Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Season 2 (February 27)
While Godzilla and King Kong are taking a break from the big screen, the creators of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters are unleashing their creativity in the series world, expanding the mythology not only around the central mysterious organization but also introducing a new gigantic threat that might be too much even for Kurt Russell. The first season didn’t quite impress us, but it looks like we might have to give the series another shot.
HBO
Heated Rivalry (February 7)
The hit series of the end of last year has finally skated into the Czech Republic. It opens the topic of the closed environment of top athletes, where a romantic relationship between two hockey players seemingly has no chance for success. Or? The series not only enjoys massive viewership but also rave reviews, so it shouldn’t be missing from your must-see list this February.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – Season 13 (February 16)
We regularly cover what's happening in America and the rest of the world. But those who know John Oliver know that serious topics can be tackled with a hefty dose of humor, exaggeration, and irony. And no one does it better than him. We have a feeling there won’t be a shortage of crucial debates this year.

The Lincoln Lawyer – Season 4 (February 5)
The most entertaining legal series of today is back with its fourth season, and from the previews, it looks like Mickey Haller, portrayed by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, is facing his toughest case yet. After an excellent third season and overall rising quality, we definitely want to be there for it!
The Night Agent – Season 3 (February 19)
“We’re excited to bring our fans thrilling new adventures, new worlds, new action challenges, new characters, and new obstacles in the third season,” commented showrunner Shawn Ryan for Tudum. In other words, if you enjoyed the action thriller that captivated the world a few years back in the previous two seasons, you can look forward to the third one too, as the creators will essentially serve up more of the same. Sometimes it’s okay not to change what works.
Bridgerton – Season 4, Part 2 (February 26)
How will the courtship of Lady Violet Bridgerton's second oldest son end, and more importantly — will the already iconic tea scene have a continuation? Readers, of course, know this, but everyone else will get their burning questions answered at the end of the month.
