February might be the shortest month, but it’s still jam packed with new and returning TV shows.
From true crime docuseries to comedies with returning TV vets such as Joel McHale — and a new vehicle for “This Is Us” favorite Milo Ventimiglia — there are a slew of can’t-miss offerings across all genres.
Here’s a rundown.
“Murf The Surf”
Directed by RJ Cutler (“Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry”), this four-part true-crime documentary covers the life of Jack Roland Murphy — aka “Murf the Surf” — who led a band of suave “surfer dudes” into an infamous jewel heist at the Museum of Natural History in 1964.
Where to watch: Feb. 5 on MGM+.
“Not Dead Yet”
“Jane The Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez returns in a new comedy about a thirty-something woman who feels like she screwed up her life. She’s back in her hometown after leaving for a few years (to pursue a relationship that didn’t work out), and now the only job she can find is writing obituaries. Co-starring Hannah Simone (“New Girl”) and Lauren Ash (“Superstore”).
Where to watch: Feb. 8 on ABC (8:30 p.m).

Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is back in this “Dexter” for the Gen-Zers — and his body count keeps rising.

This latest season shows Joe starting a new life in London … and developing a new object of obsession.
Where to watch: Feb. 10 on Netflix.
