HBO Now March Highlights, Including The Final Season Of ‘Veep’

HBO is ushering in spring with a handful of returning favorites and even more blockbusters — enough content to give you a month’s worth of excuses for avoiding outdoor barbecues, family reunions, and all of the other socially-accepted activities that come with warmer weather. Veep is saying goodbye after seven seasons with a final Presidential run for Selina Meyer while Bill Hader’s dark comedy returns for more acting lessons and assassination attempts. On the blockbuster side, we’ve got a Mamma Mia sequel to look forward to and a Jurassic World follow-up that (fingers-crossed) Chris Pratt’s character doesn’t totally screw the pooch on.

Here’s a roundup of everything coming to (and leaving) HBO this March.

Barry (season 2 premiere)

Bill Hader’s dark comedy series is back for round two. Season one saw Barry (Hader) traveling to Los Angeles and getting swept up in the acting scene. His no-nonsense acting coach (a brilliant Henry Winkler) convinced him to take his talents to the stage. That’s a problem, seeing as the former military-man-turned-assassin has more than a few enemies hunting him. Season two picks up with Barry — who may or may not have killed a detective — squaring off with the Bolivian mafia and his old frenemy.

Veep (season 7 premiere)

Veep’s final season is nearly upon us and if you thought the Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led comedy would go out with a whimper, not a bang, you just don’t know Selina Meyer. The former President is looking for a way back to the Oval Office via a constitutional loophole, but to earn the nomination (again) she has to beat a surprising foe, Jonah Ryan (Timothy Simons).

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

The sequel Mamma Mia fans didn’t know they wanted lands on HBO this month. The original cast including Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, and yes, Meryl f*cking Streep return. They’re joined by some refreshing new additions, most notably Lily James as a young Donna and Cher as Donna’s absentee mother. James carries this thing, taking us through the beginnings of her relationships with Sophie’s dads while Sophie (Seyfried) tries to carry on her legacy in the present.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Chris Pratt takes a break from helping Thanos destroy the galaxy to reprise his role in this sequel to the massively popular Jurassic World. Three years after the event of the first film, Owen (Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) return to the island to save the dinosaurs stranded there before a catastrophic event wipes them out. If you don’t mind seeing sweet, gentle Brachiosauruses die, this movie’s for you. Also, you’re a monster.
