One of the most exciting things about subscribing to Netflix is finding out what new titles are coming to the service each month. Finding out what’s leaving Netflix can be slightly soul-crushing, as you realize you’re in the middle of a series that is going to disappear soon, but there’s always hope it will come back one day.
The list of new titles and those exiting Netflix in February 2019 isn’t as dramatic or extensive as the list from January, but there are still some big things coming and going. Take a look at the list below, which includes many new Netflix originals debuting in February.
WHAT’S COMING:

‘Wild Ones’ (2016)
If you’re like me, there’s probably not much you like more than nature documentaries. If so, you’ll want to watch this British nature doc series before it goes away in February. The show has 13 episodes and each entry focuses on a different habitat and the creatures that call it home.
‘100 Day Bach’ (2015)

The series is from New Zealand and follows host Hamish Dodd as he and his team try to plan and build a vacation home — known in that country as a “bach” — in 100 days. Netflix describes the series as “feel-good,” so if you need a pick-me-up, this might be a good one to watch before it goes away on Feb. 4.
‘Backroad Bounty’ (2014)
If you are into shows like History’s “American Pickers” you might want to check this one out before it disappears on Feb. 4. “Backroad Bounty” is a Canadian show that follows two guys with a gift for finding valuables in the clutter of other people’s homes. Both seasons that are on Netflix will be going away.
‘Brojects’ (2016)
Another reality show about DIY projects is this Canadian series with the interesting title, “Brojects.” The name comes from the fact that the hosts are two brothers who work on far-fetched projects together. All 13 episodes of the show’s first season are set to leave Netflix on Feb. 4.

‘Reno My Reno’ (2015)
No, this isn’t a show about “The Biggest Little City in the World.” The “Reno” in this show’s title stands for “renovation.” In the series, a home improvement expert comes to the rescue of overzealous DIY-ers who have gotten in over their heads on a project.
