Pinch punch, it’s the first of the month, and what a day it’s been! In case you missed it, Netflix just unveiled their upcoming lineup of movies, series, and games scheduled to hit throughout 2024, but if you’re looking for what you can stream right now, here are all the new releases for February 1st.
For more on what’s set to arrive on Netflix throughout February 2024, keep your eyes locked on our preview for the month’s new movies, series, and games.
As always, we’ll run through some of our favorite new additions for the day, dive into the full list of new titles plus take a look at what’s trending in the Netflix top 10s.
3 Best New Movies and Series Added to Netflix for February 1st, 2024
Looper (2012)
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
Director: Rian Johnson
Cast: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt
Writer: Rian Johnson
Runtime: 119 min / 1h 59m
Returning to the Netflix catalog today is Rian Johnson’s best film (in my opinion), Looper. Starring Gordon-Levitt and Willis, the sci-fi movie is about a time-traveling hitman who is given a job to assassinate himself.
Perfectly paced, and some stunning performances make it clear why this movie holds such high scores across the board.
As with a few of the movies on this list, you’ll need a premium Netflix membership to watch this movie because, as with most Sony movies, they’re unavailable to stream on the ad tier.
Shortcomings (2023)
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Director: Randall Park
Cast: Justin H. Min, Sherry Cola, Ally Maki
Writer: Adrian Tomine
Runtime: 92 min / 1h 32m
If you’re looking for a relatively new movie today, then we’d recommend giving a shot to Sony Pictures Classics’ new title, Shortcomings, which had a small theatrical run back in August and arrives on Netflix today as an SVOD debut.
Here’s what you can expect from the new movie:
“A cynical indie movie theater manager must examine his life choices when his girlfriend forces a plot twist in their shaky relationship.”
Featuring Justin H. Min (who you’ll recognize from Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy)
Mary and The Witch’s Flower (2017)
Rating: PG
Language: Japanese
Genre: Animation, Adventure, Family
Director: Hiromasa Yonebayashi
Cast: Hana Sugisaki, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Yûki Amami
Writer: Mary Stewart, Riko Sakaguchi, Hiromasa Yonebayashi
Runtime: 103 min / 1h 43m
If you missed it, Netflix is about to be the home for future Studio Ponoc movies, starting with The Imaginary later in 2024. If you’re unfamiliar with the anime studio, Netflix has you covered today with the release of their beloved 2017 entry Mary and The Witch’s Flower.
If you’re looking for a Studio Ponoc one-two punch, Netflix also has the 2018 60-minute short film collection Modest Heroes: Ponoc Short Films Theatre.
