Here’s Our Top Pick Of All The New Stuff Coming To Netflix This February

The good news? We’ve made it through January, congratulations one and all. The bad news? We’ve still got February to get through.

Fortunately, if the thought of four more weeks of cold wintery nights ahead is filling you with dread, we’re happy to report that Netflix has some great programming coming up to keep us entertained until spring is here.

Here’s a selection of the shows and films coming to the streaming giant in the next month…

Streaming from: 1 February

What’s it about? When a one-hit-wonder girl group from the 1990s gets sampled by a young rapper, its members reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot ― this time while balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents, and shoulder pain.

Originally airing on the streaming service Peacock, it has now been picked up by Netflix for its upcoming third run after its original home cancelled it.

Gunther’s Millions

Streaming from: 1 February

What’s it about? Multi-millionaire Gunther VI lives in the lap of luxury: He travels on private planes, eats gold-flaked steaks for dinner, and surrounds himself with a glamorous entourage of spokesmodels and entertainers. He is also a German shepherd.

As the legend goes, Gunther’s great-grandfather was originally owned by a mysterious countess whose son died tragically. Having no heirs, the countess bequeathed her considerable fortune to her beloved dog, and placed him in the care of her son’s close friend, an Italian pharmaceutical heir and aspiring impresario named Maurizio Mian.

“Over the past 30 years, Mian has built an empire on behalf of his canine boss, including glamorous real estate purchases, controversial social experiments, and one of the biggest tax fraud schemes of all time. It’s a fairy tale both beautiful and bizarre, and naturally, questions abound.”

You (season four)

Streaming from: 9 February (part one)

What’s it about? One of Netflix’s most gripping originals is back for a fourth run, and after the jaw-dropping events of season three, Joe (played by Penn Badgley) arrives in London where he soon adopts a new identity and, of course, wastes no time in looking for “love”.

Excitingly, a new location means a brand new cast, with Charlotte Ritchie (Fresh Meat, Feel Good) and Lukas Gage (Love Victor, The White Lotus) joining the fun this time around, which sees the tables being turned on our anti-hero.

As with a number of their hit shows, Netflix has split the new season into two halves, the first of which is coming in February, with the second following in March.

Ashton Kutcher Gets A Shower Of ‘Take A Shower’ Chants During Live US TV Appearance

Ashton Kutcher put in an appearance on a US sports show on Saturday, but his commentary about an upcoming football game was almost drowned out by the crowd.

The actor recently opened up about his and his wife Mila Kunis’s bathing habits, admitting he washes his “armpits and crotch daily and nothing else ever.”

The routine (or lack of) also extends to the couple’s children, now aged 4 and 6, with Mila revealing that when they were babies, she “wasn’t that parent that bathed my newborns, ever.” Ashton chimed in that they now clean the kids if they “can see the dirt on them.”

But during ESPN’s live College Game Day commentary segment on Saturday, Ashton’s comments came back to haunt him.

As he attempted to share his predictions from the commentary box on the Iowa vs. Iowa State football game, the crowd in the stadium can be clearly heard chanting “Take a shower”.

Ashton and Mila aren’t the only stars who are a little bit soap-shy.

Jake Gyllenhaal has also claimed that he’s not into bathing every day.

The Brokeback Mountain star told Vanity Fair: “More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times…. I do also think that there’s a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves.”

Meanwhile, Cardi B, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Momoa have all gone out of their way to make it clear that they frequently shower and are not impressed at some of the revelations from fellow celebrities.

Mila Kunis Shut Down Husband Ashton Kutcher’s Attempt To Fly To Space

Mila Kunis was not over the moon with her husband’s plan to fly to space.

In an interview published earlier this week, Ashton Kutcher told website Cheddar News that he’d bought a ticket for billionaire Richard Branson’s next Virgin Galactic flight and was all set to rocket into space — until his wife talked him out of it, that is.

“When I got married and had kids, my wife basically encouraged that it was not a smart family decision to be heading into space when we have young children,” Ashton explained.

“So I ended up selling my ticket back to Virgin Galactic.”

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis attend the sixth annual Breakthrough Prize at NASA Ames Research Center in 2017.

Asthon became the 500th person to buy a Virgin Galactic space flight ticket back in March 2012, three years before he and miLA got married.

Richard Branson – who owns the space travel company – and five of his employees hurtled into space from New Mexico on Sunday.

The 70-year-old is the first person to blast off in his own spaceship, beating fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos and his company Blue Origin by nine days, the Associated Press reported.

The Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo space plane Unity and its mothership separate as they fly above Spaceport America, near Truth and Consequences, New Mexico, on Sunday.

Branson and the other passengers reached an altitude of about 53 miles over the New Mexico desert, allowing them to see the curvature of Earth and experience a few minutes of weightlessness before heading back down. 

Virgin Galactic plans to do one more test flight before it begins flying paying customers, CNN reported. The company already has more than 600 potential space tourists with reservations, per AP.

Tickets initially cost $250,000 (around £182,000) each, but when the company reopens ticket sales soon, they’ll be even pricier.

“I was supposed to be on the next flight, but I will not be on the next flight,” Ashton told Cheddar.

Although Mika shut down her husband’s current dream (perhaps because she saw this bit on Late Night with Seth Meyers), he is still not giving up.

“At some point, I’m going to space,” he insisted.
