Netflix February 2017 New Movies, TV Shows Update: Horror-Comedy Series and Valentine Special Among New Releases
A new month means a new set of movies and TV programs from Netflix that couch potatoes can binge-watch. Just one more day and a slew of new movies, TV shows and even a couple of the company's original productions are arriving to subscribers.
Top on the list of new narratives by Netflix is Drew Barrymore's "Santa Clarita Diet." The horror-comedy series follows a couple, Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and Sheila (Barrymore), who in an unusual twist of fate had the latter turn into a zombie living on human flesh. Another one is a Valentine special drama film exclusively made for the streaming giant, titled "Girlfriend's Day." Produced and written, as well as starred in by "Better Call Saul" actor, Bob Odenkirk, the project follows a has-been greeting card writer, Ray (Odenkirk), and his fateful encounter with Cardie (Amber Tamblyn), which will help him get back to the pinnacle of his career.
Meanwhile, some TV series heavy hitters are also scheduled to arrive on Netflix, including the critically acclaimed "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson." Originally premiering last year on FX, the narrative was mined from one of the most controversial cases in American history and shows a closer look at the tumultuous happenings during the much-publicized court hearings.

Meanwhile, for those who are looking for shorter narratives, or movies, the February lineup boasts a couple of good choices. Although not as extensive as the January roster, these films are nonetheless enough to keep movie buffs excited. "Finding Dory," the much-awaited sequel to "Finding Nemo," arrives at the streaming platform on the very first day of the new month. In addition, 2008's "Milk," which has nabbed eight Academy Awards nomination in the following year, also lands on the video-on-demand service.
For those looking for a more fun, laid-back flick, last year's dark animated comedy "Sausage Party," as well as Channing Tatum's stripper movie "Magic Mike," are highly recommended.
