February is a shorter month and mercifully brings the winter season to a close. Netflix is clearly looking ahead to spring, as this week’s lineup of new content to close out the month is particularly thin. But even in a slower week, the streaming service still has a handful of exclusives to offer up.
This week is all about the return of “Bridgerton,” as the juggernaut period romance-drama brings its fourth season to a close. Will Benedict Bridgerton and the Lady in Silver find their happily ever after? If you’re not on the “Bridgerton” hype train, then you have other original options like The Actors Awards (formerly the SAG Awards) and a new stand-up comedy special.
I’ve combed through Netflix’s slate for February 2026 and picked out the three exclusive movies and TV shows you might want to consider watching over the next few days.
‘Bridgerton’ season 4 part 2
“Bridgerton” wraps up its fourth season this week with the second batch of four episodes dropping on Thursday (Feb. 26). Lovers of lavish decor and swoon-worthy romance will no doubt have this one on their watchlist already. “Bridgerton” season 4 adapts the novel “An Offer from a Gentleman” (though there are plenty of changes from the source material).
Per tradition, each season of “Bridgerton” focuses on a different member of the titular bohemian family. This season, it’s Benedict (Luke Thompson) in the spotlight, with this season exploring his courtship of the mysterious Lady in Silver (Yerin Ha). Expect high drama, longing stares, and probably wedding bells by the season finale. “Bridgerton” fans will surely love every moment.
Watch "Bridgerton" season 4 part 2 on Netflix from February 26
The 32nd Annual Actors Awards
Netflix became the exclusive streaming home of The Actors Awards, formerly known as the SAG Awards, in 2024, and this year the platform will once again live-stream the event on Sunday, March 1. Kristen Bell (star of Netflix's "Nobody Wants This") is returning as host, with “One Battle After Another” leading the nominees, matching a record set by “Shakespeare in Love” as one of only two movies nominated in all eligible categories.
Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
As the name suggests, these awards are specifically focused on actor performances, and always bring out the stars, so expect to see many famous faces throughout the night. You can consider this something of an appetizer ahead of the full meal that is the Academy Awards on Sunday, March 16.
Watch "The Actor Awards" live on Netflix on March 1
‘Bruce Bruce: I Ain’t Playin’’
Netflix is one of the best streaming services for new comedy specials, and its latest slice of stand-up hilarity comes from Bruce Bruce. You can expect a range of hilarious observations from the comedic talent, including riffs on old favorites like family and fame, as well as “the real definition of foreplay” (Netflix’s words, not mine). If you’re looking for some feel-good laughs this week, Bruce Bruce is the man to provide them. As noted, Netflix has a vast collection of comedy specials, and “I Ain’t Playin’” should slot right into the mix.
Watch "Bruce Bruce: I Ain’t Playin’" on Netflix from March 3
