The pipeline of Universal Pictures films heading to Netflix US continues under a new deal brought forward. Thanks to the Pay 1 Window arrangement shared between Peacock and Netflix, we can confirm nobody 2, anemoneand dearest Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale The plan is for everyone to leave this coming March.
For those unfamiliar with how Universal movies come to Netflix, it’s all based on a deal struck in 2024, which was originally supposed to debut in 2027, but will debut much earlier than originally planned. For Universal’s slate, films typically debut in theaters, move to Peacock for an exclusive four-month window, and then move to Netflix for a 10-month window. This kind of deal has already been in place for several years for animation, but now it’s transitioned to live-action titles.
Now, looking ahead to next month, we have three major titles confirmed to be making the switch from Peacock to Netflix.
Here is a list of Universal movies coming to Netflix US in March 2026.

Theatrical release date: 12 September 2025
Coming to Netflix: 7 March 2026
Prepare your tea; The Crawleys are making their final effort on Netflix.
Marketed as the third and final film of the franchise, grand finale It serves as the final conclusion to the saga that began on ITV and PBS a decade earlier. Written by Julian Fellowes and directed by Simon Curtis, the film brings back the entire central cast, including Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern and Michelle Dockery.
Perhaps most exciting to fans was the return of Paul Giamatti as Harold Levinson (Cora’s brother), who created some of the film’s best friction with the British aristocracy. It’s an emotional farewell that grossed more than $180 million worldwide last fall, and it’s likely to dominate Netflix’s Top 10 chart come mid-month.
nobody 2
Theatrical release date: 15 August 2025
Coming to Netflix: 14 March 2026
Bob Odenkirk is back as Hutch Mansell, and if you thought the bus fight in the first film was intense, just wait until you see what director Timo Tjahjanto has prepared for the sequel.
Following the events of the 2021 sleeper hit, nobody 2 sees Hutch try to keep his past buried while facing a new threat from a sinister international cartel. The sequel brought back Christopher Lloyd and RZA along with new villain Sharon Stone.
The film performed well at the summer box office last year, proving that the “dad-action” genre is still very much alive. If you missed seeing it in theaters or during its Peacock run, it’s a perfect Friday night watch for Netflix subscribers.

The first film was a massive hit on Netflix and remained in the global top 10 for several weeks. With Sam Rockwell and Marc Maron reprising their voice roles, it’s expected to dominate the kids and family charts over the Easter break.
