Netflix has been delivering a wealth of new streaming content this month, including these five brand new series that can all be binged in just one night. Each of these series consists of just 6 or 8 episodes, allowing viewers to start and finish them with ease.
Even though we're already halfway through the month of February 2026, Netflix has even more exciting releases coming up this month, including The Night Agent season 3 and the second half of Bridgerton season 2. Until then, these five shows are worth a weekend binge.
Motorvalley
Motorvalley is a brand new 6-part action thriller series released on Netflix on Tuesday, February 10. The series is centered around GT racing in Italy and three characters who aim for an underdog-like greatness. The series consists of high production value, strong performances, a great soundtrack, and, most of all, tension-fueled race sequences.
Lead Children
Lead Children is a gripping and inspirational new limited series on Netflix based on true events. The 6-part miniseries chronicles the heroic efforts of a Polish doctor who searched for answers and justice during a 1970s lead poisoning epidemic that made thousands of children sick, resulting in multiple deaths. For a tough but rewarding watch driven by resilience to overcome systemic corruption, Lead Children is a great choice.

The crime thriller series Kohrra returned for its second season on Wednesday, February 11, after earning a rare perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for its first season, released in 2023. Kohrra follows two police officers who investigate a mysterious death in both seasons. Consisting of 12 total episodes, Kohrra is a must-binge for fans of crime thrillers, murder mysteries, and police dramas.
Salvador
Salvador is another newly released action thriller series on Netflix that is worth checking out.

He goes to extreme lengths to pull her out before he's completely lost her. Salvador was released late last week and is trending worldwide right now.

If you only have time for one quick binge this weekend, it should be the 6-part spy thriller series Unfamiliar, which is the #1 series on Netflix right now.
