With no shortage of spectacle, romance and escapism, February’s film and TV releases offer plenty of reasons to both snuggle up at home and head out to cinemas. Headlining the entertainment slate is Emerald Fennell’s bold and polarising “Wuthering Heights,” starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, while Bridgerton makes a comeback to our living rooms with the second half of its Cinderella story. On the darker end of the spectrum, Scream 7 sharpens the knives once again with a new Ghostface killer, and the post-apocalyptic Paradise returns to Disney+ after its breakout first season, having received four Emmy nominations during last year’s awards circuit. With the Oscars just around the corner, there’s no better time to put on a good film, series or documentary—or perhaps all of the above. Read ahead for February’s exciting new releases.
What to Watch in February 2026
“Wuthering Heights”
Premieres 12 February in cinemas
It’s a familiar story dressed up for a new generation. “Wuthering Heights” comes to the silver screen as a modern reimagining of Emily Brontë’s torrid “romance”. Directed by Saltburn’s Emerald Fennell, it’s one of February’s most talked-about releases yet, starring acclaimed Aussies, Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie. While the gothic novel explored destructive obsession, moral bankruptcy and revenge, the film adaptation seems to have a different take on the narrative, calling it the “greatest love story of all time.” A visual spectacle with a bold campaign—what we can say is: we’re certainly intrigued.
