The Boyfriend (3 February)
Tell me more: The second season of the LGBTQ+ Japanese dating show has only grown its cult viewership, and the final is almost upon us.
After four weeks of heartbreak, shock arrivals and budding romances, it’s time to find out which members of the Green Room want to carry their relationships on in the outside world.
Netflix says: “Through unexpected reunions, quiet misunderstandings, and moments where love and friendship blur, each of them searches for an answer that belongs only to them.
“A new chapter begins for the boys – and their stories start now.”
The Investigation Of Lucy Letby (4 February)
Tell me more: The new 90-minute documentary promises to offer one of the most in-depth looks into the famous case of Lucy Letby.
In 2023, the neonatal nurse was sentenced to 14 whole-life orders for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others while working at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
The new feature-length documentary is made up of police testimonies and interviews with experts alongside never-before-seen footage of Letby during her arrest and questioning.
It will also include an interview with the mother of one victim, the first time a family member involved in the prosecution has spoken about the case.
Netflix says: “Unprecedented access, footage and insight into the conviction of a British neonatal nurse who was found guilty of murdering seven babies.”
The Lincoln Lawyer (5 February)
Tell me more: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo returns as the lawyer Mickey Haller, who is now facing trial for a murder he didn’t commit.
Facing a relentless district attorney, Mickey must fight to prove his innocence, expose the real killer and save his law firm.
Inspired by Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel The Law Of Innocence, fans can expect the show’s signature blend of suspense, humour and heart.
Netflix says: “Following the incredibly suspenseful and emotional climax of season three, the stakes have never been higher, because this time Mickey is the client. With his very life and reputation on the line, he’ll need the strength and support of his entire team, and his entire family, to fight for his future.”
Love Is Blind (11 February)
Tell me more:Love Is Blind is back for a 10th season, and this time around, the show heads to Ohio.
As ever, the format sees singletons speed dating in private pods that restrict them from seeing the other people – with couples only allowed to clap eyes on each other for the first time after they become engaged.
Will they all make it down the aisle? Time will tell, but we do know they aren’t going to the altar without plenty of drama.
Netflix says: “Singles who want to be loved for who they are have signed up for a less conventional approach to modern dating, and will choose someone to marry without ever meeting them.
“Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding, and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the pods.
“When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with? Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this social experiment will uncover whether looks, race, or age do matter – or if love really is blind.”
How To Get To Heaven From Belfast (12 February)
Tell me more: Have you been binge-watching Derry Girls since it ended? Well, its creator, Lisa McGee is back with a brand new drama, featuring a new group of messy but lovable women to root for.
Don’t expect the same comedy shenanigans this time around, as How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is a much darker comedy/thriller about lost friendships.
Still, there are plenty of laughs and complicated female characters to love.
Netflix says: “Clever, chaotic TV writer Saoirse; glamorous, stressed-out mother of three Robyn; and dependable, inhibited carer Dara have been a tight-knit group since school. Now in their late 30s, but still as close as ever, these three friends are about to embark on the most thrilling adventure of their lives.
“When an email arrives, telling them about the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood gang, a series of eerie events at her wake sets them on a dark, dangerous, and hilarious odyssey through Ireland and beyond as each tries to piece together the truth about the past. “
Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model (16 February)
Tell me more:America’s Next Top Model, which ran for 24 cycles between 2003 and 2016, was a beloved reality show until we all started to rewatch it through a 2020s lens, and the once-popular reality show was re-examined.
In this new documentary, former judges and contestants reveal how the show became appointment viewing for reality TV fans, and how they feel about all the fat-shaming, Blackface and behind-the-scenes drama that went on.
Netflix says: “Since ANTM ended, a decade ago, longtime fans and new audiences alike – fueled in part by pandemic-era binge-watching – have revisited the show and taken to social media to reconsider its place in the culture, scrutinising controversial moments and questioning whether contestants were treated fairly.
“In the docuseries, Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, and former judges and contestants speak directly to those questions and reflect on the show’s complicated history.”
Being Gordon Ramsay (18 February)
Tell me more: This new six-part documentary series promises to show Gordon Ramsay in a new light.
The series offers unprecedented access to the lives of Gordon, his wife Tana, and his two daughters Tilly and Holly as he balances family life with the launch of his £20m venture in one of London’s tallest buildings.
This candid doc promises to peel back the layers of the angriest chef on television and show him more as a dad and entrepreneur.
Netflix says: “This is Gordon as we have never seen him before as he opens the doors to his home and businesses.
“Over a six-month window, the expansion of his restaurant empire begins to take shape and, with the official launch fast approaching, we see Gordon balance the challenges that come with it with his life as a husband to Tana, and father to their six children.”
The Night Agent (19 February)
Tell me more: The Night Agent, which remains one of Netflix’s most-watched series ever, returns for a third series.
In the action thriller, an FBI agent – played by Gabriel Basso – is thrown into a government conspiracy and must protect the country from terrorist attacks.
The plot of this upcoming third series is still being kept under wraps, but we’re promised exciting stunts, new adventures and even more thrills.
Netflix says: “Coming off the explosive events of season two, Night Agent Peter Sutherland is called in to track down a young Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul with sensitive government intel after killing his boss.
“This kicks off a sequence of events where Peter investigates a dark money network while avoiding its paid assassins, while putting him on a collision course with a relentless journalist. Working together, they uncover buried secrets and old grudges that threaten to bring the government to its knees – and get them both killed in the process.”
Strip Law (20 February)
Tell me more: The steamer is added to its growing slate of adult animated comedies with Strip Law.
From the team behind Big Mouth and The Midnight Gospel, Strip Law is set in the chaotic world of Las Vegas legal practices, and features an all-star cast of voice actors, including Severance’s Adam Scott, Abbott Elementary’s Janelle James and Barry’s Stephen Root.
Netflix says: “Uptight lawyer Lincoln Gumb is too boring to win cases in Vegas until he teams up with local magician/hedonist Sheila Flambé to bring some flash and pizzazz to the stupidest cases the city can throw at them.”
Bridgerton (26 February)
Tell me more: After the first half of Bridgerton’s fourth season set the scene for more romance, secrets and scandal, part two continues the love story.
The new episodes of the regency-era period drama delve deeper into Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha’s characters’ relationship, and promise to bring the drama as identities are revealed and secrets unravel, as this Lady In Silver is not quite who she seems.
Netflix says: “The upcoming eight episodes follow bohemian second son Benedict Bridgerton as he reconsiders his stance on settling down.
“Previously unconvinced by the prospect, everything changes at his mother’s masquerade ball, where Benedict is awestruck by a masked, mysterious Lady in Silver. Benedict sets out in society to uncover the young lady’s identity. But in fact, his heart’s desire is not in society at all – she is a resourceful maid called Sophie Baek.”
Formula 1: Drive To Survive (27 February)
Tell me more: The new series of Drive To Survive lands on Netflix just weeks before the new season of the motorsport starts.
Last season’s battle for the Drivers Championship was one of the most dramatic in recent memory, with crashes, firings and the closest title race in years.
The new episodes of the behind-the-scenes docudrama will surely include the controversy surrounding Christian Horner, Lewis Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari and the story behind that Lando and Oscar rivalry.
Netflix says: “Offering unprecedented access, this new season will once again take fans behind the scenes, to witness first-hand how the drivers and teams prepare to battle it out for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.”
