Sunday is going to launch us straight into March, and Netflix is ensuring a sweaty start to spring with the most iconic erotic trilogy landing in its US library, Fifty Shades.

With all that’s scheduled to drop on the first of the month, the film trilogy based on EL James’s Fifty Shades trilogy, including Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker, and Fifty Shades Freed, is officially making itself at home on Netflix.

It’s safe to say that your weekend watchlist just got an upgrade, since with the entire trilogy available starting March 1st, you can finally opt for a seamless franchise marathon.

Fifty Shades of Grey serves as the first instalment of the film series, which introduces Anastasia “Ana” Steele and Christian Grey to the world. As a naïve college senior, Ana interviews enigmatic billionaire Grey, only to get swept up in his charm. The tension between them eventually evolves into a romantic relationship where Christian initiates Ana into his wild world.

Fifty Shades Darker marks the second instalment in the franchise, which sees the return of Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, followed by the rekindling of their romantic relationship after their breakup. With Christian finally agreeing to her terms of rules, it almost feels like this might be the fairy tale they had both been seeking until ghosts of Grey’s past resurface.

Lastly, directed by James Foley, Fifty Shades Freed is the third and final instalment, which follows newlyweds Grey and Steele as their European honeymoon is cut short due to a security breach at Christian’s headquarters. However, this time around, the threat is not from Grey’s past but from Ana’s, setting the stage for a suspenseful ride.

What adds to the frenzy of this franchise marathon is the buzzing soundtrack featuring artists like The Weeknd, Beyoncé, and Ellie Goulding, which makes it easy to relive these moody, cinematic moments that defined pop culture in the mid-2010s.

Considering the cult following of Fifty Shades since its box office release, the enthusiasm is likely to influence its streaming availability, possibly placing the series on Netflix’s top ten charts, with more than one entry trending at a time. However, that’s only possible if more of you know and make the most of the franchise’s accessibility.

So, just in case you were wondering what to watch next on Netflix, take a chance with the Fifty Shades trilogy, coming soon.
