MOVIE NEWS – CANAL+ is once again leaning into the “everything in one place” idea: weekly series drops, films, documentaries, and live sports under one roof. The selection is broad, but it’s concrete – there are new episodes to follow, a full Stallone marathon, fresh factual programming, and a sports calendar that’s starting to heat up.
For series fans, Spartacus: Ashur háza (recommendation here) is a notable new addition, digging into a darker, more intrigue-heavy corner of the universe and pushing a familiar but previously secondary character into the spotlight. Episodes arrive week by week in the app, so it plays more like a steady rollout than a binge drop.
If you prefer Mediterranean crime with atmosphere, Makari – Szicíliai rejtélyek continues with weekly new episodes. The sunlit backdrop and the protagonist’s personal dilemmas balance each other, and the show is as interested in Sicily’s everyday texture as it is in the cases. The investigations repeatedly force the lead to confront his own past and uncomfortable moral questions. Lighter beats and slow-building mysteries shape the overall rhythm.
There’s also a clear excuse for a movie marathon: all Rocky films (recommendation here) are available for anyone in the Stallone mood. The boxer’s story plays as more than a sports series – it’s built around persistence, resets, and the grind of beating yourself before you beat anyone else. Across the installments, Rocky Balboa moves from underdog challenger to a figure people look up to, with the training montages and big fights doing the heavy lifting.
Horror fans get Longlegs – A rém, a film that borrows the atmosphere of classic serial-killer thrillers but avoids cheap, constant jump scares. The tension is designed to thicken gradually into psychological dread. As the investigation advances, darker details surface, while the story circles questions of faith, obsession, and what “evil” actually looks like when it’s not a costume.
Factual and nature programming in focus
There’s plenty for viewers who lean toward science and nature. In the Love Nature library, Korallváros highlights the spectacle of a hidden world, while Túlélő fenevadak explores social dynamics and survival strategies in the animal kingdom. From BBC Earth, Királyság (Kingdom) airs on the channel and is also available to catch up in the app, using strong visuals to map natural hierarchies, while A büszkeség törvénye and Makisziget bandái offer sharper, sometimes surprising snapshots of daily life in the wild.
Costume drama for readers
For period drama and literature-inspired storytelling, Epic Drama adds A Forsyte család. The series is adapted from the novel cycle by Nobel Prize-winning author John Galsworthy, following a wealthy family across generations in turn-of-the-century England. It aims for elegance on the surface, but the real engine is emotion, ambition, and the conflicts that accumulate over time.
Other adaptations and related documentaries also sit in the CANAL+ mix, including Egy tiszta nő, Az éjszaka gyémántja, and Mozart: Egy zseni története. The common thread is that the historical dressing is used to foreground human stakes – desire, compromise, and moral pressure.
A limited-time partnership
CANAL+ NOW subscribers will soon get access to FEM3: from March 8 to 31, the channel’s full schedule is available in the app free of charge, with no package change required. The point is simple: FEM3 programming becomes available anywhere, anytime, without an extra fee during the window.
On the opening weekend, titles such as Szex és New York and Csajok háborúja arrive. From March 9, a refreshed prime-time lineup includes episodes of Lakásvadászok, Hogyan készül? Megmutatjuk!, and Kastélyból álomotthon.
Formula 1 returns
Live sport remains a key part of the package. Football fans can follow major matches from the knockout stages of international competitions, while the new Formula-1 season also gets underway – the annual collision of engineering, strategy, and human limits. On CANAL+’s sports channels, this is typically where the schedule starts getting intense.
What’s on CANAL+ Action
CANAL+ Action runs action films, thrillers, and genre staples around the clock, and the same titles are also available in the CANAL+ library for anyone who prefers on-demand. Among the arrivals is season two of Az arany, continuing the fallout from a notorious British heist. The French true-crime-inspired Az évszázad csalása also comes through, focusing on the mechanics of a massive financial con and the power games around it. One of the month’s bigger action picks is Morbius, which leans into the darker end of the Marvel universe, framing an antihero story as a mix of sci-fi, thriller, and drama.
More March releases on the way
Looking ahead, A lelkedbe látok is positioned as a series built on psychological tension and mystical elements, while Zúzógép promises a louder, more kinetic ride with Dwayne Johnson. If that’s your lane, older titles are also available in the catalog, including Erőpróba and Családi bunyó.
Season one of Engedetlen hősök is already available in the app, and a follow-up is said to be on the way, aimed at pushing the character conflicts further. Overall, CANAL+’s practical advantage is still the same: films, series, documentaries, sports, and live TV in one application – what matters is which slice of that mix you actually use.
