Here’s everything that’s coming to and leaving Netflix Canada in February 2022, including The Cuphead Show!, Inventing Anna, more Space Force and new seasons of Love Is Blind and its Japanese spinoff.

Inventing Anna

With the ubiquitous Shonda Rhimes at the helm as creator and producer, this bingeable true crime series should get you through the cold months. Multiple Emmy Award-winner Julia Garner (Ozark) plays Anna Delvey, a woman who pretended to be German royalty, tricking Manhattan glitterati until she finally got caught. The stellar cast includes Anna Chlumsky, Laverne Cox and Arian Moayed. (GS) February 11

The Cuphead Show!

The Oakville-made indie cult smash video game Cuphead is heavily inspired by 30s Disney and Fleischer cartoons, but now it has a cartoon show based on the game. It’s a big jazzy circle. NOW magazine put Cuphead on the cover of its video game issue in 2020 for good reason: that stinker Cuphead and his sidekick Mugman have some seriously fun style, and a Netflix animated show seems like almost too perfect of a fit. (RT) February 18

Murderville

In this American reworking of the experimental BBC comedy Murder In Successville, hard-bitten investigator Terry Seattle must cope with a new corpse and a new mystery each episode—all while being shadowed with a new trainee played by a different celebrity guest who has no script to follow and must solve the crime themselves. Ken Jeong, Marshawn Lynch, Annie Murphy, Kumail Nanjiani, Conan O’Brien and Sharon Stone are the trainees; Will Arnett is Terry Seattle. It’s gonna get silly. (NW) February 3

Love Is Blind: Japan

International versions of hit reality shows are fascinating. The dynamics often work entirely differently in another culture. We think this version of the meet-date-get-engaged show could work really well in Japan, where other reality shows—notably Terrace House—have garnered cult followings. (GS) February 8

Love Is Blind season 2

It’s going to be hard to top the first season of this dating reality show in which singles get to know each other and even propose marriage, sight unseen. How will anyone top the chemistry of Lauren and Cameron (who married and are still together)? Or the white-wine-drinking trainwreck that was Jessica? The producers, as well as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey, will definitely try to create magic for a second season. (GS) February 11

Space Force season 2

Two years after a first season that did not exactly win the hearts and minds of America, Steve Carell and Greg Daniels’s workplace sitcom about the wacky folks trying to make sense of Donald Trump’s astro-military initiative returns for another round of foolishness. Will Carell’s by-the-book general Mark Naird keep speaking in that gravelly voice nobody liked? Will John Malkovich’s fussy Dr. Mallory get through an episode without sputtering in frustration? Will Tawny Newsome’s helicopter pilot turned astronaut Angela Ali and Jimmy O. Yang’s astrophysicist Chen Kaifang get to pick up on their genuinely sweet chemistry, which was a highlight of season one? Will the writers figure out a way to get Naird’s awkward daughter Erin (Diana Silvers, another season-one highlight) into more stories? These are all valid questions, Space Force. Don’t let us down again. (NW) February 18

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Yes, we know, there have been a lot of disappointing follow-ups to Tobe Hooper’s 1974 masterpiece about some unfortunate young people who stumble onto a house of redneck cannibals – most recently the terrible prequel Leatherface. But this latest entry, which once again resets the board to erase all the other movies and pick up where the original left off, is co-written and produced by Fede Alvarez, whose Evil Dead reboot was kind of amazing. And Eighth Grade’s Elsie Fisher is among the new teens who may or may not be meat for the Sawyer family grinder. So, once again, we’re cautiously optimistic. (NW) February 25

Cat Burglar

Netflix describes this series as “Classic cartoon craziness meets an interactive quiz in a new series from the creators of Black Mirror,” which… could mean anything, really. Is this another Bandersnatch? Because that was insufferable. Are Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones even the Black Mirror creators Netflix is talking about, or is the company pulling a fast one somehow? Having watched five seasons of Brooker and Jones’s nihilistic cultural commentary, my guess is that it’ll be some sort of choose-your-own-adventure experience where viewers are made complicit in the level of violence inflicted on animated characters who resemble the Looney Tunes characters we all know and love. But then I’m even more cynical than Charlie Brooker. (NW) February 22
