7 Must-Watch Netflix Original Movies Premiering in February 2024

The second month of 2024 keeps pace with the previous one in terms of exciting movie and TV releases.

And Netflix subscribers in particular should be excited: February will see the release of 7 intriguing original films, some of which have already been raved about by critics.

7. Kill Me If You Dare

Premiere Date: February 13, 2024

The list of full-length films released on Netflix in February kicks off with Kill Me If You Dare. In 2019, the service has released a Turkish rom-com of the same name, but now it's time for Polish filmmakers to conquer the heights of the romantic comedy genre.

The story revolves around a young married couple with a rocky relationship who win a huge jackpot in the lottery. What they don't know is that each of them is preparing a murder plot against the other in order to get revenge and take the lottery winnings for themselves.

6. The Heartbreak Agency

Premiere Date: February 14, 2024

This German romance is adapted from the book Goodbye Heartache by Elena-Katharina Sohn, who ran an agency that helped clients cope with heartbreak after painful breakups.

According to the premise, the movie's protagonist, Maria, runs such an agency and helps a client break up with journalist Karl. Karl, who thinks the agency is a scam, signs up with Maria and begins his journey to find long-lost romantic feelings.

5. Players

Premiere Date: February 14, 2024

Celebrate Valentine's Day with a new rom-com from director Trish Sie. The movie centers on a young New York sportswriter (Gina Rodriguez) who has been playing the 'hookup game' with her best friend (Damon Wayans Jr.) for several years. One day, she meets a charming reporter (Tom Ellis) and is forced to decide whether or not to break the most important rule by developing romantic feelings for him.

4. The Abyss

Premiere Date: February 16, 2024

In this Swedish thriller, we follow Frigga (Tuva Novotny), a security manager who works at the extremely dangerous Kiiruna Mine, the largest underground iron ore mine in the world. Frigga struggles to balance both her work and her shattered personal life, but one day everything falls apart when the mine begins to sink her town underground.

3. Einstein and the Bomb

Premiere Date: February 16, 2024

Last year, thanks to Christopher Nolan, we saw the events surrounding the development of the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project led by J. Robert Oppenheimer.

To a much lesser extent, however, the story focused on the man who brought humanity closer to understanding atomic energy, Albert Einstein. It was he, along with Leo Szilard, who motivated Roosevelt to build the atomic bomb before the Germans did. The new documentary effectively combines both archival footage and dramatization of the events.

2. Mea Culpa

Premiere Date: February 23, 2024

At the end of February, Tyler Perry's highly anticipated legal thriller starring Kelly Rowland and Trevante Rhodes will be released on Netflix.

The movie centers on Mea Harper (Rowland), a brilliant defense attorney who represents Zyair (Rhodes), an artist accused of murdering his girlfriend. However, just as Mea is on the verge of finding out if Zyair is actually to blame, it turns out that everyone associated with the case is guilty, including herself.

1. Code 8: Part II

Premiere Date: February 28, 2024

Rounding out the list is a Canadian dystopian sci-fi film directed by Jeff Chan (Plus One, PEN15), in which Robbie and Stephen Amell reprise their roles as super-powered con artists. This time, they once again go up against corrupt (and robotic) law enforcement when they must help a girl avenge the cops' murder of her brother.
