New to TVNZ+: February 8-14

Invisible Boys is a drama about a circle of gay teens in small-town Western Australia, where one is outed on social media after an encounter with an older, married man.

It’s set against the backdrop of Australia’s 2017 same-sex plebiscite and streams here the day after its February 13 premiere across the Tasman on Stan.

“So pumped to tell you this series absolutely does justice to my book,” author Holden Sheppard says on social media.

“These phenomenally talented actors all knock it out of the park with superb performances, every single one, all bringing my characters to life in a way I could have only ever dreamed of!”

Keeping it Aussie is the season two premiere of NCIS: Sydney (February 8). Reads the blurb: “The cases are bigger, locations more exotic, the stakes much higher.”

The series will stream weekly but available to binge is every episode of post-apocalyptic martial arts drama Into the Badlands (February 12).

Also new are the NFL Super Bowl LIX (midday, February 10), a raft of linear debuts on TVNZ 2 and from February 11 the movies Dream Horse and Escape Room: Tournament of Champions.
