New on Netflix: 7 Movies and Shows to Watch This Week (Feb. 26-March 3)

February is over and March has arrived. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the months go by. This week, we've got a slew of fun new releases coming to Netflix, including the buzz-worthy "Spaceman," starring Adam Sandler.

"Spaceman" follows Sandler as an astronaut sent to the far reaches of the solar system to collect mysterious dust. As his life on Earth is falling apart, he finds solace and resolution in the creatures on board. Co-starring Carey Mulligan, Paul Dano, Kunal Nayyar, and Isabella Rossellini, the film will be another chance for Sandler to showcase his authentic acting skills.

There is also a sequel to 2019's Code 8, Code 8 Part II, starring Robbie Amell and Stephen Amell. It stars the last citizen with special powers left in Lincoln City. After a teenager witnesses her brother killed by corrupt police, she asks Connor Reed (Amell) and Garrett Kelton (Stephen Amell) to unravel the cover-up.

But that's not all: there are still plenty of options for late February and early March. To see the rest of what's coming to the streaming platform, be sure to check out the following day-by-day roundup of Netflix's new shows of the week.

The mysterious death of journalist Danny Casolaro shocked the nation. Authorities ruled it a suicide, but those close to Casolaro refused to accept this explanation, convinced that his untimely death was the price for digging too deeply into "Octopus." Casolaro believed that it was the "octopus" that linked stolen government secrets, a series of murders, and numerous political scandals. This documentary peels back some of the layers of this multifaceted mystery and gets to the heart of who or what tried to keep Casolaro's mouth shut, or if it was all a hoax.
