From the ‘Tomb Raider’ reboot to ‘MobLand’ (Season 2), discover the hottest films and TV shows currently in production across the UK and Ireland this March.
We may only be a couple of months into the year, but we’ve already been gifted with a number of outstanding films and TV shows. From the BBC’s recent adaptation of Lord of the Flies to Emerald Fennel’s steamy big-screen thriller Wuthering Heights, it’s going to take more than the slowly improving weather to tear us away from our screens.
While we’re enjoying all this top-class entertainment, let’s take a look at what future productions are in the works in March 2026.
‘The Housekeeper’
Casting by Sarah Crowe, CDG.
From director Richard Eyre, whose previous work includes The Children Act and Allelujah, The Housekeeper tells the fictionalised tale behind the inspiration for Daphne Du Maurier’s ‘Rebecca’.
Spotlight members Sir Anthony Hopkins and Caitríona Balfe will lead the cast, supported by Helena Bonham Carter and Emma Laird.
Set against a brooding Cornish backdrop, the film will follow ‘Danni’ (Balfe), the housekeeper of Manderville Hall and its widowed owner, Lord DeWithers (Hopkins), as he becomes fascinated by their visitor, the beautiful author Du Maurier (Laird).
Currently filming on location in Cornwall, The Housekeeper doesn’t yet have a release date.

As well as the exciting news that Turner will be leading the cast in this epic adventure series, it was announced that Phoebe Waller-Bridge – whose previous writing successes include Fleabag and No Time To Die – will be writing and directing. Although the plot is still under wraps, other names in the cast include Spotlight members Jason Isaacs and Celia Imrie and Hollywood legend Sigourney Weaver.

Pierce Brosnan and Spotlight member Helen Mirren star alongside Hardy, as well as Spotlight members Joanne Froggatt, Anson Boon and Paddy Considine.
