Clint Eastwood's Mystic River meets Big Little Lies in Apple's latest psychological thriller. In Imperfect Women, three women who have been friends for years are forced to confront devastating truths following a shocking murder.

Based on the novel of the same name, the limited series features a star-studded cast that includes Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, Kate Mara, and Joel Kinnaman.

Bait

  • Release date: Wednesday, March 25
  • Where to watch: Prime Video

Oscar-nominated actor Riz Ahmed serves as both creator and star of Bait, Amazon Prime Video's new comedy series. He plays Shah Latif, a struggling actor in London who is going through an existential crisis. The series chronicles four chaotic days in Shah's life as he tries to score the role of a lifetime: James Bond.

The trailer hints at an anxiety-inducing dramedy driven by paranoia, conspiracies, and increasingly over-the-top situations. Since acquiring the rights to the 007 franchise, Amazon hasn't wasted any time. Bait offers a wild spin on the hunt for the next James Bond, satirizing the casting frenzy with a playfully self-aware tone. All six episodes on Prime Video on March 25.

It's a big month for Yellowstone fans, as March brings the release of two new Taylor Sheridan shows, including a spinoff in Marshals, which picks up where the original series left off.
