Looking for a new show to distract you from the winter blahs? Fortunately, there’s no shortage of fresh TV premieres on the horizon this month, including a Netflix limited series starring Robert DeNiro, the first new daytime soap in years, and the return of a fan-favorite HBO drama. Here are our picks for five must-watch shows in February 2025. 

‘The White Lotus’ Season 3

This month, The White Lotus returns to HBO for a third season of deliciously dark drama. The latest installment of the critically acclaimed Mike White series features a new group of guests checking into a luxury resort in Thailand. An employee promises the vacationers that at the end of their week-long stay, they’ll be “an entirely different person.” But one person won’t be going home at all, based on the images of the now-familiar body bag in the juicy trailer (via YouTube). 

The White Lotus Season 3 premieres Sunday, Feb. 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max. New episodes release weekly.   

‘Suits L.A.’ 

After Suits became a surprise hit on Netflix in the summer of 2023, NBC ordered a City of Angels-set spinoff of the legal drama. Suits: L.A. stars Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former NYC prosecutor who now spends his days representing powerful clients in Los Angeles. Suits creator Aaron Korsh is a writer and executive producer of the new show, which he says is “100% its own thing” but does “overlap” with the original series (via Us Weekly). Specifically, fans can expect to see Suits alum Gabriel Macht reprise his role of Harvey Specter in the new show. 

Suits: L.A. premieres Sunday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock. 

‘Beyond the Gates’ 

CBS is shaking up the TV landscape with Beyond the Gates, the first new daytime soap opera to air on a major U.S. broadcast network since Passions debuted in 1999. It’s also the first soap with a primarily Black cast since Generations, which aired from 1989 to 1991 on NBC. Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy suburb outside of Washington, D.C. At the center of this posh gated community is the wealthy and powerful Dupree family. But “behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered,” according to CBS’ description of the show. 

Beyond the Gates premieres Monday, Feb. 24 at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on CBS. Episodes will stream live and an on-demand Paramount+. 

‘Zero Day’ 

Oscar-winner Robert DeNiro plays an ex-president tasked with identifying the perpetrators of a deadly cyber attack in the political thriller Zero Day. As George Mullen searches for the truth, he confronts disinformation and government and business leaders who are all focused on their own agenda. The limited series cast also includes Jesse Plemons, Connie Britton, Angela Bassett, and Lizzy Caplan. 

Zero Day premieres Feb. 20 on Netflix. 

‘Apple Cider Vinegar’ 

Kaitlyn Dever plays Belle Gibson, an Australian influencer who faked cancer in Netflix’s true-crime limited series Apple Cider Vinegar. The show, which the streamer describes as “a true-ish story based on a lie,” is inspired by the real-life Gibson, who claimed to have cured her terminal brain cancer through a strict health and wellness regimen. Alicia Debnam-Carey plays the fictional Milla Blake, Gibson’s friend (and later rival), who has also been promoting the cancer-fighting properties of food on Instagram. 

Apple Cider Vinegar premieres Feb. 6 on Netflix.
