Spring is almost here! We have a feeling days of fun in the sun are still a ways off, and that there are many more weekends of Netflix and cozy blankets ahead of us. Thankfully, the streaming service does not disappoint. Yes, it can be challenging to find exactly the right thing to watch from Netflix's massive library of movies and TV shows, but there's no denying that the selection is not to be rivaled, especially since the streamer adds new content every single month, and in fact, new options are added at least once a week.
For March 2021, there are some interesting entertainment gems coming to the streaming service, including a few much-anticipated series, quite a few documentaries, some International films, and even new movies and Netflix originals, one of which is a new comedy from Amy Poehler. So yeah, there's plenty to get us through until the warmer days arrive.
Netflix hasn't forgotten that the kiddos will be off for Spring Break this month either, and there are some seriously fun children's and family titles arriving in March as well. So be ready to let the kids enjoy a few binge-watching sessions while they get that much-needed reprieve from virtual learning (and don't feel guilty about it, either). Scroll through to find out the best of the best coming to Netflix in March 2021.
