We've already told you that even if we're almost a year into the pandemic, there's no danger of running out of new content to watch. Hollywood continues to write and produce new movies, TV shows and documentaries. There's so much new stuff, in fact, that sometimes it's difficult to navigate the whole "Netflix and chill" ecosystem just because it's impossible to decide on what to chill with.
That's why we've got you covered with some top-notch suggestions. Here are some of February's new film and TV releases that are perfect for those (many) days where the only thing to do is stay home, grab a blanket and, well, chill.
Some of Netflix's Releases in February 2021
Netflix has promised "new movies, every week, all year" and so far they're keeping their word. Here are some of those features the streaming service will be releasing in February:
