What’s new on Netflix Canada in March 2021

Every month, kawarthaNOW is the only local media source to bring you a list of what’s coming to Netflix Canada.

Depending on what floats your boat, Netflix’s offerings in March may either make you happy to spend more time on the couch or prompt you to cancel your subscription and spend more time outdoors.

One highlight is the new Netflix original series The One, based on the book of the same name by British writer John Marrs. It’s a psychological sci-fi thriller starring Hannah Ware and Dimitri Leonidas that takes the concept of soulmates to the extreme.

In the near future, a scientist discovers a DNA test can find your perfect partner — the one person you’re genetically predisposed to fall passionately in love with. The discovery leads to the creation of the MatchDNA service, but the consequences are more complicated than you might imagine. The One premieres on Netflix on Friday, March 12th.

 

 

For lighter fare, there’s the Netflix film Moxie (Mar. 3), based on the novel by Jennifer Mathieu and directed by Amy Poehler. Fed up with the sexist and toxic status quo at her high school, a shy 16-year-old finds inspiration from her mother’s rebellious past and anonymously publishes a zine that sparks a school-wide, coming-of-rage revolution.

If you prefer reality, there’s the docu-series Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell (Mar. 1), that tells the origin story of the late hip-hop icon Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G., renowned for his distinctive flow and autobiographical lyrics. There’s also the docu-series The Lost Pirate Kingdom (Mar. 15), which tells the story of the real-life pirates of the Caribbean.

Other Netflix films in March include: Dogwashers and Sentinelle (Mar. 5); Bombay Rose (Mar. 8); Coven of Sisters (Mar. 11); Paper Lives and Yes Day (Mar. 12); Caught by a Wave (Mar. 25); A Week Away (Mar. 26); and Bad Trip (Mar. 27).
