Netflix is set to add a host of new series in February 2026, including the highly anticipated three-part drama The Witness, which sensitively handles the 1992 murder of Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common. The series follows the police investigation but focuses more on the struggle of her partner and son—the two-year-old who was the only witness—to carry on with their lives.
Also arriving is the second season of Tina Fey's comedy drama The Four Seasons, based on the film about a group of friends who go on a series of group trips. Subscribers are still enjoying recent releases such as The Boroughs, from executive producers The Duffer Brothers, and Legends, a drama based on an incredible real-life story starring Steve Coogan and Tom Burke.
For those who missed it, Ricky Gervais's After Life—voted the best modern comedy in a Radio Times poll—is available to stream. Gervais plays Tony, a grieving newspaper writer who adopts a brutally honest, self-destructive outlook after his wife's death, blending sharp humour with poignant emotion.
Other options include fantastical horror Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen, gritty Norwegian crime drama Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole, comedic mystery How to Get to Heaven From Belfast, and stylish thriller The Beast in Me.
