In addition, viewers will be able to enjoy new episodes of "Force Majeure" and the drama "Toxic Town," which tells about a terrible environmental scandal. February will bring a lot of interesting new releases that should not be missed.

"TOXIC TOWN"

The British series will be released on Netflix on February 27, 2025. The plot of the series focuses on the 2009 scandal around the Corby steel plant, where toxic waste led to malformations in newborns.

Corby is a town in Northamptonshire where there was once a steel plant that closed in 1981, but not before huge amounts of toxic waste were dumped there. Efforts to remove the waste resulted in the contamination of settlements and communities, affecting local residents and their health. The environmental damage has led to birth defects, with the number of people in Corby born with limb defects well above average.

This is a story about a community centered on three mothers who join the fight for justice.

"The White Lotus" (third season)
