For February, Netflix will be releasing and adding a number of new films to its streaming platform, ranging from love-infused gems to thrillers that will have you at the edge of your seat.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the streaming platform is adding some cheesy romantic comedies such as Players, A Soweto Love Story, and more for you to binge-watch with your special someone as.

However, for those who aren’t feeling the love this holiday season, action-packed films such as box office favourite Top Gun Maverick and Mea Culpa might be more suitable for you.

So, make a note of these films so that you can remember to look out for them in February.
