Apple TV+ February 2026 Schedule: Full Release Calendar, New Movies, Returning Series, and Highlights

Apple TV+ doesn’t flood the market with content — and February 2026 proves why that strategy works. Instead of dozens of same-week drops, Apple spaces out premium originals, pairing one major movie release with several high-profile returning series and steady weekly episodes that carry viewers from winter into spring.

For subscribers, February 2026 is a balanced month: blockbuster-scale sci-fi, prestige drama, character-driven comedy, edge-of-your-seat thrillers, and family programming that actually earns repeat viewing.

February 2026 Highlights by Genre

Movies: One Big Event, Timed Perfectly

Eternity is Apple TV+’s sole feature-film release of the month — and that’s intentional.

Premiering on February 13, just ahead of Valentine’s Day weekend, the film blends romantic comedy and fantasy in a high-concept afterlife setting. Rather than competing with a crowded movie slate, Apple positions Eternity as the movie night pick of the month.

Why it stands out:

• A recognizable, star-driven cast

• A standalone story that doesn’t require franchise knowledge

• Emotional appeal that travels well internationally

For viewers who dip into Apple TV+ primarily for films, Eternity is February’s must-click title.

Drama: Emotional Stakes and Weekly Momentum

Apple TV+ announces season two renewal for global hit drama “The Last Thing He Told Me”

The Last Thing He Told Me — Season 2

Returning on February 20, this character-focused drama deepens its exploration of family, trust, and secrets. Apple sticks with its preferred rollout model: weekly episodes, allowing tension and conversation to build rather than burning through the season in one weekend.

Season 2 leans harder into:

• Long-term emotional consequences from Season 1

• Shifting family dynamics

• Moral ambiguity rather than clean answers

It’s designed for viewers who enjoy prestige drama without the intensity of a thriller.

Thriller: Edge-of-Your-Seat Television

Hijack — Season 2 (continuing)

Although it premiered in January, Hijack remains a February staple thanks to its weekly pacing. Each episode sustains real-time tension, making it one of Apple TV+’s strongest appointment-style thrillers.

Why it works:

• Clear stakes

• Tight runtime

• Minimal filler

If you prefer your drama fast and focused, Hijack is the series most likely to keep you coming back every week.

Sci-Fi & Action: February’s Biggest TV Event

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters — Season 2

Launching February 27, this is the largest single title on Apple TV+ this month — both in scale and in ambition.

Season 2 expands the Monsterverse mythology while keeping the story grounded in human consequences. Weekly releases ensure the series carries momentum well beyond February and into early spring.

Expect:

• Larger set pieces

• Deeper global stakes

• More mythology, but with accessible storytelling

For fans of franchise television that still feels serialized and thoughtful, Monarch anchors the end of the month.

Comedy & Dramedy: Character Over Punchlines

Shrinking — Season 3 (continuing)

February marks the emotional core of Shrinking’s third season. Episodes released this month balance humor with introspection, leaning into the show’s strength: honest conversations about grief, therapy, and flawed growth.

This is Apple TV+ comedy at its best — not loud, not broad, but deeply relatable.

Family & Kids: Colorful, Repeat-Friendly Viewing

'Yo Gabba GabbaLand!' Season Two

Yo Gabba GabbaLand! — Season 2

February is the first full month of availability for Season 2, making it a strong option for families looking for fresh kids’ content.

Why it matters:

• High replay value

• Music-driven episodes

• Designed for both kids and parents

Apple continues to treat kids’ programming as premium content rather than filler.

Final Takeaway

Apple TV+’s February 2026 lineup is quietly one of its strongest months of the year. With a smartly timed original film, prestige drama, blockbuster sci-fi, sharp thrillers, heartfelt comedy, and dependable family programming, the service offers something for nearly every type of viewer — without demanding constant attention.

If you prefer:

• Quality over quantity

• Weekly storytelling over binge burnout

• Clear release schedules

Then February 2026 is exactly the kind of month Apple TV+ is built for.
