Your February TV Streaming Guide Is Here
From the scandal-based series 'Apple Cider Vinegar' to new seasons of 'The White Lotus' and 'Yellowjackets', there’s plenty worth fussing over in February.
The second month of the year is special for many – a time for Aquarius to indulge their curiosity, Pisces to explore their creativity, and lovers to pay double the price for dinner in veneration of St. Valentine.
But there are ten other reasons why February is worth getting hyped about, and all of them are seriously good new series to stream. Faux health guru Belle Gibson comes to life in Apple Cider Vinegar, the highly anticipated series based off her rise and fall, while in Good Cop/Bad Cop, Gossip Girl Leighton Meester turns detective. Add third seasons of The White Lotus and Yellowjackets alongside Robert De Niro’s TV series debut at the ripe age of 81 in political thriller Zero Day, and you can see what all the fuss is about!
1. A Thousand Blows
Where Can I watch it? On Disney+
No one does gritty period pieces better than Peaky Blinders creator, Steven Knight. In his new six-episode series, A Thousand Blows, Knight takes us into the brutal world of illegal boxing in the East End of London in the 1880s. Lead by Malachi Kirby and Francis Lovehall who play Hezekiah Moscow and Alec Munroe, two best friends on the run from Jamaica, this knock out drama drops you deep into the criminal underbelly of bare-knuckle boxing in the 19th century. Talk about a hook!
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Where Can I watch it? On Netflix
The scandal that took Australia (and the rest of the world) by storm is finally getting the TV treatment. Apple Cider Vinegar tells the story of faux health guru and social media scammer Belle Gibson, who rose to fame after the launch of her uber successful app, The Whole Pantry, before rising to infamy when The Whole Fake Cancer fib was exposed. Filmed in Melbourne, Belle’s fraudulent escapades unravel over six scandalous episodes.
3. Good Cop/Bad Cop
Where Can I watch it? On Stan
From gossip girl to sister sherlock, Leighton Meester stars in this new eight-episode comedic drama series alongside Australia’s Luke Cook (Hacks, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), who plays her brother, Henry. Shot in Queensland but set in a small fictional town in the Pacific Northwest, the series follows the sibling detective duo Lou and Henry, hilariously under-resourced and over-managed by their police chief father, Big Hank. Thought your family dynamic was stressful? Imagine trying to solve a crime with them.
4. Love You to Death (A muerte)
Where can I watch it? On Apple TV+
Bumping into your childhood friend at the funeral of a fellow classmate isn’t exactly a conventional way to kick off a rom-com. But add a recent cancer diagnosis and an unexpected pregnancy into the mix and you’ve got yourself a surprisingly funny and endearingly sweet series. In this seven-episode Spanish romantic comedy, childhood friends Raúl and Marta reconnect, leading them to question everything they thought they knew about love, and themselves.
5. 1923: Season 2
Where can I watch it? On Paramount+
Spawning more spinoffs than Star Trek, Yellowstone fans hardly had time to blink let alone mourn the end of the neo-Western series before its next iteration aired. Dubbed “the ranch-set Succession”, Season 2 of Yellowstone’s prequel, 1923, traces the Dutton family tree back a century ago to the Great Depression era where we find Cara and Jacob Dutton - played by the powerhouse that is Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford - defending the family ranch in the midst of a brutal winter.
6. Surface: Season 2
Where Can I watch it? On Apple TV+
When we first met Sophie Ellis (played by The Morning Show’s Gugu Mbatha-Raw) in Season 1 of Surface, she was desperately trying to piece together her past after a mysterious injury left her with missing memories. Now, chapter two of Sophie’s story takes place in London, as her quest for the truth lands her rubbing shoulders with the British elite while hinting at an heiress connection. Isn’t that the dream; to discover you’re actually royalty but just forgot? Only Sophie’s dream becomes a nightmare when a journalist seeks to expose the people she’s come to trust.
7. Sweet Magnolias: Season 4
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
A lot went down in the charming town of Serenity last season. Boyfriends brawling with ex-husbands, restaurants being vandalised, and friend’s experiencing fertility hurdles. But, as always, the Sweet Magnolias were there for each other in ways only ride or dies can be. In Season 4 of this heartwarming hug of a show, Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley), and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) strap themselves in for another wild ride on the wild rollercoaster also known as life as women in their 40s.
8. The White Lotus: Season 3
Where can I watch it? On Binge
What is The White Lotus without The Jennifer Coolidge? You’re about to find out. While the third season of the satire-soaked series will be the first without Coolidge’s beloved character, Tanya, it promises to deliver just as many memes. Set in Thailand, this season is set to take aim at Eastern religion, death, and spirituality with the wit and scorn that only Mike White can. Natasha Rothwell reprises her role as Belinda from Season 1, joined by a star-studded cast that includes Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Aimee Lou Wood.
9. Yellowjackets: Season 3
Where can I watch it? On Paramount+
The only good thing to come from the near two year wait for season 3 of Yellowjackets is that it gave us time to grieve the shocking loss of what transpired in last season’s finale. In this third season of the now cult-status series loosely based on the 1972 Andes plane crash, the survivors pick up the pieces of the current day tragedy while still coming to terms with what transpired when their soccer team’s plane crashed in the Canadian wilderness in 1996. Set to drop on Feb 14, it’s the perfect date night show to cuddle up to (if you want to sleep with one eye open).
10. Zero Day
Where can I watch it? On Netflix
At the ripe age of eighty-one years old, Robert De Niro’s arm has finally been twisted to star in a television series. Directed by Griselda’s Eric Newman, De Niro plays George Mullen, a former American president who helps the current president (Angela Bassett) handle a cyberattack that killed thousands. At the same time, his unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets, at great personal and professional risk. See De Niro as you’ve never seen him before – and not just because he’s on a streaming series! (Pigs fly. End scene.)
