Netflix has confirmed that a slew of new original series will be debuting on the streaming service in March. There will also be new to Netflix seasons of some of your favorites from other networks. Likewise, there will be plenty of movies making their first Netflix appearances including the reboot of “Ghostbusters” and all the films in the “Cruel Intentions” franchise.

Of the new Netflix originals, several stand out as particularly binge-worthy, including the sophomore seasons of the Marvel series “Jessica Jones,” the Drew Barrymore laffer “Santa Clarita Diet,” and “A Series of Unfortunate Events.” And there are episodes of both the new David Letterman and Joel Hale talk shows as well as a comedy special from Ricky Gervais.

As time marches on and tedium vitae sets in more and more with each passing day, we find ourselves with fewer ways to distract ourselves from the encroaching existential malaise. But wait — what’s that you say? All three “Cruel Intentions” movies are coming to Netflix next month? Maybe it’s not so bad after all.

Yes, dear reader, the benevolent streaming gods have once again announced the titles that we’ll be able to watch from the comfort of our own fainting couches once this month gives way to the next, and it isn’t just Sarah Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe who will be keeping us company.

Some other titles that will make their way onto many viewers’ lists and maybe even be watched include “Adventureland,” “Casino,” “The Descent,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Ghostbusters,” “Jackass: Number Two” (two words: butt chug), “Let Me In,” “Moon,” “Revolutionary Road,” and “Wet Hot American Summer.
