What is coming up on FX in March 2026?

In March 2026, FX is headlined by the continuation of the prestige anthology series Love Story, which explores the tragic romance of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy; new episodes air every Thursday night (March 5, 12, 19, and 26) following its high-profile February premiere. While the network is between major scripted returns—with Shōgun Season 2 having just started production in Vancouver for a 2027 release—the "FX on Hulu" hub remains a primary draw for viewers catching up on the complete fourth season of The Bear. Horror fans are currently focused on the buzz surrounding American Horror Story Season 13, as news of John Waters joining the "Coven-reunion" cast breaks this month ahead of its scheduled Halloween premiere. The linear channel’s weekend schedule is anchored by the "FX Blockbuster" series, featuring 4K-upscaled airings of modern staples like The Batman and Deadpool & Wolverine, while late-night blocks continue to showcase the final season of What We Do in the Shadows and the critically acclaimed library of Atlanta.

FX on Hulu: An Explainer

While FX remains a powerhouse of cable television, its partnership with Hulu has fundamentally changed how viewers access its content. Under the "FX on Hulu" branding (now often simply organized as an FX hub within the Hulu app), the network operates a two-tier system. First, there are FX Originals—high-profile shows like American Horror Story or Fargo that premiere on the linear cable channel and then become available to stream on Hulu, typically at 3:01 AM ET the following day. Second, there are Hulu Exclusives produced by FX. These prestige series, such as The Bear, Shōgun, and Reservation Dogs, are developed by the FX team but never air on the traditional cable channel; they are available strictly via a Hulu subscription. For fans, this means a standard Hulu account acts as a "digital DVR" for cable hits while providing exclusive access to some of the network’s most critically acclaimed modern masterpieces.
