The 10 Best Things Coming to Paramount+ in March 2026

You don’t have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy the offerings on Paramount+, which always offers a diverse schedule of TV and movie programming. This month, the streamer is serving up a new cooking competition show starring former Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi, 55, and not one but two new series set in the Montana multiverse of prolific Yellowstone producer Taylor Sheridan, 55 — including one starring Michelle Pfeiffer, 67, and Kurt Russell, 74. Here are the best 10 new movies and series to check out from the streamer.

Coming Mar. 1

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)

Irish auteur Martin McDonagh’s quirky character study earned nine Oscar nominations. And for good reason. Brendan Gleeson, 70, plays an icy curmudgeon who suddenly decides to break off a longtime friendship, much to the bruised bewilderment of Colin Farrell’s donkey-loving farmer. The remote fictional island of Inisherin, off Ireland’s west coast, emerges as another full-fledged character here —a rugged land lushly shot by cinematographer Ben Davis. 

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957)

Sometimes it takes legends to play legends. Burt Lancaster stars as frontier lawman Wyatt Earp opposite Kirk Douglas as outlaw John “Doc” Holiday in John Sturges’ muscular old-school Western. Frankie Laine’s title ballad sets the tone from the opening frame, and the two stars bring a crackling energy that builds to a memorable final 11-minute shoot-out. (Never mind that the actual gunfight was over in about 30 seconds, one of many liberties the film takes with the historical record.)

Nobody’s Fool (1994)

The late Paul Newman stars in this underrated gem about a 60-year-old man who’s stumbled through life as a sometime construction worker and regular barfly, suddenly called upon to step up as a father and grandfather. Robert Benton’s film, based on a Richard Russo novel, offers a showy star turn for Newman, who benefits from an equally stellar supporting cast that includes the late Jessica Tandy, Bruce Willis, 70, and Melanie Griffith, 68.

The Queen (2006)

It’s hard to believe that two decades have passed since Dame Helen Mirren, 80, delivered her Oscar-winning performance as the late Elizabeth II in the wake of the sudden and tragic 1997 death of Princess Diana. Director Stephen Frears, 84, captures the British royal family — and the hyper-traditional woman at its center — at a moment of crisis that threatened to reshape the monarchy. In light of more recent events, the challenges raised by Diana seem almost quaint. But Mirren offers a riveting portrait of a woman who seems to define herself by her hidebound resistance to change — and yet bends when new circumstances call for it.
