While many streaming services treat February as a transitional month, Acorn TV does the opposite.

For U.S. subscribers, February 2026 is one of Acorn TV’s strongest months of the year, combining a fully confirmed schedule, a brand-new original series, multiple season finales, and several high-value binge drops.

Known for its curated focus on British, Irish, Australian, and international crime dramas, Acorn TV uses February to reward loyal viewers rather than chase short-term buzz. The result is a lineup that feels deliberate, satisfying, and easy to follow.

Below is the complete Acorn TV U.S. schedule for February 2026, followed by highlights explaining what’s worth prioritizing and why.

February 2026 Highlights: What to Watch First on Acorn TV (U.S.)

The Family Next Door
The Family Next Door

Acorn TV’s February 2026 lineup is built around one smart idea: give crime-and-mystery fans a clear “watch path”. You’ve got a buzzy new mystery premiere, two ongoing originals that hit their finales the same night, plus several binge-ready library drops that can fill the gaps in between. Here’s how to tackle the month, starting with the most essential picks.

1) Start Here: The Family Next Door (New Series Premiere)

If you only try one brand-new title on Acorn this month, make it The Family Next Door, premiering Monday, February 23. It’s the platform’s headline “new” event for February, positioned to pull viewers who want a fresh mystery without committing to a long, multi-season saga.

Why it’s the first click:

  • It’s based on Sally Hepworth’s bestselling novel, which gives it built-in book-to-screen curiosity.

  • The premise is classic Acorn: a newcomer arrives in a tight-knit neighborhood, and a personal obsession with an old mystery starts turning neighbors into suspects.

  • It’s designed for “one more episode” momentum: small community, big secrets, and suspicion that spreads fast.

Best for: viewers who loved tense suburban mysteries and want a clean entry point into February’s lineup.

2) Your Weekly Anchor: My Life Is Murder Season 5 (New Episodes → Finale)

February is also the home stretch for My Life Is Murder Season 5, with new episodes every Monday and the season finale landing February 23. If Acorn TV has a comfort-food detective series, this is it: witty lead, breezy pacing, and cases that move without getting too grim.

What makes Season 5 feel “must-watch” this month:

  • The season promises bigger, more personal stakes as old threats re-emerge and new secrets put Alexa Crowe’s world under pressure.

  • It’s a perfect “one episode a week” companion while you binge other titles around it.

Watch plan: start with the most recent episode available on Feb 2, then ride Mondays straight into the finale on Feb 23.

3) For Darker, More Serial Crime: Hidden Assets Season 3 (New Episodes → Finale)

If you prefer your mysteries with more bite and a broader conspiracy feel, Hidden Assets Season 3 is your Monday-night counterbalance—also running weekly through February 23, when it wraps its season finale.

Why it stands out in the February mix:

  • The season launches into high-stakes territory immediately: a brutal murder in Spain that ties back to an Irish case with tragic consequences, pulling investigators into a deeper criminal web.

  • It’s exactly the kind of international, cross-border crime story Acorn subscribers come for: procedural urgency with larger corruption threads underneath.

Best for: fans of European crime dramas that feel more serialized than “case of the week.”

4) Best Instant Binge: Rebus (Seasons 1–3 Box Set Drop)

Rebus
Rebus

Need something you can start tonight and stay with for days? February opens with a huge value add: Rebus Seasons 1–3 dropping as a 10-episode binge on February 2.

Why it’s a prime binge pick:

  • It’s a straightforward “detective-world” commitment: gritty investigations, strong atmosphere, and a long runway to settle into the character and tone.

  • It pairs well with Acorn’s weekly originals: binge Rebus midweek, then come back for Monday drops.

Pro tip: start Rebus early in the month so you’re not choosing between it and the packed Feb 23 week.

5) Scandi Noir Upgrade: Justice: Those Who Kill (Full-Series Binge)

Acorn saves one of its most bingeable “darker mood” options for mid-month. Justice: Those Who Kill arrives as an 8-episode binge on February 16, making it ideal for viewers who want something colder, sharper, and more psychologically intense.

Why it’s worth prioritizing:

  • This is the kind of series that works best when watched in tight bursts—because tone and tension build episode to episode.

  • It’s a great “bridge binge” between Super Bowl week and the big Feb 23 finale/premiere pile-up.

6) Underrated “Cozy Documentary” Binge: Canal Boat Diaries Season 5

Not everything has to be murder and mayhem. Canal Boat Diaries Season 5 drops as a 10-episode binge on February 23—the same day Acorn stacks its biggest scripted moves.

Why it’s a stealth highlight:

  • It’s perfect counterprogramming for viewers who want something soothing and human-scaled alongside the crime lineup.

  • Binge format makes it a strong weekend decompression watch after you finish your finales.

7) Your Friday “Palette Cleanser”: The Graham Norton Show (Weekly Episodes)

Acorn keeps Fridays light with new episodes of The Graham Norton Show Season 33 across February. It’s a useful scheduling choice: after a week of crime, conspiracies, and cliffhangers, you get a reliable, low-effort watch to end the week.

The Best Way to Watch Acorn TV in February 2026 (Simple Plan)

  • Early month binge: Rebus (Feb 2)

  • Weekly must-watches: My Life Is Murder + Hidden Assets (Mondays through Feb 23)

  • Mid-month dark binge: Justice: Those Who Kill (Feb 16)

  • Big finale/premiere day: Feb 23 = The Family Next Door + two finales + Canal Boat Diaries drop

Final Takeaway

Acorn TV doesn’t compete with February blockbusters by volume. It competes by consistency and trust.

With a brand-new original, multiple finales, and several high-quality binge releases, February 2026 stands out as a showcase month for Acorn TV in the U.S. If you value smart mysteries, international crime dramas, and carefully curated programming, this is one of the strongest Acorn lineups in recent memory.
