February on Netflix UK brings a mix of big‑buzz originals, returning favourites, and a few hidden gems for film fans to rediscover.

Bridgerton Season 4 understands that romance is not just about recognition, but readiness. And in asking whether love can survive when fantasy dissolves into reality, the series offers one of its most mature propositions yet.

STUDIOCANAL Presents returns in February with a diverse line-up of films and a mini-series that spans classic cinema, acclaimed drama and modern genre chills.

February is shaping up to be a packed month on Sky and NOW, with a mix of brand-new series, returning favourites, and big-screen spectacle landing across the platforms.

Disney have released the first look at the new animated series from Dave Filoni, Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord — The latest instalment to the Star Wars franchise releases Disney+ on April 6, with two episodes releasing each week until May 4.

Apple TV reveals the first look at season 5 of their hit space drama For All Mankind — The fifth season is set to release on Apple TV with one episode on Friday, March 27.

Netflix have released the official trailer for How to Get to Heaven From Belfast, the new series coming from the creators of Derry Girls — The series releases globally on Netflix on February 12.

The last 30 minutes are the most exciting and entertaining and it’s a shame the rest of the series didn’t have as much grip. Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is an easy, three-episode binge with moments of intrigue, strong supporting performances and striking locations, but it ultimately struggles with pacing, period authenticity and a lead character that feels misjudged.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards took place January 11, 2026, celebrating the best in film and television from the past year. Here is a breakdown of the key categories, highlighting winners alongside their fellow nominees.

In this episode of the Film Focus Online Podcast, host Elliot Lines and guest Shauna Bushe dive deep into the series finale of Stranger Things. They discuss their thoughts on the finale, character arcs, emotional connections, and the impact of character deaths.

STUDIOCANAL Presents kicks off January with a diverse and compelling selection of films, spanning modern music biopics, provocative contemporary drama, and restored classics from cinema history.

January brings a packed slate of must-watch TV and film across Sky’s channels and NOW, from brooding original drama and fantasy premieres to returning favourites and major movie debuts on Sky Cinema.

In the end, Stranger Things leaves behind a legacy as permanent as a scar from the Upside Down. We didn’t just watch a story unfold; we watched a generation of children grow into adults before our eyes, their real-world development mirroring the show’s own evolution from a quaint supernatural mystery into a sprawling epic of cosmic horror.

Season 5 of Stranger Things feels less like a victory lap and more like a long, meaningful goodbye that understands the weight of its own history. So far, the season trades constant spectacle for emotional gravity, allowing its characters to carry scars rather than simply outrun danger.

The Creep Tapes Season 2 is a fantastic continuation of both the series and the franchise, with Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice continuing to deliver entertaining and inventive work.

Welcome to Derry arrives under the steady hand of director Andy Muschietti, someone deeply versed in Stephen Kings haunted imagination and who understands that the terror in Derry is less about jump scares, but about patience and the slow tightening effect of dread.

Netflix have released the new trailer for Volume. 2 of Stranger Things Season 5 — Vol. 2 releases December 26. Volume 1 is streaming on Netflix and the Finale hits the platform January 1 — Watch the new trailer now!

Talamasca: The Secret Order isn’t a loud, action-heavy supernatural drama. It’s a quieter, more introspective story about the burden of protecting knowledge—and the cost of witnessing darkness without intervention.

The Abandons is a confident, engaging Western with a sharp emotional core, anchored by two powerhouse lead performances and a thematic focus that feels both classic and newly relevant.

In the end, Stranger Things 5 arrives as a culmination rather than a continuation—daring, threatening, and more emotionally exacting than the seasons that preceded it. By confronting its characters with the consequences they’ve spent years outrunning, the series finds a surprising clarity of purpose, threading genuine heart through apocalyptic stakes.
