4 good Netflix shows you missed in February 2026

Netflix has a great lineup of new shows and movies coming in March 2026, including new seasons of One Piece and Virgin River, as well as new Netflix shows, like Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. Before we officially turn the page and get excited for those upcoming shows, we have to make sure you didn't miss all of the good Netflix shows released in February 2026.

While February was definitely a quieter month for TV, overall, Netflix had some big hits released, including new seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer, Love is Blind, Bridgerton, and more. We've also seen licensed shows like The Hunting Party become popular on Netflix, too, this month.

With all those big shows to watch, I'm sure you didn't have time to watch all the good Netflix shows released during the month. So, I put together a list of four good Netflix shows you probably missed in February 2026.

Let's get the list started with a docuseries about one of the most popular reality shows ever.

Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model

America’s Next Top Model is one of the most popular reality TV shows of all time. The series was one of the game/changers for the genre in the early 2000s, and it helped turn Tyra Banks into one of the biggest stars in the world. 

Well, as we have come to realize, most of those early reality shows were very problematic. This new Netflix original documentary series, Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model, peels back the curtain on a lot of the issues that happened behind the scenes with the series. It’s truly horrifying. 

There are only three episodes in the season, so it's a relatively quick and easy binge on Netflix.

Unfamiliar 

If you love action spy shows, Unfamiliar is the perfect show for you! The German Netflix original series was released on Feb. 5. It tells the story of a pair of spies who are forced to get their hands dirty when they are targeted by old adversaries. As they try to stay alive, they realize their reality wasn't as stable as it once seemed. Susanne Wolff and Felix Kramer star in the hit series.

For a while, it looked like Unfamiliar was the sneaky Netflix hit of February. In some ways, that was true. Before Netflix rolled out some of the heavy hitters later in the month, Unfamiliar enjoyed a little wave of popularity on the Netflix Top 10. Since then, it’s sort of faded from view, but it’s still one of the best shows of the month that viewers need to watch. 

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast

I had a lot of high hopes for How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, but unfortunately, it’s been largely absent from the Netflix Top 10, which means viewers are not tuning in. 

Honestly, it’s a shame! Lisa McGee, the creator of Derry Girls, created the Netflix original series. It stars Roisin Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne as three friends who start to look into the mysterious death of a friend in Ireland. Hijinks ensue. 

While the show has performed pretty well in the UK, it’s had a hard time catching on in other regions, including the US. If you like shows like Derry Girls, I highly recommend watching How to Get to Heaven from Belfast in the near future.

The Night Agent season 3

It’s weird to claim The Night Agent is one of the Netflix shows viewers missed during its release month. This show has been a mega hit over its first two seasons, but that’s simply not the case for season 3. 

The Night Agent season 3 opened with less than 9 million views in its opening weekend, which is about half as popular as season 2. The low viewership has put season 4 in jeopardy. It’s going to be really interesting to see where things go from here, but there is some good news. Season 3 has hovered around No. 1 on the Netflix Top 10 during its second week.

If you haven’t caught the new season, I highly recommend it. In fact, I think this season is the best in the show’s history, overall. In the new season, Peter is buried deep in his work as a Night Agent after the events of season 2. His latest mission sees him in Turkey trying to find a man who is connected to a terrorist attack that killed many Americans. Unfortunately, he's contacted by an old foe who needs a favor, and that's when things get interesting. There’s no doubt that Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) is missing Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan), but there’s a lot to like about the new season. 

If you need a new Netflix show to watch, I hope you start your binge-watch with one of these four shows! Stay tuned for more good Netflix shows to watch.
