Netflix is set to deliver a substantial content boost this February, headlined by the arrival of one of television's most revered series. The streaming giant will add the entire 15-season run of the landmark medical drama ER, a move that significantly enhances its classic programming catalogue.
A Streaming Resurgence for a Television Icon
The addition of ER comes amid renewed interest in the series, partly fueled by the Emmy-winning success of the recent medical drama The Pitt, which also stars ER alumnus Noah Wyle. Created by the late Michael Crichton, ER premiered in 1994 and is widely credited with launching the career of George Clooney. Set in the emergency room of a fictional Chicago hospital, the show is consistently ranked among the most influential and critically acclaimed television programmes of all time, often cited as the definitive medical drama.
A Packed February Schedule
Beyond this major archival addition, Netflix's February slate is packed with new original content and returning favourites. Subscribers can anticipate the third season of the action-thriller hit The Night Agent, the concluding part of Bridgerton season four, and a new series from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee titled How to Get to Heaven from Belfast.
The documentary offerings are equally robust, featuring profiles of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay in Being Gordon Ramsay, an investigation into nurse Lucy Letby, and Matter of Time, a film focusing on Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. The popular sports docuseries Formula 1: Drive to Survive also returns for its eighth season.
Extensive Film and Television Additions
February sees a wide array of films joining the service. Notable titles include the recent A24 wrestling drama The Iron Claw, the animated sequel Kung Fu Panda 4, and classics such as Mrs Doubtfire, You've Got Mail, and Zero Dark Thirty. The month will also welcome the latest instalment in the Jurassic World franchise, Jurassic World: Rebirth.
In television, alongside ER, subscribers gain access to complete runs of series like Search Party, Stargate SG-1, and the later seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. New reality and competition shows, including another season of Love Is Blind and the baking challenge Is It Cake? Valentines, round out the diverse offerings.
This expansive update, compiled with data from What's on Netflix, ensures the platform remains a central hub for both contemporary hits and enduring television classics, catering to a vast range of viewer tastes throughout the month.
