New on Netflix in March 2018: the best movies and TV shows coming soon

Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Love, Designated Survivor, A Series of Unfortunate Events and Annihilation starring Natalie Portman are all released on Netflix UK this spring

Marvel's Jessica Jones

It’s not quite spring yet, but there are already signs that winter is coming to an end. For one, there are some beautiful new shows sprouting up on Netflix UK, including new episodes of Designated Survivor, Love and Jessica Jones.

There’s also plenty of fantastic Original films dropping too, including Annihilation, Alex Garland’s hotly anticipated follow-up to Ex Machina. It’s a female-led sci-fi which stars Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson and Jennifer Jason Leigh, and the reviews from the US – where it has already received a cinematic release – are very, very good.

Elsewhere, Jared Leto stars as an American soldier in Japan who gets involved with the Yakuza in The Outsider. 

There are a few classics arriving this month, too, led by Tribe Called Quest documentary Beats Rhymes and Life, Kramer Vs Kramer and German WW2 drama Downfall.

Here is everything coming to Netflix UK in March 2018.
