March is the month that starts to see the coronavirus pandemic restrictions lift at varying stages across the UK and Ireland, but Netflix is intent on keeping audiences indoors with a month that brings two high-profile animated franchise spin-offs – from DOTA and Pacific Rim – Amy Poehler’s new film, family flick Yes Day, the latest thriller from the creator of Money Heist, plus a new take on Sherlock Holmes.

But it’s the third party acquisitions that really shine this month, with Eighth Grade, Crazy Rich Asians and She Dies Tomorrow forming a trio of recent movie gems, the latest season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine finally arriving and – after an even longer wait – Season 4 of The Bold Type finding a UK TV home.
