The middle of February brings a few new and returning major streaming shows, and this week is no exception, with some anticipated picks!

Every week I hunt around to see what's new on all the biggest and best streaming services, to bring you a curated list of the top picks. This week I'm looking at ones debuting between Saturday, February 15 and Friday, February 21.

Some patterns emerge: we've got two shows hitting their third seasons (and this list only just missed out Yellowjackets season 3 which comes out a day ahead of the cut-off). There are also multiple sports shows: two docs and a fictional animated one. Plus more.

So here's what you need to watch this week:

The White Lotus season 3 — Max / Sky
