#Bingewatch: your #TV #show guide for March 18th – 24th

'Sup bingewatcher! Last week was absolutely crazy with some off-the-wall TV gems, a couple of returning classics, and whatever the hell Love, Death and Robots was. As we move deeper into 2019 and start to accept the swift passage of time and constant torment of our own impending mortality, the TV season is really starting to heat up now networks are pulling out their big players. Big-budget action thrillers like 9-1-1 are making their return this week, as well as some long-standing comedy faves, and some new contenders to the TV throne. We've got our eyes on The Village, which is shaping up to be every bit as emotionally draining as NBC's previous winner, This is Us. We've also got the Queen of indie science fiction, Brit Marling, making her return with The OA season 2, proving she's truly the Captain Marvel of introspective, mumblecore sci-fi. Plus, we gotta talk about how Pretty Little Liars still won't shut up and go away after all these years. Hey, maybe it'll be a guilty pleasure to watch when Riverdale takes a break. Check out our list below and mark your calendars, cause this week's a doozy!

9-1-1 (Fox)

Original air date Jan. 3rd, 2018. Season 2 returns Mondays from Mar. 18th, 2019. This thrilling first-response drama led by a star cast that includes Angela Bassett (Black Panther) and Connie Britton (American Horror Story) successfully balances the intense and traumatic work by on-scene paramedics, police, and firefighters with their personal lives, family trouble, and romance, when they have time for it. Originally Fox; later moved to ABC. Renewed for season 10 premiering fall 2026.

The Fix (ABC)

Airs Mondays from Mar. 18th, 2019. Yet another glossy crime procedural about a troubled protagonist with a haunted past, this time with some true-to-life inspiration. Here Robin Tunney portrays an LA prosecutor who moves to Oregon after losing a high-profile murder case. However, when the celebrity killer strikes again, she drops everything to prove herself capable and the offender guilty. Inspired by the author and prosecutor Marcia Clark, who led the prosecution in the infamous OJ Simpson murder trial. Canceled after single season.

The Jim Jefferies Show (Comedy Central)

Original air date June 6th, 2017. Season 3 airs Tuesdays from Mar. 19th, 2019. Loud-mouthed Australian comic Jim Jefferies offers a slightly more sordid alternative to John Oliver's topical comedy show. Tackling all the world's most controversial topics, Jefferies brings his sarcastic and informed perspective to the most touchy trending political issues. Ended November 19 2019.

Tosh.0 (Comedy Central)

Original air date June 4th, 2009. Season 11 airs Tuesdays from Mar. 19th, 2019. Delightfully low-brow comedy commentary show hosted by Daniel Tosh, who brings his signature dark sense of humor to fresh and funny takes on the latest internet trends, memes, and viral videos.

The Village (NBC)

Airs Tuesdays from Mar. 19th, 2019. The network's first answer to This Is Us as reviews for the previously critically acclaimed misery machine finally start turning stale. In this new drama series, a tower block in Brooklyn offers microcosmic insight into city life, as a community of families and friends build relationships and have their spirits tested by new arrivals and challenging revelations. Get ready for lesser-known stars such as Warren Christie, Moran Atias, and Michaela McManus to suddenly start guest starring on all your fave shows, as NBC could very well have another tear-jerking hit on their hands. Canceled May 2019 after season 1.

The Act (Hulu)

Available on Hulu from Mar. 20th, 2019. A new true crime anthology series teeters the line between effective biopic thriller and the definition of "too soon." The first season is set to adapt the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard, who was murdered in 2015 by her daughter, Gypsy, after inflicting her with mental abuse and manipulation. Originally outlined in the documentary Mommy, Dead and Dearest, this adaptation stars Patricia Arquette (Boyhood) and Joey King (The Conjuring), with supporting roles taken by Chloë Sevigny (Russian Doll) and AnnaSophia Robb (The Carrie Diaries). Has every chance of portraying a complex crime with all the nuance of a trashy airport crime novel, so color us intrigued for how this turns out.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists (Freeform)

Airs Wednesdays from Mar. 20th, 2019. Just when you thought it was over and all the loose ends have been tied up, the Rosewood girls are back two years later for another series of convoluted mysteries and a generous helping of steamy romance.

Duane Adler and Anne Fletcher's Step Up series started all the way back in 2006 with Channing Tatum and, believe it or not, it's still going strong. The series follows an ensemble of newcomers and talented dancers who attend the cutthroat Atlanta dance school, High Water. As they navigate the brutal world of modern performing arts they'll have to make endless sacrifices as the class of potential stars realize how deep they'll need to dig to make it to the big time.

Marling stars as Prairie Johnson, a young blind woman who remerges after a seven year disappearance. Now calling herself "The OA", she's sporting a pattern of scars on her back and her sight has inexplicably returned, though she refuses to cooperate with anyone outside of five specially chosen individuals whom she drip feeds information. After such a long wait, we've got a huge list of questions we're praying get answered. Canceled 2019; two seasons total.

True Crime Resurgence in 2026

Delhi Crime received a season 3 in late 2025 and similar genre shows continue to dominate streaming. The series has three seasons total as of 2026, with the latest installment premiering November 13 2025 on Netflix. Audiences keep returning to real-life investigations that expose systemic failures and push for reform. Streaming platforms have leaned into these stories because they combine procedural tension with social urgency. Delhi Crime stands out for its focus on the victims and the investigators who refuse to let the case fade. The renewed interest mirrors a broader pattern where true crime keeps finding new audiences each year.

9-1-1 Franchise Expansion

The long-running procedural has evolved into a multi-show universe with a Nashville spinoff renewed for 2026-27. 9-1-1 was renewed for season 10 on ABC for fall 2026. 9-1-1: Nashville was renewed for season 2. What began as a single Fox drama now stretches across two cities and multiple casts, each handling its own emergencies while sharing the same high-stakes DNA. The move to ABC opened doors for bigger crossovers and more consistent scheduling. Fans track the franchise the way they once followed prestige cable, checking episode counts and renewal announcements like they were tracking box office numbers. The Nashville edition keeps the formula fresh by swapping LA traffic for Southern heat and new team dynamics.

Cancelled 2019 Dramas That Defined the Era

Multiple short-lived 2019 entries like The Village and The Perfectionists illustrate the era's high cancellation rate for new dramas. The Village was canceled after 1 season. Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists was canceled after 1 season. Networks rolled out emotional ensemble shows hoping to capture the This Is Us audience, then pulled the plug when numbers dipped. The Village tried to map an entire apartment building's worth of stories onto network TV. The Perfectionists carried the Rosewood legacy into college but never found enough viewers to justify another round. Both shows left behind strong casts and loyal pockets of fans who still revisit the single seasons on streaming.

Comedy Central's Shift Away from Live-Action

Both Jim Jefferies Show and Tosh.0 ended around 2019-2020 as the network pivoted to animation. The Jim Jefferies Show ended November 2019. Tosh.0 ended after season 12 in 2020. Comedy Central once built entire evenings around stand-up hosts and viral video takedowns. As the late-night landscape changed and streaming ate into traditional viewership, the network leaned harder into animated series that could rerun endlessly and travel across platforms. Live-action talk formats required weekly production teams and constant headline chasing. Animation offered repeatable laughs without the same overhead. The endings marked the close of an era when topical comedy still lived comfortably on basic cable.

Whether you're catching up on the procedural universe, revisiting a canceled drama, or diving into the true crime wave that still dominates bingewatch lists, this March slate offers a snapshot of how quickly shows rise and disappear. The 2019 lineup reminds us that even the most hyped premieres can end after one season, while certain franchises keep expanding years later. Keep an eye on what's renewed, what's streaming, and what might quietly vanish before next year's guide drops.
