We’re always surprised by the range of content Netflix brings to the table. February has not only original shows and movies, but also some favorites from the recent past, like Search Party and Night Court. We’ve gone through the month’s debuting content, watched the trailers, read the reviews, and picked out the must-see material, along with a complete listing of everything being added in the next few weeks. Here’s our guide to the most interesting new series and movies on the streaming service in February.
Queen Of Chess (Feb. 6)
The world of chess has traditionally been incredibly male-dominated, so when teenage Hungarian prodigy Judit Polgár became the youngest player ever to break into the FIDE top 100 rankings at 12, she shocked the world. New documentary Queen of Chess traces Polgár’s meteoric rise, facing off with legends like Garry Kasparov and exploring her expertise, which was specifically chosen by her scientist parents as part of a grand, and possibly unethical, experiment.

Million-Follower Detective (Feb. 12)
Taiwanese thriller series Million-Follower Detective has an irresistible hook: an online fortune teller becomes a viral sensation by predicting the gruesome murders of a number of influencers. When one of her targets commits suicide by cop, the officer who pulled the trigger finds his life ruined by the incident. Teaming with a female detective and another vlogger, he must figure out what force led to the incident and whether the fortune teller is doing more than just predicting.
Strip Law (Feb. 20)
Netflix’s adult animation offerings have been exceptionally solid for a while, and we expect good things from Strip Law. Created by Cullen Crawford, a former Late Show writer who has also worked on Star Trek: Lower Decks, it follows an uptight lawyer way out of his element in Las Vegas who teams up with a louche stage magician to expand his business.
