All The Movies & TV Shows Arriving In March 2024

Apple TV+, is known for its award-winning original movies and shows, and there are plenty of new movies and TV shows dropping on the platform in March 2024. Apple TV+ positioned itself as an alternative to Netflix by offering exclusive original content not found anywhere else. Unlike other streaming services, the Apple TV+ catalog remains mostly constant with little departing every month. The streamer frequently adds new high-profile movies and shows that help make Apple TV+ one of the more prestigious entertainment platforms.

Though not every original series or movie is a hit, Apple TV+ has struck gold with such shows as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, and Severance. The streaming service diversified into the worlds of children’s programming and sports as well. While it might not be a massive source of content like Netflix and Hulu, the best TV shows on Apple TV+ are star-studded affairs that rival the biggest budget network programs. Each month sees the arrival of exciting new content for Apple TV+, and March 2024 is no exception.

Napoleon

March 1, 2024

In 2023, Ridley Scott released his new movie based on the life of Napoleon Bonaparte in partnership with Apple. However, as a theatrical-first release, it didn’t hit the Apple TV+ streaming service until March 1, 2024, just over three months after its release. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon and depicts the French emperor’s rise to power and also has a focus on the relationship with his wife, Josephine, played in the movie by Vanessa Kirby. The movie received mixed reviews upon its release.

One of the biggest problems that critics have is the historical inaccuracies. However, when watched as a historical biopic for entertainment purposes, it is a giant epic movie that Scott shoots beautifully. The Oscars recognized Napoleon with three nominations, all for its look – Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Visual Effects.

The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin

March 1, 2024

While movies like Napoleon were dismissed for historical inaccuracies, The Completely Made-Up Adventures Of Dick Turpin wears that like a badge of honor in its title. Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh, The IT Crowd) stars as the protagonist, a highway robber who leads his band of lovable outlaws. In the meantime, the government wants to bring him down by any means necessary. Their main man is the “thief-taker” Jonathan Wilde (Hugh Bonneville).

The entire movie takes the historical situation lightly with an irreverent comedy retelling of the 18th-century highway robber – a man who rejects violence and prefers to use showmanship and charm to pull off his heists while becoming more and more popular along the way. The series is made up of six episodes, premiering on March 1 and ending on March 29.

The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy – Season 2

March 8, 2024

Eugene Levy is back with the second season of his globe-trotting Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy. Season 1 consisted of six episodes, with Levy going to Portugal, South Africa, Maldives, Italy, Finland, Costa Rica, Japan, and the United States. It was a quick success and resulted in a renewal for a second season, which will contain seven episodes as Levy sets off for a grand tour across Europe, starting in the northern part of the continent and moving south.

This is, above all, a travelog with the humor of Eugene Levy at the forefront. Levy will find hidden gems, discover his family tree, and experiment with food from different countries. Included in this season are trips to Sweden for Midsummer, Scotland to visit his mother’s homeland, dinging with a luminary in Saint-Tropez, and much more. The second season starts on March 8.

Manhunt

March 15, 2024

The John Wilkes Booth limited series Manhunt hits Apple TV+ in March 2024.

The series stars Anthony Boyle as John Wilkes Booth and Hamish Linklater as Abraham Lincoln. It tells the story of the lead-in to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and then moves on to the manhunt for Booth and his companions, led by Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies).

Manhunt features seven episodes and premieres on March 15, 2024. The finale will air on April 19. The series is not completely historically accurate, but it will attempt to tell the full story of why Booth killed the President and what role his allies might have had in the assassination plot.

Palm Royale

The series, which features 10 episodes, tells the story of a woman who wants to attain a spot in Palm Beach high society. However, she has to decide what she will and won’t do to achieve this goal. The series is a star-studded affair, with Kristen Wiig in the lead role as socialite Maxine Simmons, and some amazing talent surrounding her in the cast.

Also starring in the series are Leslie Bibb, Allison Janney, Laura Dern, Josh Lucas, Ricky Martin, and the iconic Carol Burnett. The first three episodes premiere on March 20, and it will then play out with one episode a week, finishing up on May 8.

March 29, 2024

Continuing Shows In February 2024 On Apple TV+

The New Look Ends On April 3

Premiering on Apple TV+ on February 14, 2024, the new historical series The New Look takes viewers back to World War II. The series takes place in Nazi-occupied Paris and focuses on the rise of Christian Dior and his groundbreaking influence in the world of fashion design. However, on top of the horrors of war during those years, a more personal story is told about Dior’s intense rivalry with another prominent fashion designer in Paris – Coco Chanel. While it might seem superficial, it is the rise of fashion that helped Paris regain its identity.

Ben Mendelsohn (Talos from the MCU’s Captain Marvel) stars as Christian Dior while Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient) stars as Coco Chanel. The series also stars Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) as Catherine Dior, John Malkovich (Space Force) as Lucien Lelong, Emily Mortimer (Mary Poppins Returns) as Elsa Lombardi, and Glenn Close (Damages) as Carmel Snow. The New Look will feature 10 episodes, with the first three dropping on February 14 and the finale arriving on April 3.

The Dynasty: New England Patriots Ends On March 15

Apple TV+ has a new sports-themed documentary coming in February 2024 with The Dynasty: New England Patriots. Helmed by Tiger director Matthew Hamachek, the documentary shows the rise of the Patriots in the NFL, from Tom Brady’s arrival to the team to its 20-year run with multiple Super Bowl appearances and several championship wins. The documentary is a 10-part series, and it appears that it will look at everything about the Patriots dynasty, from the good to the very bad.

This includes controversies like “Deflate-Gate” as well as the murder trial and conviction of star tight end Aaron Hernandez. It also looks like it will delve into whether this was Bill Belichick’s team or if it was Tom Brady who truly led them to multiple championships. Based on the bestselling book by Jeff Benedict, the documentary talks to everyone from Belichick and Brady to owner Robert Kraft and several players from throughout the years.

Constellation Ends On March 27

Constellation is a sci-fi movie starring Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) as Jo, an astronaut who returns to Earth after a disaster in space — only to discover that key pieces of her life seem to be missing. The movie is a drama about how this woman has to piece together what she lost, and figure out the truth and hidden history of space travel so she can regain what she lost in her life away from Earth.

Created by Peter Harness (Wallander), Constellation seems like it deals with a myriad of themes, from the trauma faced by astronauts after a near-death experience to possible interstellar travel to alternate worlds. On top of Rapace, the series also stars James D’Arcy (Oppenheimer) and Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad). It also features twins Rosie and Davina Coleman as Alice, Jo’s daughter.
