The only thing more impressive than the speed in which I bought the Overwatch Sanrio skins is the speed that people have created cosplays for them
A new month means a new batch of shows and movies on all of your favorite streaming services. Apple TV certainly has a shorter list of releases than something like Netflix or HBO Max, as the service itself has long claimed a "quality over quantity" approach to original programming. The bulk of new additions are full-fledged Apple TV Originals, including the return of For All Mankind. If you're already hooked on an Apple series or are looking forward to any new ones, here’s everything coming to Apple TV in March 2026.
Apple TV continues to be the streaming home for all things Formula 1, with two major events scheduled for March. The Australian Grand Prix will run from March 5 to March 8, while the Chinese Grand Prix runs from March 12 to 15.
The Hunt is one of the first new Apple TV series we’ll be getting in March. The French-language thriller was originally delayed from its initial 2025 release date over plagiarism concerns, which now seemed to be resolved by addressing the show as “a story based on Shoot by Douglas Fairbairn.”
Wednesdays are also when we’ll get new episodes of Drops of God, Shrinking, and, in this case, the final episode of Hijack.
The Last Thing He Told Me is yet another Apple series carrying over from earlier this year. Fridays are also when we’ll get new episodes of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2, which just premiered at the end of February. We already got the chance to check out the full second season, with critic Tara Bennet claiming it “retains bragging rights as the Monsterverse project giving audiences the best balance of kaiju thrills and compelling storytelling.”
Another premiere, Twisted Yoga is a docu-series that gives ex-members of an abusive tantric yoga studio the opportunity to tell their stories.
Imperfect Women is yet another new psychological thriller starring Kerry Washington (Scandal) and Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale). Created for television by Annie Weisman, the series will follow how a single crime leads to the undoing of three best friends.
If you didn’t know, Apple TV brought back the mid-2000s Nickelodeon show Wonder Pets for an ‘urban takeover’ spin-off back in 2024. The family-friendly series will kick off its second season toward the middle of the month.
One of the biggest premieres of the month is the sci-fi hit For All Mankind returning for a fifth season. We’ve been pretty big fans of this show, from our 9/10 review of the Season 1 Premiere all the way through to the most recent season. (Though there were some hiccups along the way).
The new season jumps to 2012 with the usual mix of new and returning cast members. It’s also slated for the usual 10 episodes, concluding ahead of the premiere of the Russia-focused spin-off, Star City, later this year.
Apple TV is one of the more unique streaming services. It only offers one subscription plan, which costs $12.99/month, and is otherwise available through one of the more reasonably priced streaming bundles with Peacock. The most common entry point for Apple TV is the three-month trial included in most new Apple device purchases, but the streaming service also happens to offer its own seven-day free trial for new subscribers.

LEGO staggers its announcements for upcoming sets, so I don’t blame you if you’re not aware of just how stacked the LEGO release slate is for March 2026. It’s stacked higher than the Eiffel Tower LEGO set. It’s stacked, friends.
We’ve got the first Smart Play Star Wars sets. We’ve got Sauron’s helmet from The Lord of the Rings. We’ve got the final battle from Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We’ve got Winnie the Pooh and Batman and a famous painting from Claude Monet. And that’s just for starters, so let’s get to it.
Want a blurb-free list of all the most notable sets coming out in March 2026? Scroll no further down. Just scroll sideways through the above catalog.
One of the most iconic matchups in video game history from one of the best games ever made? This is what we needed, even if we didn’t know it.
How much screen time did my dude Sauron have in the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Maybe a couple of minutes? However long it was, it was enough to turn the evil lord’s helmet into an iconic piece of fantasy armor. I love the look of this set, and I love the reasonable price even more.
First it was a novel by Andy Weir, the writer of The Martian. Now Project Hail Mary is a LEGO set, just in time for the May 20 theatrical release of the film adaptation starring Ryan Gosling.
LEGO is introducing a new line of Smart Brick sets, centered around a brand-new high-tech brick. Three of these sets come with at least one Smart Brick, which can light up and make sounds based on input from their many sensors. The first wave of these sets are all Star Wars, so expect lots of Lightsaber sounds and lines from the movies.
It’s been over a decade since Rocksteady released the last Batman Arkham game. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is here to fill the hole left behind. It still has the silly and cute aesthetic of classic LEGO games, but it incorporates many of the fun combat ideas from the Batman Arkham games. It looks great, and if you buy any of these sets, you’ll get golden skins for Batman or the Batmobiles you can redeem in-game.
These sets technically came out February 27, on the 30th anniversary of the unstoppable franchise. But that’s close enough to March that I’m including them here anyway. Each one of these sets is stunning, so check out our We Build articles based on LEGO Eevee, LEGO Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, and LEGO Pikachu and Poké Ball for details and photo slideshows on each one.
I love the LEGO Art series. It takes timeless works of art and turns them into buildable pieces you can display in your house. This one has you piece together a gorgeously textured version of Monet’s famous painting, complete with a plastic wall mount so you can actually hang it on your wall.
There have been plenty of LEGO car sets, including some flashy new ones. But one of the most famous cars of all has been missing. No longer, because now you can build the car that made vehicle ownership possible for the middle class and helped shape the modern world. This set would look great as a display piece.
Four new LEGO Disney sets are out now, spearheaded by the fantastic Winnie the Pooh set. I just re-watched this movie with my kids, and despite being almost entirely plotless, it holds up brilliantly. The writing and acting are top notch, transporting you to the serene world of A.A. Milne’s creation. But the artwork, expertly re-created in LEGO bricks here, are what really draw you in.
All those sets above? Not even the full list. There are otters. There’s an orange cat. There are Fifa builds and vehicles that go on land and on the sea. There are flowers and Ninjagos. And even these ones aren’t all that came out this month. You can find the full list here. A word of warning: use the list wisely, because unless you’re a secret billionaire, your wallet can’t handle it all. Happy LEGO hunting.

Right at the end of Resident Evil Requiem, you’re presented with a choice to seal the fates of Grace and Leon. There are two options, and we trust that you chose wisely, because the outcome of one is certainly much less desirable than the other.
If you’d like to know about the ending you didn’t choose, you’re in the right place. In the video above, you can see both endings play out, and in the text below you can read how it all goes down. So let’s dive in and explain both of Requiem's conclusions.
Grace and Leon’s adventure brings them to Raccoon City, the place where all this Resident Evil mess began. While we all know that the NEST secret facility was hiding under the city, Requiem reveals that another lab lies beneath the infamous orphanage: the ARK. There, in the system’s computer files, Grace discovers an unpublished interview with Ozwell E. Spencer – Umbrella’s mastermind – conducted by her mom, journalist Alyssa Ashcroft.
The video reveals that Spencer was eventually remorseful for all the disasters he caused with Umbrella’s viral and bioweapon projects. His push to be a more decent human is shown by his adoption of a baby girl, Grace. Yes, Grace is just a regular girl, and not some genetic key to a virus as villains Zeno and Victor Gideon have suggested throughout the game. And if you pay close attention to Spencer’s wise words, you can read between the lines to work out that Elpis – the mysterious macguffin at the heart of Requiem – is not in fact a weapon, but the vaccine for bioweapons. And so when Grace is given the opportunity to release or destroy Elpis, it’s clear which is the right way to go.
When Grace releases the antiviral, it initially seems like a great result for Zeno – a lightning-fast, sunglasses-wearing, slick haired villain who isn’t actually Wesker, despite all appearances. He believes Elpis is the key to ultimate control, and so swiftly injects it. Unlucky for him, the fast-acting serum quickly cures his existing infections, erasing his Wesker mojo and robbing him of the ability to dodge bullets.
To make things worse for Zeno, an armless Victor Gideon – Requiem’s lead villain and a former member of Umbrella – arrives on the scene and claims that Spencer’s plan for Elpis was genius, as a world without virus-based weapons would surely descend into anarchy. Unsurprisingly, he’s very onboard with the idea of uncontained chaos. Zeno, who reveals his true masters to be The Connections (the secret evil corporation from Resident Evil 7 and Village), is angered by all this, but his rage is temporary: he’s quickly decapitated by a rapidly mutating Gideon.
With a boss fight clearly on the way, Grace gets to work on healing Leon – who throughout the game has been suffering from stage three T-Virus infection – with the Elpis antiviral so our hero can take on Victor. Leon makes swift work of Gideon, despite him now having the ability to wield electricity and tear apart flesh with his newly-mutated arm, although in predictable Resident Evil fashion, killing a final boss once just isn’t enough. Gideon mutates into a hulking monstrosity, finally pulling back the curtain on what exactly our not-quite-human villain is: a Nemesis.
After shooting a fair amount of pulsating biosack weak points and parrying strikes from tentacles, Gideon is finally defeated. And if that wasn’t Resident Evil enough for you, the entire ARK begins to collapse. With no way of escape, Leon and Grace conclude that they’re goners. But, just in the nick of time, Hound Wolf squad rappel in to save the day. Unfortunately, though, their captain – Resident Evil’s other big hero, Chris Redifeld, is nowhere to be seen.
With our protagonists finally safe, Leon informs his handler, Sherry Birkin, that the Elpis antiviral works, and that he has a dose with her name on it (it seems like everyone who was there for the Raccoon City incident is suffering from T-Virus infection). Grace, although free of all the chaos, can’t help but mourn the death of Emily, the young test subject she helped save from Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center before watching her mutate into a bioweapon monstrosity and then get gunned down by Leon. Thankfully, our crack-shot hero theorises she could still be alive because he “didn’t hit any of her vitals”. What a guy!
News reports confirm that every shady Umbrella secret is finally being exposed, including the true motivations behind the missile strike that obliterated Raccoon City in 1998. The Connections are also put on blast by conspiracy theorists, who claim the group is secretly controlling the government and are responsible for Alyssa’s death in an effort to cover up their wrongdoings.
If you opt to follow the “good” ending, there is a post credits scene. Set a little while after the events of the game, Grace is back working at her desk as an FBI analyst. A phone call between her and Leon revealed that Emily did survive and now lives with Grace, who is teaching her to read. A photo on Grace’s desk reveals that Emily regained her eyesight, presumably thanks to the restorative qualities of Elpis.
Oh, and if you take a close look at Grace’s phone, you can see Leon’s phone number displayed. It’s 266-555-0173, if you wanna give that a go. Hopefully Capcom didn’t dox our floppy-haired hero.
Grace’s boss arrives at her desk to demand her full report on the events that occurred in the ARK and their wider implications. The complete 60-page document is then made available to read in the bonus menu, confirming that this ending truly is Requiem’s canon conclusion.
In the final post-credit scene, back at ARK, shady soldiers wearing all black and gas masks declare that remaining BSAA forces have been neutralized, and they’re on their way to retrieve the “objective” before Wolf Squad arrives. This no doubt teases what The Connections have up their sleeves for the events of Resident Evil 10.
Should you make the mistake of not realising that Elpis is a cure, and decide to opt for the more traditional route of “destroy the thing that Umbrella made,” you’ll trigger Requiem’s bad ending. After typing in the destruction password, ARK begins to collapse, and Leon, being the hero that he is, springs into action, boosting Grace up to a higher platform so she can escape. Zeno, still loaded with Wesker powers, immediately kicks Leon’s arse, and then unceremoniously holds his gun’s barrel to Leon’s head and pulls the trigger. RIP.
Showing no urgency after Leon’s death, Zeno takes one last look at Grace as the platform collapses beneath him and plummets downwards, signalling his apparent end.
Grace, in shock and with no doubt a bit of survivor’s guilt, rides an elevator up to the surface, where she’s greeted by a rescue team.
And that’s it! There’s no fancy credits like in the good ending, and no post-credit scenes. The game just finishes. It truly is an anticlimactic bummer. Unsurprisingly, you’re immediately given the option to reload from the moment Grace chooses what to do with Elpis, allowing you to quickly get on with the canon ending.
As previously mentioned, completing the “good” ending unlocks Grace’s final report in Requiem’s bonus menu. This 60-page document details her findings and six decades of Umbrella activity, stretching back to the company’s establishment in 1968.
Two of the company’s co-founders, Ozwell E. Spencer and James Marcus, were ideologically opposed, which caused a number of issues in the direction of Umbrella’s research. While Spencer eventually demoted Marcus, things were already too far gone. The Connections, the shadowy group who Zeno works for, had been funneling funds to Marcus for years, while also placing moles within the company. By the 1990s, Spencer had lost much of his control of Umbrella, and had retreated to ARK to develop Elpis.
Elpis was created in secret, and so The Connections were only able to learn minor details through their network of moles. The only significant leak suggested Elpis had the potential to upset the military balance of the entire world, an idea The Connections interpreted to mean some kind of mind control virus. This was, of course, totally incorrect – Spencer’s creation was an antiviral that would render the world’s bioweapons impotent.
In an effort to secure Elpis, The Connections lobbied the US government to launch a missile at Raccoon City in the wake of the original T-Virus outbreak – not to prevent the virus’ spread, but to disrupt the relationship between Umbrella and the U.S. government. By influencing the subsequent criminal trial against Spencer, The Connections ensured he took all the blame for the outbreak, which in turn led to the dissolving of Umbrella. The Connections could then step in and claim the company’s assets, putting them in control of Elpis. All they then had to do was unlock its safeguard system – a task that led them to Grace, Spencer’s adoptive daughter and, as far as they were concerned, the key to releasing the greatest bioweapon of all.
Grace theorises that Spencer’s motivations for Elpis were peace and redemption for the many horrors he was responsible for. Not that such a goal could stop The Connections, seemingly the real power behind the world’s problems, from turning the ruins of Raccoon City into a hub for the production and distribution of bioweapons. She concludes that it’s the FBI’s role to investigate The Connections, who largely remain a mystery, and bring justice to those who have died because of their actions – something that will presumably take us into the story of Resident Evil 10.

Martin Scorsese was remaking Cape Fear and Kenneth Branagh was adapting Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - both starring Robert De Niro. Hell, even Jack Nicholson played a werewolf. Yes, before A24's "elevated horror" there was '90s "prestige horror." So do yourself a favor and check ou the truly excellent King adaptation (from back when those were few and far between), Misery.
Based on Jo Nesbø's bestselling crime novels, this new Detective Hole series follows the brilliant crimestopper as he hunts killers while fighting his own demons.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a new take on the classic LEGO game formula, doesn't launch until May 29. Luckily, to hold over all you ravenous Batfans out there, there are a handful of new LEGO sets you can buy that not only look great on your bookshelves lined with your favorite Batman comics, but come with some pretty awesome, unique digital download codes you can use in the game. What do you get with the download code after scanning the QR code in the instructions? Well, it wouldn't be a LEGO Batman game without a ton of optional skins, and you'll get some fancy gold minifigure and Batmobile skins for your trouble.
There are four of these new sets are available starting on March 1, each of which can be purchased via Amazon or through LEGO directly.
Check out detailed breakdowns of each new set below. The three Batmobile sets each celebrate different eras of iconic Batman films (minus the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale era, which I am personally bummed about) and will run you $29.99. Each one is a faithful recreation of their onscreen counterparts, complete with a minifigure of that Batmobile's respective Batman.
Of the four available sets with digital bonuses for the game, the Batman Logo is an intricate-looking build made up of 678 pieces that stands fairly tall. It comes with a classic black-suited Batman, as well as a special gold Batman minifigure to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of our favorite Caped Crusader in brick form. The skin you'll get in-game from this set is the gold minifigure.
The Ben Affleck Batmobile is probably the most different out of any iteration of the car we've seen over the years, but it's still a pretty cool design nonetheless. At 220 pieces, it's the smallest of the bunch, but the plated armor details and Batman v Superman minifigure it comes with make up for it. You'll get a gold version of this Batmobile with the digital download code.
I'm partial to the Robert Pattinson version from The Batman -- this Batmobile is a less exaggerated version of the car we all grew up with, and I love the all-black and off-road-like design. Redeeming the code from this set gets you a gold skin of the Pattinson's Batmobile in the game. This one is 330 pieces, the highest brick count of the three.
For you classic Batman fans, the George Clooney Batmobile from Batman & Robin is a 272-piece recreation of that film's vehicle. The red accents on the side are a nice added touch, but sadly the Batman minifigure does not include the infamous Batnipples. And like the other two sets, the digital download code nets you a gold version of this car.
If you haven't been following along with IGN Fan Fest, we've had the opportunity to get some exclusive new looks at some more LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight gameplay, where we've learned you can play as Catwoman. Both the Standard and Deluxe editions are available to preorder from all major retailers now before it launches May 29, and you can choose to reserve your copy for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for release later on this year. By preordering any version of the game, you'll receive the Dark Knight Returns Batsuit skin.
