The slate of new movies on Amazon Prime Video in the UK for February 2026 is a fascinating cross-section of genres, ranging from high-concept romantic comedies and gritty historical action to intimate documentary portraits of cultural icons.

Welcome to another monthly breakdown of what’s hitting the small screen. As we shake off the last of the January blues, Netflix is stepping up its game with a February slate that feels remarkably diverse. We’ve got a heavy-hitting documentary that’s already the talk of the film festival circuit, a high-octane Brazilian spin-off, some trademark Tyler Perry chaos, and a Spanish psychological thriller that might just be the hidden gem of the season.

From his upbringing as a wee lad in Scotland, through his time playing for Celtic, then Liverpool, onto his Player/Manager role at the latter, this Kenny Dalglish documentary paints a heartfelt picture of an honourable and very talented footballing icon.
