January is coming to an end and February is just about to get underway. This means a major shake-up in the offerings of all the best streaming services and many library titles disappear from one place, possibly appear elsewhere, and an entirely new library of new content arrives.

The top shows and movies new on Netflix this week are once again headlined by the return of a surprise hit from 2023. Last week, the big show on Netflix was "The Night Agent" season 2, a spy thriller that was one of the biggest hits for the streaming service last year.

It led to a total of $10.1 billion (£7.7 billion) in GVA being generated by the fiscal incentives for film in 2019.
