JustWatch Streaming Charts: March 2026

These are the movies and TV shows US consumers have been most interested in over the previous month


Scarpetta
Scarpetta features a good story, a killer cast and great direction – most importantly, it’s a medical thriller that knows how to take its time with both its characters and its chain of events. No wonder it attracted a lot of attention in March despite minimal media exposure. (Image: Amazon Prime Video)


Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every film or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different in various regions – select the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet so as to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Consumers are still attracted to nominees and winners of the recent Academy Awards, especially now that many of them are available to stream, but the summer blockbuster season is fast approaching – so this chart may look quite different next month. (Image: JustWatch)


Based on the same information, these are the TV shows that consumers in the United States have shown the most interest in over the same period of time.

A lot of new entries in the TV shows chart over the last few weeks, solid proof of many consumers’ interest in more than safe new seasons of past successes or heavily marketed brands. Always a good thing, that. (Image: JustWatch)


Taking a look at the Top Ten Movies chart one can easily tell how consumer interest is still attracted to nominees and winners of the recent Academy Awards – especially now that many of them are available to stream rather than buy or rent. Netflix’s War Machine may be the outlier here, but it does imply that audiences are now getting ready for the summer blockbuster season fast approaching. Good to see that the weird and wonderful Bugonia is still on people’s radar too, almost half a year after it left cinemas. Nice.

In terms of TV shows things turned out to be much less predictable than last month: the latest seasons of The Pitt, Paradise and Shrinking all got a spot, yes, but so did a few totally new, noteworthy shows, such as The Madison, Scarpetta, Young Sherlock and Love Story. What’s more, these shows are all quite different in style and tone, proving that there’s plenty of variety to be found, as well as ample room for experimentation, in streaming television yet. Here’s to more of that in the months ahead, yes?
