March 2018 is set to be a bumper month for new Netflix Original movies and series coming to the service across the globe. Below, we’ll preview each of the new series, movies, documentaries and anime series scheduled to be added throughout March.
It’s not often we preview Netflix Originals this early as we usually have to wait for a fuller list of titles to be announced. Netflix, however, has released so much information about what’s coming to Netflix in March we just had to release it early.
Three Netflix Original anime series are planned this month with one having been announced under a different name before and the other two being brand new to the service. As with most anime on Netflix, it premieres on the streaming provider shortly after airing in Japan. We also say goodbye this month to Jud Apatow’s series plus also welcome the creators of Workaholics for a new comedy movie.
As always, you’ll want to keep coming back as we hear of new titles every day plus come back towards the end of February when we’ll have the full list of titles both from Netflix and other providers.
B: The Beginning (Season 1)

One of several new anime series added to Netflix in March. This series comes as a rebrand of the title previously known as Perfect Bones. 12 episodes are planned where we’ll discover a new species of humans meant to bring peace but are instead kidnapped by a nefarious group.
We’re still waiting for an English dubbed trailer but we’ve embedded the Japanese version for now.
Voltron: Legendary Defender (Season 5)

Jessica Jones (Season 2)
Netflix Release Date: March 8th, 2018
Can you believe it’s over two and a half years since we had Jessica Jones first outing?

This full adventure has been in production since April 2017 and finished up in September.
What can we expect in season 2? Well, apparently David Tennant will be making a return but apart from that, things have been pretty tight-lipped.
