Hulu’s kicking off the shortest month of the year with a handful of new shows and a slew of favorite films.
The streaming platform drops a comedy series about high-school angst called PEN15 and the second season of FX’s mutant masterpiece Legion in early February before giving us a dark western-comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal, John C. Reilly, and Joaquin Phoenix towards the end of the month. If that doesn’t interest you, there are plenty of classic flicks and new network series to keep you busy. Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) the streaming platform in February.
ARRIVING
The Sisters Brothers (2/18)
This dark comedy starring John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jake Gyllenhaal bombed at the box office but was a critical success, mostly thanks to Reilly and Phoenix’s easy camaraderie and comedic chemistry. The film follows the story of two notorious assassins, the Sisters Brothers, who are tasked with hunting down a threat to their wealthy employer during the time of the California Gold Rush. Bizarre happenings and hilarious hijinks ensue, but there’s real heart to the story, particularly when it comes to the bond of these two men.
Legion: Season 2 (2/3)
The second season of FX’s mind-bending sci-fi drama lands on Hulu this month. Dan Stevens returns as the all-powerful mutant David Haller, who struggles to adjust to life after a year-long time jump that only felt like a few hours to him. He reunites with his friends, begins working for a new organization named Division 3, and confronts his own demons through a season-long battle with Farouk a.k.a. The Shadow King.
PEN15 (2/8)
Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle star in this adult comedy, playing versions of themselves going through pubescent angst alongside actual 13-year-olds. The situations they encounter are real to a cringe-worthy degree, but the humor comes from seeing these two grown women embodying pre-teens, navigating the perils of shaving for the first time and middle-school groping sessions, with actual teenagers.
DEPARTING
Lethal Weapon (2/28)
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover gave rise to the beloved buddy-cop genre with this film, and its follow-ups, all of which are leaving the streaming platform at the end of the month. The two men play stereotypical opposites — one a by-the-books officer, the other a rule-breaking rebel — but their chemistry on-screen is undeniable, and watching them escape dangerous situations while bickering with and bullying each other is all the fun here.
Apollo 13 (2/28)
Ron Howard’s docudrama stars a slew of A-listers including Tom Hanks, Ed Harris, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, and Gary Sinise, but it’s the incredible true story off which the film is based that’s the real draw here. The Apollo 13 is infamous for becoming yet another failed mission to the moon, but it’s the story of the survival of the crew against impossible odds, along with the fickle nature of space travel, that feels especially relevant.
