What To Watch This Week: Mar 9-15, 2026

Rooster (HBO Max, Mar 9)

The latest comedy from Ted Lasso and Shrinking co-creator Bill Lawrence stars Steve Carell as a novelist invited as a guest lecturer to a liberal arts college where his professor daughter (Charly Clive) is navigating a personal crisis. The 10-part series also stars Scrubs MVP John C McGinley and Terrace House: Aloha State alum Lauren Tsai.

Scarpetta (Prime Video, Mar 11)

Not the Italian restaurant on Amoy Street but a new crime series starring Nicole Kidman as a medical examiner drawn to a grisly murder case in her hometown. Based on Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling book series. Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana DeBose, and Simon Baker.

Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere (Netflix, Mar 11)

Gonzo journalist (and Singapore-born) Louis Theroux survived Scientology — his 2015 HBO documentary is a must-see — and now, for his first Netflix feature-length docu, he’s tackling something arguably scarier: the Manosphere. There, self-appointed ‘alphas’ — including Harrison Sullivan aka HS Tikky Tokky, Myron Gaines and Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy aka Sneako — spread online misogyny and feed young men warped views of masculinity and feminism.

Zootopia 2 (Disney+, Mar 12)

Disney’s hit sequel — the highest-grossing Hollywood animated feature of 2025 with US$1.7 billion (S$2.16 bil) worldwide — sees rookie cops Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) chasing down a mysterious Gary De’Snake (Ke Huy Quan). The movie is also up for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars on Mar 16.

Dynasty: The Murdochs (Netflix, Mar 13)

Suffering from Succession withdrawal? Here’s the cure: a four-part documentary examining the real-life power struggles within the family of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose corporate manoeuvrings and in-house feuds reportedly inspired the HBO hit. The difference: the stakes are far higher. As one observer puts it: “It’s like a family squabble on steroids that has a huge effect on our politics and our lives.”
