The Artful Dodger: Season 2
Release date: Feb. 10
Streaming platform: Disney Plus
The first season of The Artful Dodger came out about two years ago, and it’s back for Season 2! The show features favourites like Thomas Brodie-Sangster (from The Maze Runner and The Queen’s Gambit), David Thewlis (who played the iconic Remus Lupin in Harry Potter) and Maia Mitchell (Teen Beach Movie). This series covers genres from drama and action to comedy and romance. As the Disney Plus description reads, “It’s a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist.”
Jack Dawkins, known as the Artful Dodger due to his notorious pickpocketing skills, sets out on a new path to become a surgeon. He falls in love with the governor’s daughter, Lady Belle, who is determined to become the first female doctor. So in the end, he must choose love or the thrill of the criminal world. Which will he choose?
56 Days: Season 1
Release date: Feb. 18
Streaming platform: Amazon Prime Video
56 Days is a new series launching this upcoming month based on the psychological thriller novel by Catherine Ryan Howard. This adaptation will be slightly different as it “exchanges pandemic-era Dublin for present-day Boston. Please note, the series is not a COVID-related project and does not take place during the lockdown,” according to the creators of the show.
The two main characters are Oliver (Avan Jogia) and Ciara (Dove Cameron), who fall deeply for one another after meeting in a supermarket. After exactly 56 days, something horrific unfolds: police find an unrecognizable body in Oliver’s apartment. So, who is it?
Being Gordon Ramsay
Release date: Feb. 18
Streaming platform: Netflix
If you’re a fan of Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef, or even Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, I’m here to deliver only good news for you this morning. The chef is the star of a new documentary series, Being Gordon Ramsay. This is a little different than your typical Gordon show; it’s not just cooking, but his life behind the scenes.
If you’re curious how Gordon juggles it all, give this one a try!
Bridgerton: Season 4, Part 2
Release date: Feb. 26
Streaming platform: Netflix
If you’ve already binged all of Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1, and you’re thinking, “the next one better be coming out soon,” unfortunately, you have to wait another month…I know, devastating.
While there isn’t a Part 2 trailer just yet, there should be more information coming soon.
If you’re not too familiar with this series, Bridgerton is a steamy romance and drama series set in the Regency era. If that’s your jam, give it a go (you won’t regret it)!
