SCARPETTA
Prime Video
After 30 novels, dating back to 1990, Patricia Cornwall’s “Scarpetta” is finally coming to life on the small screen, and the cast is stacked with Oscar winners. Nicole Kidman plays forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta, along with Jamie Lee Curtis and Ariana DeBose in support; three Academy Award honorees together solving mysteries makes this one worth the long wait. Plus Bobby Cannavale and Simon Baker add some male eye candy to the much-anticipated procedural series.
YOUNG SHERLOCK
Prime Video
It took director-producer Guy Ritchie 15 years to circle back to Sherlock Holmes (after making two films about the master detective starring Robert Downey Jr.) with this series devoted to the sleuth’s origin story. Starring Hero Finnes Tiffin as a college-aged Holmes, along with Max Irons as his brother Mycroft, Tiffin’s real-life uncle Joseph Finnes and Oscar winner Colin Firth in the mix. Expect the action-adventure version of Holmes in this eight-part series, and no John Watson, as he comes along later in the canon.
VLADIMIR
Netflix
Steamy scenes and inappropriate relationships make “Vladimir” a showcase for Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, who proves that women in their 50s can still be sexy as hell. Problem is, she’s proving it as a married college professor obsessed with a younger man, which means loads of trouble follows her, in this adaptation of Julia May Jonas’ novel. Leo Woodall is the object of her affection, with John Slattery as her unhappy husband.
THE MADISON
Paramount+
Taylor Sheridan is the most prolific (and successful) writer-producer and sometimes actor working in Hollywood today, which he’s proving again in March 2026 with the release of two new spinoffs to his “Yellowstone” sagas. “The Madison” pushes that envelope a bit, as it isn’t about members of the Dutton family; instead he’s framing it as part of the overall gestalt of Montana living. With Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell and Matthew Fox leading the cast of the Clyburn family who have migrated from New York City to Montana, Sheridan’s likely to have another hit on his hands.
MARSHALS
CBS
Sheridan’s other March spinoff springs directly from the “Yellowstone” cinematic universe, as Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) ends up joining the U.S. Marshals Service. He’s still got his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) at home, but his wife Monica is gone. But still in the mix are the Native Americans from the original series, including actors Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty. Still set in the Montana wilderness, this one’s chockablock with action as the marshals go after the bad guys using the woods as their hideouts.
