Next in Fashion: Season 2 (March 3)
I have fond memories of watching Tim Gunn and international supermodel Heidi Klum telling frazzled fashion designers with desperation in their eyes to “make it work” in Project Runway. Luckily, Next in Fashion, another design competition show, fills this void. While Queer Eye’s Tan France as host is less ruthless than Mr Gunn, the competition is no less fierce. And the outfits? Incredible. This season he is joined by Gigi Hadid as co-host, and a slew of guest appearances including Gigi’s sister Bella Hadid, and Donatella Versace herself.
Shadow and Bone: Season 2 (March 16)
Based on the best-selling YA fantasy novels, Shadow and Bone is back for a second season with even more magic, adventure and intrigue. Set amongst the “Grishaverse,” a take on 19th century Tsarist Russia, the ending of season one implied that the danger is only beginning for Sun Summoner Alina (Jessie Mei Li) and her best friend Mal (Archie Renaux). A face-off with the Darkling (aka Ben Barnes, hot) is coming, along with new characters, more action and even… romance.
Wellmania (March 29)
Australian comedian Celeste Barber stars in this Netflix original series as Liv, a TV presenter who needs to rethink her “live fast die young” lifestyle and dives into a search for wellness. Based on the non-fiction book by journalist Brigid Delaney, Wellmania is an exploration of the world of wellness culture and all the bizarre—and controversial—treatments that are out there. Hopefully this show will shine a light on how ridiculous and predatory wellness culture can be. But you know, in an upbeat and funny way.
Top Picks: Movies + Specials
Fall (March 2)
The premise is simple: two best friends decide to climb a 2,000-foot decommissioned radio tower as a way to cathartically work through the loss of one friend’s husband due to a fall from a rock-climbing adventure. However, things get tense when suddenly they get stranded on the top. If you’re scared of heights, this may not be the movie for you—then again, adrenaline filled suspense films set predominantly in one setting can be thrilling. 2,000 feet in the air and alone in the middle of the desert, how will they get themselves out of this one?
Luther: The Fallen Sun (March 10)
Idris Elba reprises his role from the British crime-thriller series as the titular Luther. Now a disgraced detective, this tie-in movie sees Luther escaping prison to hunt down the psycho-killer David Robey (Andy Serkis, of course) who he failed to take down, and continues to taunt—and haunt—him. The hunt is on, but in a dual narrative: the hunt for Luther, who is an escaped prisoner, and the hunt for Robey, which doubles the suspense. The flawless Cynthia Erivo also joins the cast.
Murder Mystery 2 (March 31)
Surely Adam Sandler solving a murder is a fluke, but he and Jennifer Aniston are back for Murder Mystery 2. Now official private detectives, the bumbling pair get swept up in another mystery after their billionaire friend gets kidnapped at his own wedding. Murder mysteries can be cosy due to the comfort found in their predictability. Murder Mystery 2 is no different, because while there are few certainties in life, that Mark Strong is going to turn up in some kind of action side-character is one of them. Welcome to the party, pal!
