February 2026 is shaping up to be a monumental month for Netflix subscribers, with the streaming giant set to welcome one of television's most revered and influential series to its library. The headline arrival is the complete fifteen-season run of the iconic medical drama ER, a show that not only defined a genre but launched the careers of Hollywood A-listers and garnered critical acclaim for over a decade.
A Streaming Coup: The Definitive Medical Drama Lands
The addition of ER represents a significant acquisition for Netflix. Created by the late Michael Crichton, the series is celebrated for its gritty, fast-paced portrayal of life in the emergency room of County General Hospital in Chicago. It served as a career springboard for George Clooney and featured Noah Wyle, whose recent success in the Emmy-winning series The Pitt has spurred renewed interest in his earlier work. Industry commentators regularly cite ER as a benchmark for medical storytelling, making its availability on a major streaming platform a major event for both new viewers and those eager to revisit classic episodes.
Major Original Series Return and Conclude
Beyond this classic acquisition, February is packed with high-profile original content. Subscribers can anticipate the return of the action-thriller The Night Agent for its third season, continuing the high-stakes espionage narrative. Meanwhile, the lavish period drama Bridgerton will release the concluding part of its fourth season, promising to resolve the latest romantic entanglements within the ton.
New original series also make their debut, including How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, the next project from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee. This promises to bring her signature blend of humour and heart to a new story.
Documentaries and a Vast Library Expansion
The non-fiction slate is equally compelling, featuring in-depth profiles and investigative pieces. New documentaries will explore the life of fiery chef Gordon Ramsay in Being Gordon Ramsay, and delve into the chilling case of Lucy Letby. Music fans can look forward to Matter of Time, a film focusing on Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder.
Furthermore, Netflix's catalogue will see a substantial influx of films and existing TV series throughout the month. Notable movie additions include The Iron Claw, Kung Fu Panda 4, and the anticipated Jurassic World: Rebirth. Television libraries will expand with seasons of popular shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Stargate SG-1, and Search Party.
