Crime, thrillers, sci-fi and Cillian Murphy back on our screens – here’s what to watch on Netflix, Prime Video and AppleTV+ …

Young Sherlock | Prime Video

Not to be confused with US sitcom Young Sheldon (although this seems to be a pattern in streaming), the latest iteration of the detective adventure out on March 4 is an eight-episode adaptation of Andrew Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes book series, itself a pastiche of Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes stories. It tells the origin story of 19-year-old Holmes, played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin (After) – Ralph Fiennes and Joseph’s nephew, who plays his father in the show alongside Natascha McElhone as his mother – while he’s entangled in a murder at Oxford. Cork actor Dónal Finn (The Wheel of Time) plays future nemesis Moriarty, as a Kerry man no less; Andrew Scott famously played him as a cocky south Dubliner opposite Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series Sherlock. The impressive cast also includes Max Irons as his older brother, Colin Firth, Zine Tseng (3 Body Problem), Numan Acar (Paradise) and Dubliner Simon Delaney, all directed by Guy Ritchie, so expect plenty of action and high-production value.

Scarpetta | Prime Video

Based on the bestselling book series of the same name by Patricia Cornwell, produced by Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis – two of the busiest women in Hollywood who star as sisters – this eight-part series out on March 11 follows a forensic pathologist working to unmask a serial killer and prove that her career-making case from 28 years ago isn’t her undoing. Bobby Cannavale (The Watcher) plays a former detective who comes on board to help his colleague and friend, with his son Jake playing his younger character. Look out for familiar faces in Simon Baker (The Devil Wears Prada), Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Amanda Righetti (The Mentalist), Rosy McEwen (Black Mirror) and Hunter Parish (It’s Complicated). If you like true crime with a touch of A-list drama, you’ll love this.

Pretty Lethal | Prime Video

This action-thriller flick out on March 25 follows a dysfunctional ballet troupe forced to use their training to fight for survival against back a gang of armed men who target them when their bus breaks down enroute to a competition in the middle of nowhere. Uma Thurman plays a former dancer determined to make the girls regret ever coming into her life. The team of feuding girls include Iris Apatow (Tell Me Lies), Lana Condor (To All The Boys I Have Loved Before), Maddie Ziegler (Dance Moms), Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place I and II) and Avantika Vandanapu (Mean Girls, 2024). Think Scream Queens and Yellowjackets … sold.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man | Netflix

A continuation of the hit drama that ran for six series between 2013-2022, the much-anticipated film – in select cinemas on March 6 and on Netflix on March 20 – sees Cillian Murphy return as gangster patriach Tommy Shelby to face his most destructive reckoning yet amid the chaos of World War II. With the future of his family and country at stake, he has to face his demons and his legacy. Stephen Graham (Adolescence) also returns, with new additions in Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) who plays Shelby’s son, Rebecca Ferguson (Dune), Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction), Paul Anderson (Legend) and breakout star Jay Lycurgo who wowed audiences as a troubled teen alongside Murphy in 2025 Netflix film Steve.

The Dinosaurs | Netflix

This four-part docu-series, also out on March 6, produced by Steven Spielberg and narrated by Morgan Freeman (after Life On Our Planet and Our Universe) uses cutting-edge visual effects to explore their 165m year reign. Expect famous prehistoric stars like apex predators T-Rex and armoured icons Stegosaurus with many lesser-known species drawn from the latest fossil research. From tiny proto-dinosaurs to giants beyond our comprehension, plus leviathans in the sea and early feathered fliers, The Dinosaurs runs the gamut, illustrating how the species evolved across millennia in response to a volatile world. One for the whole family.

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen | Netflix

From the brains behind Stranger Things, The Duffer Brothers’ eight-part horror series out on March 26 covers a wedding where everything goes wrong, similar to RTE’s popular new show These Sacred Vows with Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Love/Hate, Avengers), Justine Mitchell (Derry Girls, Smother), India Mullen (Normal People, Say Nothing), Aoife Hinds (Normal People, Saipan) and many more Irish stars. Directed by Baby Reindeer’s Weronika Tofilsk, it captures a host of misadventures that take place in the week leading up to a couple’s nuptials. Starring Camila Morrone (Daisy Jones & The Six), Adam DiMarco (The White Lotus), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight, Fargo), Gus Birney (Black Rabbit), Jeff Wilbusch (Unorthodox), Karla Crome (Lazarus) and Zlatko Buric (The Triangle of Sadness). As the title implies, this is not for the faint-hearted.

Imperfect Women | Apple TV+

Another adaptation of a novel by the same name, by Araminta Hall, Desperate Housewives producer Annie Weisman is behind this psychological thriller that’s the perfect mix of Big Little Lies and Secrets We Keep. Elizabeth Moss, Kerry Washington and Kate Mara star as lifelong friends living in LA. Their decades-long friendship is tested when one of the trio is murdered and an investigation reveals shocking truths: did they ever really know each other at all? BFFs, glam, crime … tick, tick, tick! The stellar cast includes Corey Stoll (The Better Sister), Rome Flynn (How To Get Away with Murder), Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad), Ana Oritz (Goosebumps: The Vanishing), Sherri Saum (Good Trouble) and Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton).
