After a surprising lull on the new Netflix movies front over the past two weeks, February is here to kick the streaming titan's Original Movie line-up back into gear. Until now, Netflix hadn't released any new movies since Back in Action on January 17. So, it's high time for some new films to land on the service. Based on the reception that its latest in-house film – Kinda Pregnant – has received, though, maybe it shouldn't have bothered. Still, there are a couple of more positively reviewed films to read about in this guide, so don't leave just yet! If none of the below are of interest, you can always read our best Netflix movies guide to find something else to watch on the world's best streaming service. Release date: February 5 Here's a new movie that Netflix shouldn't have given life to. Kinda Pregnant stars Amy Schumer as Lainy, a singleton who becomes jealous of her best friend's pregnancy. In a bid to start garnering attention from any and all people who'll give it to her, Lainy starts wearing a prosthetic bump – and it works. Well, until she meets the man of her dreams and her little white lie starts to spin out of control. You know what you're going to get from a Netflix comedy film like this, but even those who enjoy this kind of sloppy genre fare can see it's an abomination of a movie. Steer well clear and let it waddle off into the ether where no-one will ever see it again. Release date: January 17 Cameron Diaz reportedly came out of acting retirement to star in Netflix's first big-budget film of 2025. She shouldn't have bothered. Back in Action has been panned by critics (general audiences don't seem to like it that much, either), with one reviewer even saying it's a "bad movie by any standard". Ouch! For anyone who might be interested in checking it out: Diaz and Foxx play Emily and Matt, two CIA agents who gave up their careers to start a family. However, when their cover is blown by enemies from their past, the married couple are forced to re-enter the murky world of espionage to keep themselves and their kids safe. To me, Back in Action sounds like another schlocky, by-the-numbers Netflix Original that's anything but original. Release date: January 10 The follow-up to one of Netflix's surprise 2023 hits, Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger reunites us with the titular, altruistic millionaire (played by The Rings of Power and James Bond actor Rory Kinnear) who set up a community bank in the town of Burnley, UK to help its local businesses to thrive. This time around, Dave has to contend with the threat of payday loan companies as he attempts to help keep Burnley's population safe from these predatory corporations. Bank of Dave 2 won't win any awards, nor will it be incredibly popular with Netflix's global userbase. Nonetheless, its heart-warming story, relatable characters, and quintessentially British humor are sure to make it a worthwhile sequel to its highly-rated forebear. Release date: January 3 (available on BBC iPlayer in the UK) Everyone's favorite claymation pairing are back for another feature film-based adventure. That's right, bumbling inventor Wallace and his loyal canine companion Gromit have returned for another misadventure – one that sees the animated British icons battling returning for Feathers McGraw when the latter reprograms Wallace's latest creation in an attempt to steal the infamous Blue Diamond once more. As a huge fan of Wallace and Gromit, I've been eagerly awaiting Vengeance Most Fowl's arrival – and it didn't disappoint me when I watched it on BBC One in the UK on Christmas Day. It's laugh out loud funny, quintessentially British in its makeup, wonderfully animated, and incredibly family friendly, especially with regards to its breezy 80-minute runtime. The first of many great new Netflix movies that'll surely arrive this year. Here's a short list of all of the new Netflix movies that are expected to arrive throughout 2025. Many of them don't have confirmed releases dates, though, so we've put a 'TBC' placeholder next to these titles for now: For more Netflix-based coverage, read our best Netflix shows and best Netflix documentaries guides.
