On March 10, Bones will move back to Monday nights on FOX at 8 PM while the final episode of Beauty And the Beast will air on The CW at 9 PM.

Also on March 10, the new NBC drama Believe will air its series premiere at 10 PM. Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, see the future… since she was born, Bo has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control. But now that she is 10 years old, her powers have become stronger and the threat from malevolent forces that would use her abilities to control the world has grown more dangerous. With her life and future in jeopardy, Bo’s protector, Milton Winter, turns to an unlikely source to keep her safe: Tate, a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who’s lost his will. Tate and Bo begin an extraordinary journey, one in which trust must be earned. On the run and traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they’ll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo’s power… because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever.

On March 14, Banshee will air its season finale on Cinemax at 10 PM.

The Lifetime movie The Grim Sleeper will debut on March 15 at 8 PM. The film follows LA Weekly reporter Christine Pelisek as she doggedly investigates the unsolved murders of dozens of women in Los Angeles and soon realizes one person is responsible for many of these deaths that began over 20 years earlier. After a string of murders in the 1980s, the violence seemed to end; but almost 14 years later, another murder spree begins, leading Pelisek to dub the killer “The Grim Sleeper.” The reporter-turned-amateur detective notices similarities between the cases and sets out to break the story of her career, researching evidence and interviewing witnesses for clues to the killer’s identity. While police and lead detectives kept the community in the dark about a potential serial killer on the loose, Pelisek contacts the victims’ families to offer them the truth about what may have happened to their daughters, sisters, wives and mothers. When the only known survivor comes forward to tell her side of the story, pieces of the mystery unravel and Pelisek is even more determined to bring justice for the victims.

The season finale of Black Sails will air on Starz at 10 PM.

On March 16, a special two-hour farewell special for the long-running, but recently defunct Lifetime drama, Army Wives will air at 9 PM.

Also on March 16, the NBC drama Believe will move to its regular time slot at 9 PM followed by the series premiere of the new drama Crisis at 10 PM. Crisis is about the most powerful people in the world who are brought to their knees, when those they hold most dear are threatened. In the opening, it’s field trip day for the students of Ballard High, a school that educates the children of DC’s elite, but when their bus is ambushed on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are taken, igniting a national crisis.

The new UP Network movie Dear Viola will debut on March 16 at 7 PM. When the writer of a local, obsessively-read, beloved advice column, entitled “Dear Viola,” decides to retire and leave the quaint seaside village of Bellport, seasoned editor Earl Bellamy is taken aback. While hoping to keep a lid on this news and his paper going, Earl unexpectedly finds a brand -new “Viola” column on his desk. Earl and his staffers Brian and Peggy, and soon the entire town find Viola’s new published tone to be refreshing, no -nonsense, funny and wise. Soon mail starts flooding in and using the security camera, Earl discovers the mystery columnist to be none other than Katie Miner, the shy accountant who has quietly done the books at the paper for years. Katie agrees to continue writing the column as long as her identity can remain secret. But how long with that last before things start to change.

Mark your calendars!
