New on Hulu: All the TV and movies coming this February
February once meant fresh arrivals on Hulu that matched the calendar shift from January chill to the steady drumbeat of awards season. The 2018 lineup mixed bold new titles with comfort-viewing classics, giving subscribers plenty to queue up before the holiday circuit kicked into higher gear. Hulu has changed its slate many times since then, but those early picks still mark a distinct moment in the platform’s programming history.
The selections below capture the range that landed that month: intimate biopics, high-octane action, prestige drama, and crowd-pleasing back-catalog staples. Each one arrived with its own built-in audience, whether longtime fans or curious first-timers.
New Features
Tom of Finland arrived on February 12. Dome Karukoski’s portrait of artist Touko Valio Laaksonen placed the creator’s bold drawings and personal life at the center of twentieth-century queer culture, earning festival attention before the streaming window opened.
The Villainess followed on February 21. The South Korean thriller earned early praise as the craziest action movie of last year for its kinetic set pieces and director Byung-gil Jung’s unrestrained vision. The story follows a trained assassin navigating revenge and shifting loyalties, highlighted by an extended hallway sequence that recalled the intensity of Oldboy while stretching the brutality further.
Detroit closed the new-feature slate on February 23. Kathryn Bigelow revisited the 1967 riots through the eyes of a motel raid that exposed deep fractures in policing and community trust. John Boyega anchored the ensemble, and the film’s measured pacing let the historical parallels speak without editorializing.
New Series
Broad City season 4 dropped on February 4. Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson kept their signature New York misadventures intact, layering absurdist humor over the everyday scramble of young adulthood in the city.
Good Girls season 1 arrived on February 27. Jenna Bans crafted a suburban dramedy around three mothers who pivot from quiet desperation to a supermarket heist, using dark comedy to examine economic pressure and reclaimed agency.
The Looming Tower premiered on February 28. The ten-episode limited series starred Jeff Daniels, Peter Sarsgaard, and Alec Baldwin and examined the institutional friction between the CIA and FBI in the years before 9/11. The production framed the rivalry as one factor that contributed to larger policy failures.
Valentine's Day Themed Additions
Recent February lineups have leaned into romantic comedies timed for the holiday window. In 2026, Hulu added 500 Days of Summer, Pretty Woman, The Proposal, and When Harry Met Sally on February 1. These titles offered familiar comfort-viewing for viewers tracking the awards circuit or simply seeking lighter fare between screenings.
Black History Month Highlights
February also surfaces titles that align with Black History Month programming. The 2026 slate brought 12 Years a Slave and The Hate U Give early in the month. Both films carry documented awards recognition and continue to circulate in academic and community screenings long after their theatrical runs.
Recent Blockbusters and Sequels
Action and franchise continuations remain part of the monthly mix. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes landed on February 2, 2026, giving subscribers a recent theatrical title shortly after its awards-season push. The addition followed the typical pattern of tentpole films moving to streaming once the theatrical window closed.
Comedy Specials and Stand-Up
Stand-up releases have become a reliable early-month feature. On February 4, 2026, Hulu added Chris Spencer: GOAT Adjacent and Jackie Fabulous: You Can Leave. Both specials arrived with festival and late-night circuit exposure, providing quick, repeatable viewing for subscribers who track new comedy drops.
Looking back at the 2018 selections and forward to current patterns shows how Hulu’s February offerings continue to balance prestige arrivals, genre experiments, and seasonal crowd-pleasers. The platform’s rotation keeps older titles in circulation while introducing fresh catalog items that reflect shifting viewer habits and cultural calendars.
