All the sci-fi TV and movies streaming in February 2021
With the fall TV season ramping up across network and cable, don't forget to stay plugged into streaming — because there are still plenty of cool genre projects hitting all those services, too.
The big story remains, arguably, Disney+'s Marvel series WandaVision. The first few episodes have been a wild thrill ride through the history of sitcom genres, with some freaky magic and MCU mysteries thrown into the mix. Disney+ is also going old school this month, pulling The Muppet Show out of the vault.
Switching over to a streamer you may have not checked in a while, the second season of Apple TV+'s excellent alt-history space exploration series For All Mankind finally blasts off for more Cold Space War drama. Netflix has the new South Korean sci-fi flick Space Sweepers, plus the first two Conjuring films for a few good scares. Over at Hulu, the streamer is adding some deep cut movies, Sonic the Hedgehog, and a new installment in the horror anthology Into the Dark.
Digging a bit deeper, we have a lot of classic and modern shows and movies hitting HBO Max (including the would-be-blockbuster Tom & Jerry), Amazon Prime, Tubi, Quibi, and some fresh horror at Shudder.
Grab your remote and let's get started.
NETFLIX
HIGHLIGHTS
Two Sentence Horror Stories (Season 2): Horror anthologies remain a hot commodity, and this The CW original will be bringing its second season of spine-tingling horror tales to Netflix. The concept is based on short form story set-ups, and each episode is fairly concise and tight — making for a perfect quick horror binge.
The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2: Looking for some A-list horror instead? The first two Conjuring films should do the trick. Hailing from horror master James Wan, the Conjuring films follow paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). They're well-composed, compelling and — yeah — pretty flipping scary.
Space Sweepers: This sci-fi space flick is a South Korean production, following the crew of the space ship The Victory after Earth has been destroyed. The far-flung adventure is set in 2092, so that's plenty of space for some fun, sci-fi tech to have been invented. It also represents just another way Netflix is flexing its international muscle in the genre game.

HIGHLIGHTS
WandaVision: The first season of Marvel's first big streaming project is turning the MCU on its head, and the mystery will continue to roll out in February. The first batch of episodes have arrived to wide critical and fan acclaim, telling a twisty story through the lens of different sitcom eras — but there's definitely something shady and more grounded lurking around the margins.
The Muppet Show: The iconic, 1970s Muppet Show is finally headed to streaming. The series was a monster hit, and remains a cult touchstone to this day. It's one of the most recognizable takes on the beloved Muppets, winning everything from Grammys to Peabodys along the way — and now fans will finally give fans a chance to revisit those glory days with a binge session.

HIGHLIGHTS
Sonic the Hedgehog: One of the last big hits before the COVID-19 era, the live action/CGI hybrid film based on the classic SEGA hero broke through the video game movie curse and was a bona fide hit. Now it's hitting streaming, so you can revisit all the action, twists and Jim Carrey's positively bonkers take on Doctor Robotnik.
Into the Dark: "Tentacles": Hulu's fairly long-running horror anthology returns with a new episode, telling a psychosexual horror thriller starring Dana Drori, Casey Deidrick, Evan Williams and Kasey Elise. The story itself follows a new relationship that quickly devolves into a horror tale, and puts a twist on gender roles in the process.

APPLE TV+
There's not a ton of big genre stuff hitting Apple's upstart streamer this month, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality. Get ready to head back in time, and up in space, for Season 2 of the alt-history NASA drama For All Mankind. The show is set in the post-Apollo NASA era, but in a world where the Russians beat the U.S. to the moon. So instead of U.S. space exploration sputtering out, it set off a full-on space race with competing moon bases and lots of international drama. The show returns Feb. 19.
PEACOCK
HIGHLIGHTS
Kick-Ass: The 2010 superhero flick, based on the excellent comic of the same name, broke boundaries for the genre when it brought its bone-crunching, street-level brand of butt-kicking to life. The film stars Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Mark Strong and Nicolas Cage as the low-budget Batman the world deserves.
I Am Legend: The prophetic — it did predict Batman vs. Superman, if you'll recall — 2007 zombie-ish Will Smith vehicle is still a compelling little sci-fi tale 14 years later. It was a showcase film for Smith's range as he carves out a life in the post-apocalypse, eventually coming to realize he may be the one who no longer fits in this new world.

Earwig and the Witch: This fresh Studio Ghibli co-production is set in 1990s England,and following a young orphan girl who turns out to be a witch's daughter. For anime fans, the Studio Ghibli clout makes it well worth a look.
Tom & Jerry: Another month, another big theatrical release headed to HBO Max. This family-friendly, live-action spin on the classic cat and mouse cartoon was originally targeted for the big screen — but will now be getting a hybrid release under the studio's 2021 release strategy. Humans joining the titular CGI cat and mouse include Chloë Grace Moretz, Michael Peña, Colin Jost and Ken Jeong.
Static Shock: As Warner Bros. continues to transition its DC catalog to HBO Max, fans get another treat this month. The animated Static Shock series is hitting the service, making the jump from DC Universe. The early-2000s animated super-series ran for four seasons, telling the teenage superhero adventures of DC hero Virgil Hawkins.
