Buoyed by a busy start to the month with 38 new movies and series dropping, this week turned out to be very active for new releases. A total of 70 brand-new movies, games, and series debuted over the past week, with even more scheduled to arrive over the weekend. Below, we’ll highlight three titles that should be on your watch list, provide the full list of new additions, and check in on what’s been topping the TV and movie charts over the past week.
At least five new releases are also scheduled to drop over the weekend. The two significant movies on the way are Uncle Drew (2018) and Spencer (2021), the latter of which we just featured on our Best Movies of February 2025 list. You can find the complete list of everything coming up on Netflix throughout the rest of February 2025 here.

Genre: Drama
Director: Benjamin Gutsche

Our first highlight today comes from Germany. It’s a new sci-if limited series coming from writer and director Benjamin Gutsche that tells the story of a smart home system that’s been abandoned for many years but finally has some new residents to take care of. It’s powered by an ultra-smart AI system and… you can probably tell where this is going.
I’ve only had a few episodes so far, and I’m hooked. It’s a dark mix of Black Mirror meets Humans meets 2001: A Spacy Odyssey and I’m here for it. It’s got an incredibly unique aesthetic and I’m looking forward to finishing it up.
Number of episodes: 6
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama
Cast: Kaitlyn Dever, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Catherine McClements
Few shows get the kind of push Netflix has given Apple Cider Vinegar, which hails from Australia, with the limited series being akin to Inventing Anna. Although based on the true story, Netflix only dubs the show as “true-ish” perhaps taking lessons from its Baby Reindeer fiasco of last year. It follows friends Belle and Milla, who embraced Instagram in the early days to build a health and wellness empire. The problem? It’s built entirely on lies.
We should also note that the story of Belle Gibson will be explored even further later this month with the 2023 documentary The Search for Instagram’s Worst Con Artist joining Netflix around the globe on February 20th.
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Biography, Drama
Director: John Lee Hancock
Cast: Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch
Writer: Robert Siegel
Runtime: 115 min / 1h 55m
Coming to Netflix on February 2nd is The Founder, which is a regular on Netflix, having come and gone multiple times from 2017 through to mid-2023. It’s not been on Netflix since then but it’s such a great watch that I’ve got to give it another thumbs up upon its return today. The biopic tells the often underplayed story of the real owner of the McDonald’s fast food chain that probably has a restaurant close to you.
Sadly, the movie is one of the dozens that are currently blocked on Netflix’s advertising tier, meaning you’ll need a premium sub to watch.
Note: You can find an expanded version of our new on Netflix list below on our hub page. There, you’ll find trailers, previews, reviews, scores from RottenTomatoes and IMDb, and more information about each title.

Our top pick for last week, and the return of Fox Searchlight movies on Netflix US, topped the charts and finally kicked off Back in Action from the top spot (although only just) in the film top 10s this week. We’re referring to The Menu, which stars The Queen’s Gambit’s own Anya Taylor-Joy—18 movies featured in total throughout the week.

American Manhunt: O.J. Simpson got off to a poor start in the Netflix top 10s. Coming a year after the athlete died, we wondered whether people were just tired of the story, but as it turns out, it’s just the rest of the world just uninterested, with the series flying high in the TV top 10s this week in the US. The Recruit, which looks to be struggling upon its return two years after season 1 dropped, rounds out the top 3.
