New on Netflix

Even non-racing fans have been raving about Formula 1: Drive to Survive (Feb. 24), a Netflix original series about the world of F1 racing. Season 5 tackles the highs and lows of the 2022 F1 season with unprecedented access and a unique artistic flair. 

The stacked comedy-adventure film We Have a Ghost (Feb. 24) is about a family who discover their house is haunted and become a social media sensation. Not everything is cheery though, as they become targets of the CIA. The cast includes Jennifer Coolidge, Tig Notaro and David Harbour. 

If you can’t get enough of the Netflix original reality series Too Hot to Handle, the German iteration of the show hits the platform at the end of the month. Too Hot to Handle Germany (Feb. 28) is about hot Germans competing for a big prize. The catch? They can’t have sex.

As is the tradition, on March 1 a series of older films are also being added to the platform, including: Gran Torino, The Intern, Léon: The Professional, Men in Black, Men in Black II and Promising Young Woman.
