DON’T LOOK NOW, but summer is slowly reaching its end. While the season itself is still going strong and will continue to hold out for just over another month, the feeling of summer is beginning to slip away. Now that everyone has returned to work, there’s less time for late afternoons by the beach, and the far simpler option of staying home for a good old-fashioned streaming binge is becoming more appealing by the day. It isn’t all bad news though. The new content coming to streaming platforms in February is worth staying in for.
February also brings us to the annual romantic movie solstice: Valentine’s Day. Whether you prefer straight up romance, or a touch of comedy, there’s plenty to choose from. This February, streaming platforms are your oyster. But with so much on offer and so many platforms vying for your hard-earned coin, it can be difficult to navigate the stream-scape. Esquire has you covered though.
We’ve rounded up the very best movies and shows coming to streaming platforms in February 2024. With a mix of critically acclaimed blockbusters popping up for their digital debuts and original series’ making their long-awaited premieres, there’s something for everyone in February. Read on to find the source of your next binge fix.
What’s new on Netflix in February?
February Netflix Highlight – Formula 1: Drive To Survive, season 6
Formula 1’s popularity has grown exponentially since the premiere of Drive To Survive, becoming a truly global sport in the process. Now, the hit series is returning for a sixth season that will recount the events of the tumultuous F1 2023 season. Despite his dominance on the track, don’t expect the sixth season of Drive To Survive to be the Max Verstappen show. The series delves deeper into the storylines going on behind the scenes, which might be less flashy, but are far more dramatic. Look for Australian phenom Oscar Piastri to feature often.
Elsewhere, One Day should satiate your Valentine’s Day desires, The Devil Wears Prada and She’s The Man will provide a mid-2000s blast from the past, and Kelly Rowland will try her hand at acting in legal thriller Mea Culpa.

What’s new on Disney+ in February?
February Disney+ Highlight – Genius: MLK/X
In Australia, February is a time of love and waning summer, but it has additional significance in the USA as Black History Month. As such, the fourth season of biographical drama series Genius will premiere next month, putting the spotlight on influential civil rights pioneers Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X. Genius showcases the minds and stories of people who have shaped the world we live in, having previously focused on Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso and Aretha Franklin. Now, the series will follow King and X from their formative years, taking audiences though their upbringings and the injustices they witnessed, which ultimately molded the identities of both men and started a global movement.
Disney fans should also keep an eye out for The Marvels, which makes its streaming debut after concluding its cinematic run. The semi-autobographical Suncoast, starring Woody Harrelson, and Shōgun, a historical drama set in 1600s Japan, are also watchlist material.

What’s new on Stan in February?
February Stan Highlight – The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
The latest spinoff of The Walking Dead, The Ones Who Live follows a pair of iconic characters in Rick and Michonne, who find themselves in an unfamiliar, war-torn world. The duo must battle against the dead and the living to find each other and some semblance of normality in a place that has long since lost it. Did we mention that The Ones Who Live is a romance? Well, it may not be your typical Valentine’s Day rom-com, but there’s a love story in there somewhere.
Stan is also bringing us The Wallabies: Inside World Cup 2023 next month. The series will follow most of Eddie Jones’ less than stellar tenure as head coach of the national team, offering behind the scenes insights to the few highs and many lows of their disastrous World Cup campaign.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in February?
February Amazon Prime Video Highlight – Mr. and Mrs. Smith
The long awaited reboot of Brangelina’s 2005 action/comedy of the same name has finally arrived. Donald Glover and Maya Erskine play John and Jane Smith, spies who go undercover as a regular married couple on high-risk, high-reward missions. This series has been a long time coming, having faced a series of delays during production. You won’t want to miss it.
American Fiction and Bottoms will both be hitting Prime Video next month. Both are critically acclaimed 2023 films, with American Fiction even landing a best picture nomination for the Oscars. Bottoms, meanwhile, has already earned cult-classic status away from the gentry of The Academy’s establishment.
For sports fans, Giannis: The Marvellous Journey will be unmissable viewing. The documentary chronicles basketball superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo’s meteoric rise from the streets of Athens to NBA championship glory.

What’s new on Binge in February?
February Binge Highlight – True Detective: Night Country
True Detective is one of the most popular crime dramas of all time. So, when it was announced that the series would be getting its fourth season in ten years, expectations were understandably high. Night Country premiered late last month, and it hasn’t disappointed one bit. Set in the fictional Alaskan town of Ennis, Night Country stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reid as detectives investigating the disappearance of eight men from an isolated research station.
It might also be worth checking out Downey’s Dream Cars, a light-hearted series in which actor Robert Downey Jr buys a collection of used cars he’s always wanted and restores them, making the vehicles more eco-friendly in the process.

The ten-episode series tells the stories of Christian Dior (played by Australian Ben Mendelsohn) and Coco Chanel, as they persevere through the turbulence and strict regimentation of Nazi-occupied Paris during World War II, emerging at the war’s conclusion as pioneers of modern fashion.
