Every month, kawarthaNOW is the only local media source to bring you a list of what’s coming to Netflix Canada. February is the month of love, so of course Netflix is offering a lot of romantically themed content, from thrillers to comedies to reality series.
One Day is a British limited series based on David Nicholls’ bestselling 2009 novel as well as the 2011 feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. The 14-episode series tells the love story of Emma and Dexter (Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall) over 20 years by exploring their lives on the same day every year — July 15, when they first spent a platonic night together after graduating from university, talking about where they would be once they are 40 before going their separate ways. One Day debuts on Netflix on Thursday, February 8th.

The romantic comedy film Players follows New York sports writer Mack (Gina Rodriguez), who has spent years developing a playbook of successful hook-up schemes with her friends (Damon Wayans Jr., Liza Koshy, Augustus Prew, and Joel Courtney). When she unexpectedly falls head-over-heels for one of her targets (Tom Ellis), she must learn what it takes to go from simply scoring to playing for keeps. Players premieres on Netflix on Valentine’s Day (February 14).

Also coming to Netflix on Valentine’s Day is the German romantic comedy The Heartbreak Agency, which tells the story of single mom Maria (Rosalie Thomass), who has founded an agency to help heartbroken clients get over their sadness. When she talks one of her unhappy clients out of her relationship with the commitment-phobic journalist Karl (Laurence Rupp), the newly dumped and skeptical Karl wants to get back at Maria by exposing her as a heartbreak fraud — and then things take a turn. The film is loosely based on the successful self-help book “Goodbye Herzschmerz” (Goodbye Heartache) by Elena-Katharina Sohn and her real-life Heartbreak Agency (Die Liebeskümmerer).
