Netflix fans are in for a treat in February as some amazing shows are arriving on the streaming platform. From true story dramas to political thrillers and returning romances, here are the must-watch series you won't want to miss.

WATCH: Will you be tuning into Apple Cider Vinegar?

Kaitlyn Dever in Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar

Inspired by a true story, this upcoming six-parter stars Kaitlyn Dever as Australian wellness influencer Belle Gibson, who claims to have cured her terminal brain cancer through health and wellness. If that sounds unlikely, it's because it is. Belle was never diagnosed with cancer to begin with. 

The synopsis for the show, which is inspired by the book The Woman Who Fooled the World by journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, reads: "Set at the birth of Instagram, Apple Cider Vinegar follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way. All of which would be incredibly inspiring if it were all true.

"This is a true-ish story based on a lie, about the rise and fall of a wellness empire; the culture that built it up and the people who tore it down."

Fans can't wait for the series to land on their screens, with one person sharing their excitement on social media, writing: "I'm so so so excited for this," while another penned: "Highlight of the year!!!"

Apple Cider Vinegar arrives on Netflix on February 6.

The official synopsis reads: "As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambition of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen's unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear."

Fans shared their anticipation on social media, with one person writing: "This looks so good, I'm excited," while another praised the impressive cast list, adding: "I'll be watching for the cast alone."
