Each month, streaming services drop a number of shows in order to make room for new shows. In most cases, it's no big deal – but if it's something that's been sitting on your watch list forever and you miss it, it can be disappointing.
Below, we take a look at what's leaving Acorn TV in March 2022. Where possible, we've offered alternative viewing options or suggestions for similar programming in case you miss the show in question.
Prefer to focus on what's new and coming soon? Here's the February 2022 premiere list for Acorn TV, and here's a look at 5 brand new Acorn TV Original shows coming out later in 2022. Their press team hasn't sent over the confirmed March premiere list yet, but we'll add a link here when they do.

Why don’t I see Lovejoy on any list of shows leaving Acorn yet it says it’s leaving Acorn in 5 days? Whar else is leaving that I don’t know about?
I have Acorn and haven’t heard of half of these shows!
That’s exactly why we make these posts – with so many shows on the service, it’s easy to overlook some. With a bit of advance notice before they leave, it gives you and anyone else the opportunity to check them out before they’re gone 🙂
I have Britbox and Acorn. Love these shows but wondering when Death in Paradise is coming to Britbox ?
Indeed. I love your comment. I was thinking exactly the same thing.
“Best new shows to arrive on Acorn in 2021.” Did you really mean last year?
Yes, that’s what we meant. It’s a list of good shows that were added to the service in the last year, but which many might have overlooked if they don’t follow the announcements closely.
