Looking for an edge-of-your-seat thriller to break up the winter doldrums? In this limited series, a former president (Robert DeNiro) is tasked with uncovering the perpetrators behind a cyberattack that left over 3,000 people dead.
If plot twists and the iconic lead aren’t enough to get you watching, it also features top-tier performances from Lizzie Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, and Angela Bassett as the current POTUS. The best part? It’s all under the purview of Narcos showrunner Eric Newman.

The current social media-obsessed era has driven people to extremes in the hunt for likes, views, and clout. This limited series is loosely based on the true story of an Australian woman who rises to notoriety after claiming to have been cured of terminal brain cancer.

3 | Running Point (Feb. 27)
Netflix
Not all new TV is downtrodden and dire this winter: There are comedies, too! Running Point stars Kate Hudson (who also receives an executive producer credit) as Isla Gordon, an executive who suddenly becomes the head of her family’s prolific NBA franchise after her brother resigns in the wake of a scandal.
But despite coming from a high-powered professional background herself, she’ll still have to prove to her coworkers and brothers that she’s cut out for the fast-paced world of professional sports.
Besides its stellar cast, the series also counts comedic icon Mindy Kaling as a showrunner, alongside fellow executive producer Ike Barinholtz.
“I’ve been eager to dive into something comedic with a team I admire, and this role offered a fresh challenge and was hilarious and engaging right from the start,” Hudson told Netflix blog Tudum. “The chance to work with people I respect and to bring a unique female perspective to a male-driven world was incredibly appealing.”
4 | Cobra Kai: Season six, part three (Feb. 13)
Netflix
Years after reviving The Karate Kid storyline with this spinoff, fans will finally be able to see the final chapter play out. The last episodes of the series will finally see former enemies turned dojo partners Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) handle the fallout from the Sekai Tekai tournament. And even with a culmination that’s four decades in the making, there’s still plenty that will finally get resolved.
“Our Day 1 goal with Cobra Kai has always been to end it on our terms, leaving the Valley in the time and place we’ve always imagined,” co-creators Hayden Schlossberg, Jon Hurwitz, and Josh Heald wrote in a statement announcing the final season, per Tadum. “So it is with immense pride and thankfulness that we are able to announce that achievement…While this may be a bittersweet day for the fandom, the Miyagiverse has never been stronger.”
