All the Jewish TV Coming March in 2026

March is going to be a pretty serious month for Jewish TV shows and documentaries, and for some of our favorite Jewish TV stars.

It’s only right — the month begins with Purim and will end just as we’re finishing up our preparations for Passover, which starts the evening of April 1.

So what do us Jewish TV lovers have to look forward to? Not one, but two biblical shows, including one about the matriarchs brought to us by incredible Jewish women producers. There’s the TV return of one of Lisa Kudrow’s best characters. We’re getting a documentary about a late Jewish Red Hot Chili Peppers member who helped make the band a sensation. Oh, and if that’s not enough (dayenu!), we’re also getting a punny, funny and healing comedy special from the Roastmaster himself, Jeff Ross.

Get ready to mark your calendars, because this is the Jewish TV coming your way in March 2026:

March 5: “Vladimir” (Netflix) 

There’s nothing Jewish about the subject matter of this new show, based on the Julia May Jonas best-selling novel about a middle-aged female professor who falls in the thrall of a young man named Vladimir (Leo Woodall) after her husband, a fellow professor (John Slattery), gets accused of sexual harassment. But it does star one of the best Jewish actresses of all time — Rachel Weisz. Jewish actor Miriam Silverman plays fellow professor Florence.

March 5: “Asfur” season 2 (Izzy)

The title of this show, from creative team Hanan Savyon and Guy Amir (Netflix’s “Bros”), means “bird” in Arabic, and it tells the story of four friends on a mission to get back the abandoned farm they were living on. The second season of this show, which originally premiered in Israel, stars a pre-“Wonder Woman” Gal Gadot as Kika, an Israeli expat and coffee shop owner who starts a relationship with one of the friends, Itzik (Oz). It’s premiering on the Israeli TV content platform Izzy this month.

March 7: “Nuremberg” (Netflix)

This 2025 film is based on Jewish author Jack El-Hai’s book “The Nazis and the Psychiatrist.” Rami Malek plays Lt Col. Douglas Kelley, an army psychiatrist charged with evaluating prominent Nazis, including Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) and Rudolf Hess (Andreas Pietschmann), ahead of the famous Nuremberg trials.

March 8: “Rooster” (HBO Max) 

This is just a courtesy Robby Hoffman alert: The beloved Jewish comedian guest stars in this upcoming, not very Jewish Steve Carell show (not to be confused with his very Jewish show “The Patient”), in a yet unnamed role. “Rooster” tells the story of a dad trying to help his daughter after her college teaching career implodes, only to find himself a college professor himself. The trailer features “I Want to Get Better” from Jewish music maven Jack Antonoff’s band, Bleachers.

March 11: “Scarpetta” (Prime Video)

Inspired by the Patricia Cornwell crime thriller series of the same name, this show stars Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scrapetta, a forensic pathologist and chief medical examiner. Her sister is played by none other than beloved Jewish star, Jamie Lee Curtis. Any TV show with Curtis is one I’m not passing up watching.

“The Comeback” Season 3 (March 22, HBO)

Jewish “Friends'” actor Lisa Kudrow is finally back as former hit sitcom star Valerie Cherish in the last season of “The Comeback.” Kudrow has played many an iconic role (including non-comedic ones, like the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor in “No Good Deed”), but Cherish may be one of my personal favorites. In this new season, Valerie is starring in a new sitcom — written by AI, of course. Dan Bucatinsky returns as her intrepid publicist, and Laura Silverman returns as the director of “The Comeback,” the documentary that follows Cherish’s attempted re-rise to fame. Abbi Jacobson stars as one of the actual human co-writers of the show. And Fran Drescher makes a cameo as SAG-Aftra’s (now former!) president, in what appears to be a reference to the union’s famous strike. 

Judaism rating: 2/4 couch potato latkes for the sheer magnitude of Jewish stars.

March 15: The 98th Academy Awards (Hulu)

This is your chance to catch up on the Oscar-nominated movies ahead of the Academy Awards. Watch the very Jewish “Marty Supreme,” nominated for multiple awards, including best actor for Timothée Chalamet. “One Battle After Another” features a scene inspired by the feelings of Maya Rudolph’s adorable Jewish father. Or watch “Song Sung Blue,” whose star, Kate Hudson, nominated for best actress, is also a challah-baking master.

March 17: “On the Spectrum” (ChaiFlicks)

This critically acclaimed Israeli show, which also has a Prime Video adaptation, “As We See It,” used to stream on HBO Max. It’s now going to be available on the Jewish streaming platform ChaiFlicks. The show follows three adults with autism who move in together.

March 18: “The Nanny” (Hulu)

We couldn’t not tell you that “The Nanny” will be streaming on Hulu this month. Time to rewatch all the show’s best Jewish episodes.

Judaism rating: 5/4 couch potato latkes. I mean, it’s “The Nanny,” people!

March 20: “The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel” (Netflix) 

Did you know that one of the original members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was born in Haifa, Israel, and was the son of Holocaust survivors? Hillel Slovak, who got his first guitar as a bar mitzvah present, first met the band’s founding members, Anthony Kiedis, Flea and Jack Irons, at Fairfax High School, where they formed the band What Is This? He co-wrote five of the songs from the Chili Peppers’ debut album and recorded its second and third albums with them before dying from a heroin overdose in 1988. Their hit song “Otherside” is one of the many musical tributes written by the band to Slovak, who was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 

This documentary explores the band’s early formative years and Hillel’s lasting influence on the group that changed rock and roll history.

March 22: “The Faithful” (Fox)

This new series tells the stories of Jewish women from the bible, and it’s first season focuses on the four biblical matriarchs: Sarah, Rebecca, Leah and Rachel, and also Hagar, Sarah’s handmaid. Sarah, Abraham’s long suffering wife, is played by British-American film legend Minnie Driver. The show is almost exclusively helmed by women, including its two executive producers, Carol Mendelsohn and Julie Weitz, who both were raised in (very different) Jewish households and for whom this has been an absolute dream project. 

Judaism rating: 4/4 couch potato latkes.

March 24: “Jeff Ross: Take A Banana For The Ride” (Netflix) 

I laughed and cried while watching this supremely Jewish show on Broadway last year, from “Roastmast” Jeff Ross, and I’m so excited for streaming audiences to see it. It’s an ode to Jewish family and Jewish friends and Jewish resilience, and even features a delightful karaoke-style song titled “Don’t F-ck with the Jews.” 

Judaism rating: 4/4 couch potato latkes.

March 27: “House of David” season 2 (Prime Video)

The second season of this biblical epic, which features multiple Jewish actors — like “Shtisel” star Ayelet Zurer and “Star Trek: Discovery” star Oded Fehr — first became available to Wonder Project subscribers in October of last year, and will now be available to the rest of Prime Video subscribers. “House of David,” which tells the story of the famed Jewish king, has gotten mixed reviews, but has been praised for some of its portrayal of Jewish traditions. The show takes some liberties with its biblical storytelling and David’s story, including imagining his mother as a gentile women. It does, however, feature some pretty beautiful Hebrew singing.

Judaism rating: 3.5/4 couch potato latkes.
