Is It Cake? Valentines

• Release date: Feb. 4, 2026

Let's start off with Is It Cake? Valentines. Now, this isn't a full-blown season like the main Is It Cake? series. Instead, it’s a special Valentine’s edition that's only one episode. Think of it as the ultimate mix of sweet romance and mind-blowing baking skills.

Here's how the special works. Viewers watch as three real-life baking couples go head-to-head to create hyper-realistic cakes. The twist? The judges have to figure out which creations are real objects and which ones are edible masterpieces. Hosted by Mikey Day and featuring celebrity judges like Ashlee Simpson, Evan Ross, Casey Wilson, and David Capse, this Valentine’s special is packed with laughs, surprises, and jaw-dropping cake creations.

When it comes to who the bakers are in this holiday special, their names are Alex and Amanda, Jason and Tyler, and Kimberly and Taurus.

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast

• Release date: Feb. 12, 2026

Next up, we have How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, an upcoming Netflix original series from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee. The dark comedy series follows three lifelong friends who reunite after receiving news of the death of the estranged fourth member of their childhood group. What starts as a tense reunion quickly spirals into a darkly comedic and unpredictable journey, as the women try to uncover the truth about their friend’s past.

The first season consists of eight episodes, each about an hour long. Portraying the three friends are Roísín Gallagher, Sinéad Keenan, and Caoilfhionn Dunne. Also in the cast are Tom Basden, Art Campion, Michelle Fairley, Josh Finan, Bronagh Gallagher, Darragh Hand, Ardal O’Hanlon, Natasha O’Keeffe, and Emmett J. Scanlan.

The Art of Sarah

• Release date: Feb. 13, 2026

The Art of Sarah is one of the first new Korean shows to be released on Netflix this year. From the gripping plot alone, you'll want to check this series out. Shin Hye‑sun stars as Sarah Kim, a glamorous luxury brand executive whose life seems perfect until a body believed to be hers turns up. This throws everything into chaos. But here’s the kicker. Sarah seems to have lived multiple lives under multiple names, leaving everyone wondering who she really is.

As Detective Park Mu‑gyeong (Lee Joon‑hyuk) digs deeper, secrets unravel, lies are exposed, and every twist makes the story more intense than the last. Sarah's carefully constructed life, built on luxury, status, and deception, starts to collapse. The show's cast also includes other talented South Korean actors such as Kim Jae-won, Jung Da-bin, and Shin Hyun-seung.

Strip Law

• Release date: Feb. 20, 2026

Rounding out the list is Strip Law, a wildly unhinged adult animated comedy arriving on Netflix next month. Taking place in the chaos of Las Vegas, the series centers on Lincoln Gumb, a painfully straight-laced lawyer who’s completely out of his element in a city built on spectacle. But everything changes when he teams up with local magician/hedonist Sheila Flambé. Together, they take on the most ridiculous and absurd legal cases Vegas has to offer.

Strip Law season 1 consists of 10 episodes for you to watch and enjoy. In addition, the voice cast includes Adam Scott, Janelle James, Stephen Root, Keith David, and Shannon Gisela. If you’re in the mood for something bold, ridiculous, and completely unfiltered, Strip Law is the perfect way to wrap up your February Netflix watchlist with plenty of laughs.
