Fans of The Office — the original British version created by Ricky Gervais, which inspired the U.S. remake starring Steve Carell — will want to stream David Brent: Life on the Road on Netflix. Premiering on Feb. 10, the movie revisits the original Office boss portrayed by Gervais, who is now a travelling salesman chasing his dreams of a musical career. Netflix also has two buzzy new TV series launching on Feb. 3: Riverdale, a modern reinvention of the Archie Comics clan, and Santa Clarita Diet, a dark comedy-horror starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant. CraveTV has the return of Showtime’s financial drama Billions starting on Feb. 19, with the first episode of the show’s second season (new episodes will be added every Sunday). On Feb. 17, rock ’n’ roll fans can start bingeing on the first season of Vinyl, the ’70s-set HBO show co-created by the likes of Martin Scorsese, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, and Sopranos writer and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter.
