monarch, the shadowy organization monitoring Godzilla and his fellow Titans. Starring father-son duo 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 more in-depth way than one might expect from a show about giant monsters. Flow Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+.
Love story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette
Ryan Murphy’s latest production takes place at the intersection of glory and tragedy. It delves into the lives of John Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon. Then the world’s most famous couple, Kennedy and Bessette attempt to maintain their relationship in the face of a voracious press and the political expectations that come with being Kennedy.
