A closer look at 8 new Netflix releases coming over the next several days, including a slew of international TV shows and movies.
February is shaping up to be a pretty standard month as far as Netflix releases go, with a smattering of high-profile returning favorites — like You Season 4, and later this month Outer Banks Season 3 — while the rest of the month is sprinkled with docuseries, international titles, new reality shows, and much more.
Below, we’ll walk through some of the most interesting new releases to check out next week on the streaming giant. They include yet another new love-themed reality series, as well as a slew of new TV shows and movies from around the world that will most definitely appeal to viewers who aren’t afraid to take a chance on something new.
First up is the returning French crime drama Braqueurs (Ganglands, in English), which debuted on Netflix back in 2021. The key characters are Mehdi, a veteran thief, and Liana, a gangland noob who both get caught up in a turf war between drug dealers. They have to work together to survive and save their loved ones — and, suffice it to say, there are a lot of shootouts and dead bodies piled up by the end.
The original 6-episode season clearly performed well enough that Netflix felt a second batch of episodes was in order. Ganglands is the product of creators Hamid Hlioua and Julien Leclercq, both of whom have also been involved in other Netflix projects (the Netflix series La Revolution and the French thriller movie Sentinelle, respectively).
Season 2 of Ganglands arrives on Netflix on February 17.
Moving right along, this next one is for the reality series fans among you.
The 12-episode Netflix release Perfect Match, coming on February 14, brings together single stars from Netflix’s other unscripted series like The Mole, Too Hot to Handle, Love is Blind, and The Ultimatum, among others.
