Christmas is definitely behind us and the platforms greet 2026 with a few powerful premieres, some expected returns and a resurgence of the platform fight. Choose your favorite, because we bring you the juiciest news of February in terms of streaming.
The queen of chess
If you think ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ is among the best things Netflix has ever produced, check out this documentary that tells the true story of the legendary Hungarian chess player Judit Polgár. Overcoming the sexism of a space controlled by men, she challenged champions like Garry Kasparov to become a champion of the sport with a career that began when she was only 12 years old, as the result of her parents’ experiment to raise geniuses.

Samuel
After a triumphant stint on RTVE, this acclaimed Franco-Spanish series comes to Netflix, consisting of a single season of 21 four-minute episodes. An endearing and sometimes somewhat crude vision of the transition from childhood to adolescence through Samuel’s personal diary, which narrates his concerns, fears, goals and feelings, including everything from unrequited love to experiences such as the death of a friend’s grandmother. The minimalist visual style has a spontaneous touch that tends towards graphic experimentation, and gives rise to a little gem that adds to the best of Netflix’s animation section.

Stargate SG1
By surprise and in anticipation of the new series that Prime Video will produce, this modern classic of television science fiction arrives on Netflix. Although the platform has not specified what we can expect from this recovery, we trust that we will have at our disposal the ten seasons of which it consisted, no less than 214 episodes in total. A year after Roland Emmerich’s 1994 film tells the story, it starts with the idea that Ra was not the only alien who used stargates to transport human slaves to multiple planets. Let’s hope things go well for Netflix and we can enjoy successive spin-offs like ‘Atlantis’, ‘Universe’ and even the two direct-to-DVD movies.

The deception
The Russo brothers are behind the production of this film that recovers the trope of the expert assassin retired and far from the madding crowd, but in a pirate key: Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden thought she had escaped her violent past, finding peace in the Cayman Islands with her husband, her son and her sister-in-law. But when her infamous ex-captain arrives seeking revenge, her world falls apart and she is forced back into action. Leading the cast are Priyanka Chopra, whom the Russos already showed us in ‘Citadel’ and the always reliable Karl Urban.

Ponies
Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson star in this spy comedy that promises excitement and entanglement with airs vintage thanks to its setting in the late seventies. In Moscow, two ponies (“people of no interest”) work as secretaries at the United States embassy until their husbands are murdered under mysterious circumstances. That’s when they become CIA agents. One of them is the daughter of Soviet immigrants, speaks Russian and is overqualified. His companion, the complete opposite: a somewhat reckless village girl. Together, they try to uncover a great conspiracy in the middle of the Cold War.

Neighbors
The trendy indie production company in Hollywood, A24, is behind this documentary series that sometimes seems like a sitcom and sometimes like a demented thriller: it examines stories of absurd, scandalous and dramatic residential conflicts, starring a fauna of extravagant characters spread across the United States. Each episode features a group of neighbors in conflict, with protests ranging from property lines to the use of pets or the appearance with which they go out on the street.
Surviving Paradise: Beyond Jehovah’s Witnesses
For a long time, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been part of the friendlier landscape of Spanish religion. But hidden behind absolute secrecy was what many former members of the organization describe as a much more disturbing reality. This documentary goes into the annulment methods typical of a sect that many former members claim are practiced in secret: three episodes that talk about the passage of these former Witnesses through the group, their abandonment of it and the subsequent organization until reaching the trials in 2022.
Rafaela and her crazy world
This new series from the Chanante universe, created by Aníbal Gómez and based on his own book ‘The amazing world of Rafaella Mozarella’, promises to be absolutely insane. It is directed by Ernesto Sevilla and on board are many of the usual suspects: Aníbal himself, Ingrid García-Jonsson, Carlos Areces, Joaquín Reyes and Arturo Valls. Surreal and hooligan, it will tell us the life of a teenager who lives immersed in a dysfunctional family accompanied by three friends and a poodle.

The Muppet Show (2026)
Let’s get rid of comebacks that don’t interest anyone. This is the most anticipated reboot in television history since ‘DuckTales’ returned: all the classic characters in a legendary program with, how could it be otherwise, a special guest. In this case, Sabrina Carpenter with the help of the great comedian Maya Rudolph. Produces a certified Muppet fan, Seth Rogen, on a roll since he made ‘The Studio’. If this turns out half as well, we have Muppets for a while.

En un instante (In the Blink of an Eye)
He directed two of Pixar’s best films, ‘WALL-E’ and ‘Finding Nemo’, and the industry fell on him when he signed a box office disaster that almost took down Disney, the highly underrated ‘John Carter’. It seems that Hollywood has forgiven him, and Andrew Stanton returns with a film that exhibits declared influences from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, ‘Magnolia’ and ‘Interstellar’. The film features three interconnected stories spanning thousands of years exploring the entire history of the world, and was presented at Sundance, where it won the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Award (awarded for the best representation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics themes in films at the festival).

More than rivals
A unique opportunity to take a look at one of the most talked about audience phenomena of recent months on social networks: the entire internet is devoted to this passionate story of the complicated relationship between two hockey players, one Canadian and the other Russian, rivals on the ice rink but secret lovers. Interesting not only because of the unbridled passion that guarantees a series like this, which may possibly repeat the success and comments within our borders, but because it perfectly certifies the popularity of one of the subgenres. young adult most powerful on the publishing scene: sports romance.

Spinal Tap II: The ending continues
The recent death of Rob Reiner makes this long-awaited sequel his last film, and what better way to say goodbye: the film that popularized the mockumentary format and that made it impossible for us to take stadium rock seriously again sends us to a reunion of the legendary Spinal Tap for one last concert. A journey in which stars such as Paul McCartney, Elton John and Garth Brooks, among others, will make cameo appearances.

A Better Man
This miniseries won the award for Best International Series at the Serializados festival, and of course, it promises provocation, suspense and some corrosive criticism: a virulent internet troll blames feminism for everything that is wrong in modern society. When hackers reveal his identity and his most shameful secrets, he hides in what is closest to hand, since he works in his mother’s women’s fashion store: women’s clothing. Since then, his entire perspective changes.

Monarch: Monster Island – S2
The series that is so splendidly prolonging the Legendary Monsterverse returns with a new season where we will visit Kong’s Skull Island, the colossal ape will make its appearance and, of course, we will see how all kinds of monsters make their appearance. Among others, we are promised the appearance of a legendary sea monster that, from what can be seen in the trailer, is well served as a tentacle.
An installment will continue with the fate of Monarch—and the world—at stake. The saga reveals buried secrets that bring our heroes (and villains) together on Kong’s Skull Island, as well as a mysterious new town where a mythical Titan rises from the sea.
