New to Disney+ in March
Variety reports season three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, which has just launched on Disney+, probably won’t make any sense unless you’ve watched The Book of Boba Fett.
Here’s a round-up of everything casual fans need to know while those wondering how the cancelling of cast member Gina Carano (Cara Dune) would be handled story-wise can catch up here.
Mercifully, there’s much more to Disney+ in March than just another Star Wars off-shoot, including the 40-years-in-the-making Mel Brooks sequel History of the World, Part II (March 6), the Oscar nominated The Banshees of Inisherin (March 8), a new movie version of Boston Stranger from the perspective of the reporters who covered the true-life serial killings (March 17) and S2 of Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. (March 31).
The Watchful Eye (March 29) is an acclaimed mystery-thriller about a live-in nanny for an affluent family in a Manhattan building where everyone has deadly secrets and ulterior motives while Rye Lane (March 31) is a highly-rated rom-com movie about two South London youngsters who connect one eventful day while reeling from bad breakups.
Also watch for:
➢ Finding Michael (March 3): Bear Grylls documentary about the search for an Everest mountaineer who disappeared 23 years ago.
➢ Will Trent (March 8): A critics’ favourite based on the Karin Slaughter books about a special agent who overcomes a harsh childhood to achieve the highest clearance rate in Georgia (this week there was a multi-platform ratings hike for the ABC series).
➢ Still Missing Morgan (March 8): An ABC news investigation of a 30-year-old kidnapping.
➢ UnPrisoned (March 10): A Kerry Washington comedy about a solo-mum therapist whose ex-con dad moves in with the family
➢ Chang Can Dunk (March 10): A 16-year-old Asian American student in the marching band bets the school basketball star that he can dunk by homecoming.
➢ Where is Private Dulaney? (March 15): Another ABC News investigation, into the mystery surrounding the US Marine who was declared AWOL in 1979
➢ Bono & The Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, with Dave Letterman (March 17): The U2 duo reflect on their music and friendship, complete with never-before-seen footage and interviews.
➢ Up Here (March 24): musical rom-com that will launch the same day on Hulu in the US.

As a fan of series 1 & 2 of The Mandalorian, I have to say the first episode of series 3 was very meh, verging on boring in fact. Thankfully Picard series 3 and Carnival Row series 2 are turning out to be brilliant.
That’s great to hear about Prime video’s Carnival Row, Darren. I loved the first season.
Same here Philip, it’s a shame that it turned out to be an enquired taste and clearly didn’t rate as well as Amazon had hoped. I recommended it to quite a few people, but they didn’t like it.
Up Here looks cute going by the trailer 😁
