The biggest TV series and movie premieres on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more for February 2022.
After what’s felt like the longest month imaginable, we’ve finally waved goodbye to January. And, while the first month of 2022 was filled with plenty of movies and TV shows to stream, February is promising to deliver a similarly packed schedule. Curiously, there aren’t many new films launching on the world’s biggest streamers in the coming weeks. That means there won’t be many new entries to potentially add to our best Netflix movies or top-tier Prime Video movies lists. But there will be a wealth of new and returning TV series for you to binge watch or catch up with. So our best Netflix shows, Prime Video TV series, HBO Max shows, and similar guides will be regularly updated with anything we think is a must-watch, Below, you’ll find 10 of the biggest films and TV shows set to debut or return to Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Disney Plus in February. There’s even an entry apiece for Hulu and Peacock, too, with Pam and Tommy and the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot debuting this month. When to stream it: Wednesday, February 2 Based on the incredible true story – as detailed in an eye-opening 2014 Rolling Stone article – Pam and Tommy tells the extraordinary tale of how the homemade sex tape of celebrity couple Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee became the first-ever viral porn video. In our spoiler-free review, we said that leading co-stars Lily James (Downton Abbey) and Sebastian Stan ( Falcon and the Winter Soldier) are unrecognizable and « undoubtedly at the top of their games » as Pam and Tommy, respectively. Meanwhile, Seth Rogen (Pineapple Express, Invincible) also excels as the disgruntled contractor who releases the sex tape on the internet for the whole world to see. You’ll come for the story and all-star cast, but stick around for the emotion-driven drama, surreal and obscene humor, and thematic commentary on privacy and the celebrity world. US viewers can stream the first three entries on release day on Hulu, while UK audiences can tune into the same number of episodes via Disney Plus Star. When to stream it: Wednesday, February 2 Speaking of true stories, Netflix is back to bring audiences another shocking documentary – this time exploring the murky world of online dating. Based on real-life events, The Tinder Swindler covers the astonishing story of an alleged billionaire playboy who seduced numerous women worldwide before extorting millions of dollars out of them. Refusing to be victims of a heinous crime, though, the affected women band together with one aim: make the Tinder Swindler meet his match and answer for his crimes. Suffice to say, this one looks like it’ll be making its way onto our best Netflix documentaries list. Critics have raved about it, with some calling it the best documentary Netflix has ever made, albeit a hugely upsetting one that’ll make you think twice about signing up to any dating app. Stick it on your Netflix wish list now. When to stream it: Thursday, February 3 Raised by Wolves season 1 was something of a sleeper hit when it launched in 2020, amassing a cult following who viewed it as the spiritual successor to the Alien franchise’s crown. While there are no necromorphs in this HBO Max sci-fi series, it’s hard not to look at it as the long-overdue and deserving inheritor of that mantle. Given legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott’s involvement as a producer, too, it’s unsurprising that fans have likened the two franchises.
