Each and every TV show and movie premiering on Netflix this week
It's another great week in March, and the waves of new content continue to roll out on Netflix. There's another massive helping of new movies and TV shows on Netflix this week, including the romantic comedy "Irish Wish."
"Irish Wish" is a hotly anticipated new romcom from Lindsay Lohan. When editor Maddie (Lohan) finds out that her best friend is marrying who she thinks is her soulmate, she makes a wish on a mysterious stone and becomes the bride-to-be instead. Except there's just one problem: that guy isn't actually her soulmate after all.
There's also "Young Royals" season 3, which puts Simon and Wilhelm's relationship front and center as it seems their public relationship may be what gives them the hope to go on. Elsewhere, Sara has a chance to expose August's involvement in a certain steamy sex tape scandal — and it could come at odds with Simon and Wilhelm's fleeting happiness.
But if you thought that was all, we're about to blow your mind. There's so much more than that to dive into on the streaming platform. To check out the rest of what's coming to the service, don't miss our complete day-by-day rundown of what's new on Netflix this week below.
