There are only 28 days in February, so that may explain why most of the new content on Netflix Canada in February consists of films and series produced by Netflix. Or maybe the streaming service is hoping to justify its recent price increase.
Regardless, if you’re looking for something that’s not produced by Netflix, you’ll have to settle for some older movies — most notably the final four Harry Potter films. The only recent film coming to Netflix Canada in February is Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, the critically acclaimed documentary on Fred Rogers.
New Netflix films premiering in February include Dear Ex and Velvet Buzzsaw (Feb. 1), El árbol de la sangre and High Flying Bird (Feb. 8), The Breaker Upperers and Yucatan (Feb. 15), The Drug King (Feb. 21), and Firebrand, Paddleton, Paris Is Us (Paris est à nous), and The Photographer of Mauthausen (Feb. 22).
