STREAM

Small aliens, large tigers and medium-sized

former wizards all feature in this month’s

selection of on-demand telly treats

Ozark

Possibly the most tension-wracked

TV show since Breaking Bad, Ozark

returns for a third season with

Jason Bateman and Laura Linney

still struggling to keep their family

together in the face of drug cartels,

hillbilly crimelords and the FBI. Ah

well, these things will happen when

you’ve been forced into laundering

millions for society’s worst people.

S3 / Netflix, 27 March

Save Me Too

Lennie James, Suranne Jones and

Stephen Graham return in the

follow-up to Save Me – arguably

Sky’s finest original TV show of

the past few years. A compelling

character-driven drama, Save Me

delved into the dark underbelly of

Britain – and the second series will

take us right back. Oscar nominee

Lesley Manville joins the cast.

S2 / Now TV, 1 April

Run

We’ve all done it: made a pact with

an ex that, should one of us ever

text the other the word ‘RUN’, we’d

drop everything and travel across

the USA together. OK, so maybe

it’s just us and the main characters

in this new series from Fleabag

creators Phoebe Waller-Bridge

and Vicky Jones. Domhnall Gleeson

and Merritt Wever star

S1 / Now TV, 15 April

Guns Akimbo

Daniel Radcliffe’s game developer

wakes up to find he’s been drafted

into a real-life televised death

match in this action comedy... and

the creators of the lethal contest

have even taken the time to bolt

pistols to both his hands. The only

way he’ll make it out alive is to take

out the champion, a balletic killer

played by Samara Weaving.

Film / Amazon Prime, 26 March

Veronica Mars

Veronica Mars is the detective
show that won’t die. It ended its
original run in 2007, returned in
the shape of a crowdfunded movie
in 2014... and is now resurrected
for one final (yeah, right) series in

2020. Kristen Bell reprises her role
      as the So-Cal PI called into action
      when her beach town is the subject
      of a terrifying bomb attack.
      S4 / StarzPlay, 27 March

Tiger King

Those with a taste for weird real-life
drama will get plenty of mileage out
of this doc series. It covers the life
of Joe Maldonado-Passage, aka
Joe Exotic – a gun-obsessed
polygamist and big-cat breeder
currently serving time for a wide
range of offences against both
animals and humans. Truth really
can be stranger than fiction.
S1 / Netflix, 20 March

The Mandalorian S1 / Disney+, 24 March

Disney+ finally arrives in the UK on 24 March, and with it comes the first ever live action

Star Wars series: The Mandalorian. Set in the period between the original trilogy and the

latest batch of films, it stars Pedro Pascal as a bounty hunter contracted to protect a child

who’s already been dubbed ‘Baby Yoda’ by smitten fans. If you like the idea of an episodic

Western-style adventure set in a grittier Star Wars universe than we’ve seen thus far,

this will surely be the highlight of your month – if not your year.
