March 2025 TV preview: Daredevil’s return, The Studio, and The Righteous Gemstones’ final bow

Spring TV kicks off with some notable debuts and highly-anticipated returns. The biggest of the latter has to be Daredevil, which is back after seven long years, moving from Netflix to Disney+ for Born Again. Meanwhile, HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones serves up its final episodes and AMC’s Dark Winds returns for a third season. As for buzzy premieres, Seth Rogen leads a promising looking and cameo-heavy satire about the film industry, Amanda Seyfried goes all Mare Of Easttown on us, and Ellen Pompeo lands her first non-Grey’s Anatomy TV role in more than two decades. Here is The A.V. Club’s guide to what to watch in March.  


Celtics City (HBO, March 3) 

The Boston Celtics get The Last Dance treatment (kinda) with this nine-episode deep dive into the franchise. Executive produced by Bill Simmons and Connor Schell, in the pair’s first onscreen collaboration since ESPN’s often fantastic 30 For 30 series, the doc tells the tale of a team that took the sport by storm, touching on both the championship highs as well as the city’s racist lows (something TLD’s Jason Hehir compelling captured in Murder In Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning).

Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+, March 4) 

Charlie Cox suits up as Matt Murdock once more for Daredevil: Born Again, which is set years after the events of Netflix’s series (and Endgame). The new episodes feature the titular vigilante on another quest to defeat his nemesis, Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio). Former cast members Elden Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, Jon Bernthal, Ayelet Zurer, and Wilson Bethel also reprise their roles here. [Saloni Gajjar] 


Deli Boys (Hulu, March 6) 

In the dark comedy Deli Boys, nothing is convenient for brothers Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Saagar Shaikh). After their father’s death, the two realize that the family’s successful bodega business—which they just inherited—is a front for a large-scale drug operation. To continue living a lavish life and avoid prison, they must deal with criminals under the guidance of their cool confidante, Lucky (Poorna Jagannathan). [Saloni Gajjar]  


The Righteous Gemstones season four (HBO, March 9) 

Danny McBride’s rip-roaring comedy about a megachurch ends with its fourth season. Will Uncle Baby Billy (Walton Goggins) get his weird TV show about teen Jesus Christ made and will Eli Gemstone (John Goodman) ever stop drinking? Expect these pressing questions to be answered in the show’s farewell run. Megan Mullally and Seann William Scott join the impressive ensemble for this last gasp. [Saloni Gajjar] 


Dark Winds season three (AMC, March 9)

One of TV’s most underrated dramas returns with a third season a brand-new case to solve. In the ’70s-set Dark Winds, Navajo Nation detectives Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon) and Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon) are on the hunt for a missing teen, while officer Bernadette (Jessica Matten) moves to work at border patrol and discovers corruption in the force. Jenna Elfman and Bruce Greenwood join the cast this time around. [Saloni Gajjar] 


Long Bright River (Peacock, March 13) 

Based on Liz Moore’s 2020 novel, Long Bright River sees Amanda Seyfried getting her very own Mare Of Easttown. In the show, she plays a Philadelphia cop determined to solve a series of killings that occur in a neighborhood hit hard by the opioid crisis. Ashleigh Cummings, Nicholas Pinnock, John Doman, and Perry Mattfeld round out the cast. [Saloni Gajjar]  


Dope Thief (Apple TV+, March 14)

More Philly action! The Town co-scribe Peter Craig created Apple TV+’s latest crime drama, which centers on two Philadelphia pals (played, in some pretty promising news, by Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura) who pretend to be DEA agents to rip off drug houses. When the guys hits the wrong spot, a criminal operation comes after them and their loved ones. (Interestingly, Better Call Saul’s Michael Mando was originally cast in Moura’s part but was allegedly replaced “following a clash with a co-star.”) [Tim Lowery] 


Good American Family (Hulu, March 19) 

Ellen Pompeo makes the jump from from medical drama to true-crime for her first post-Grey’s Anatomy TV role. She leads Hulu’s Good American Family alongside Mark Duplass, Christina Hendricks, Imogen Faith Reid, Sarayu Blue, and Dulé Hull. The limited series is based on the infamous Natalia Grace case, in which the child’s adoptive parents begin to question her age and origins, abandoning her in the process. [Saloni Gajjar] 


The Residence (Netflix, March 20)

Shondaland’s next big Netflix adventure after Bridgerton is a murder mystery set in…The White House. In The Residence, an eccentric detective (played by Uzo Aduba) is called to 1600 Penn after someone dies during a state dinner, investigating 157 official personnel to determine the killer. The cast also features Randall Park, Ken Marino, Susan Kelechi Watson, Giancarlo Esposito, and Jane Curtin. [Saloni Gajjar] 


The Studio (Apple TV+, March 26) 

A hell of a lot of industry folks play themselves—Steve Buscemi, Martin Scorsese, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Charlize Theron, and Johnny Knoxville (star of the in-show zombie-diarrhea comedy DUHPOCALYPSE) among them—in this satire of filmmaking, in which series co-creator Seth Rogen stars as the head of a fledgling studio. Kathryn Hahn, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Ike Barinholtz, and Chase Sui Wonders co-star. [Tim Lowery]
