What's New On Netflix In June 2025? 9 Best TV Shows And Films To Stream This Month
It's officially the first month of summer… meaning, naturally, it's time to hole up indoors to stream a host of new Netflix goodies.
The weather might be warming up, but with the return of some TV mega-hits and a host of gripping new documentaries, it's safe to say we're still going to be racking up some hours on the streaming giant this month.
From a brand new crime drama and timely documentaries to the return of some of our fave bingeable watches, there's something for everyone this month.
Here are our seven top picks to stream this June…
Tell me more: Compared to the likes of Squid Game (more on that in a sec) and Stranger Things, Ginny & Georgia is one of Netflix's more low-key hits – its second season is still among the most-watched originals in the platform's history.
Centring around a tight-knit small family including the titular mum and her teenage daughter, the comedy-drama sees them planning to restart their lives in a new town following a death… and it quickly emerges that this is a family with secrets.
Netflix says: 'It's always been Ginny and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this.
'Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove – is the two of them against the world something Ginny really wants to sign up for?'
Tell me more: Tyler Perry's loyalty to Netflix is showing no signs of wavering, having released new series She The People on the streamer only last month.
He's linking up with the streamer yet again for a new thriller movie, starring Taraji P. Henson, who portrays a single mother struggling to care for her unwell daughter before she's pushed to the brink while trying to hold it all together.
Netflix says: 'A single mother watches her desperate day spiral into chaos, becoming the prime suspect in a crime she never meant to commit – and suddenly, her survival depends on the one thing she's never been able to trust: the people around her.'
Tell me more: In November 2021 10 people died and hundreds more were injured after a crowd crush at Travis Scott's Astroworld festival in Houston, Texas.
After a slew of lawsuits followed, the impact of the tragedy is still being felt by many. The latest instalment in Netflix's Trainwreck anthology attempts to unpack what happened at the music event four years later.
Netflix says: 'Featuring exclusive interviews with survivors, paramedics and festival staff, this documentary examines the 2021 Astroworld tragedy and its aftermath.'
Tell me more: It was the story that gripped the world for four agonising days in June 2023 when a submersible went missing in the Atlantic on a dive to the Titanic wreckage.
This new Netflix original documentary unpacks how the tragic mission ended in catastrophe and claimed five lives.
Netflix says: 'OceanGate's Titan tourist submersible imploded in 2023 on a deep-sea dive to the Titanic. This documentary details how a bold vision ended in tragedy.'
Tell me more: The first season of this Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy, introduced us to Luke and Emma Brenner, a father-and-daughter duo who were each hiding from the other that they're actually CIA agents.
After drawing in viewers first time around, the story continues in the new season, which has been extended even further.
Netflix says: 'Luke Brunner is a veteran CIA operative who, up until recently, was on the verge of retirement.
'After his last mission in saving another operative - who just so happened to be his daughter - he's back and face to face with new villains. This one is an old flame from Luke's past who threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn't destroy his life first.'
Tell me more: After waiting three whole years between seasons one and two, the third and final season of the K-drama phenomenon is already back, just six months after we devoured its action-packed return.
We can expect to find out what happened after that nail-biting insurrection (and shocking sudden death) and find out if Gi-hun, once and for all, will have what it takes to bring down the Squid Game empire.
Netflix says: 'A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal – Squid Game season three picks up in the aftermath of season two's bloody cliffhanger. Although Gi-hun is at his lowest point yet, the Squid Game stops for no one. 'So Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences.'
Tell me more: After season one gripped us with its intimate and – at times – shocking look behind the scenes into the high pressure world of the famous American football cheer squad, season two is set to follow the 2024-2025 cohort chasing a coveted spot.
Expect higher kicks, bigger splits and pom poms aplenty.
Netflix says: 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season two will chronicle the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from nerve-wracking auditions and gruelling training camp all the way through the high-energy NFL 2024–25 season.'
Tell me more: From Dawson's Creek, The Vampire Diaries and Scream creator Kevin Williamson, this brand new crime drama follows a prominent North Carolina family as their fishing empire is threatened.
Supposedly inspired by true events, it's already been called an Ozark-meets-Bloodline, starring Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist and Jake Weary.
Netflix says: 'A prominent North Carolina fishing family wades into treacherous waters to keep their crumbling business empire afloat.'
Tell me more: As families still seek justice for the devastating West London tower block fire that claimed the lives of 72 people, those at the heart of the tragedy examine what happened and the investigation that followed.
Netflix says: 'Survivors, witnesses and experts tell the story of the tragic fire that engulfed a residential tower block in London — and the investigation that ensued.'

Book Review: Michael Luo tells the harrowing story of Chinese exclusion in America
The history of Chinese immigrants in America has always been about much more than one particular ethnic group. As Michael Luo's 'Strangers in the Land: Exclusion, Belonging and the Epic Story of the Chinese in America' demonstrates, understanding America's efforts to keep Chinese laborers out, and the violence enacted against those who stayed in, is essential to understanding the evolution of America's immigration system as we know it today. That's because restrictions against Chinese immigrants represented the first major flex in the modern era of the federal government's power to control its borders. Chinese laborers were the first group to be barred from the entire country based on national origin, and lawsuits involving this group were often major tests of constitutional liberties — most notably the Supreme Court case of Wong Kim Ark in 1898, which established the right to birthright citizenship. Time and time again, the treatment of this minority group served as a test of America's ability to live up to its own ideals of equality. As Massachusetts Sen. George Frisbie Hoar noted when he spoke out against the exclusionary legislation of the 1880s: 'We go boasting of our democracy, and our superiority, and our strength. The flag bears the stars of hope to all nations. A hundred thousand Chinese land in California and everything is changed.... The self-evident truth becomes a self-evident lie.' Luo's book covers over a century of history, from the 1840s to 1965. Immigration from China was largely unfettered at first, and Chinese laborers were essential to building the transcontinental railroad system — a truly epic part of the story, with thrilling descriptions of how men dangled in baskets off 2,000-foot precipices and set off charges that blasted open whole mountains. One witness wrote: 'When the debris had ceased to fall, the echoes were still reporting among the distant hills.' However, unemployment crises in the 1870s led white workers to jump on Chinese labor as the ultimate economic scapegoat. Chinese workers faced near-constant hate and harassment, ranging from the daily humiliation of stone-throwing children to outright massacres by angry mobs. Luo spends chapter after chapter meticulously documenting the disturbing details of 19th-century pogroms and race riots against Chinese communities in places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and Seattle. Despite the ugly violence, Luo also takes care to document the actions of good men and women who stood up to the mob. Take Charles Andrew Huntington, a 73-year-old reverend in Eureka, California, who helped stop a massacre against Chinese residents in 1885. He lectured an enraged crowd: 'If Chinamen have no character, white men ought to have some.' Fanatics still ran every Chinese person out of town. A Chinese Christian, Charley Way Lum, had stopped by Huntington's house to pray before he left, when men burst in and put a rope around his neck. Another minister, C.E. Rich, intervened: 'If you hang him, you'll hang him over my dead body.' Lum escaped on a ship to San Francisco. Anti-Chinese sentiment enjoyed widespread popularity among both parties and played a major role in national politics, as it was considered key to winning the electoral votes of the West Coast. Starting with the Page Act of 1875, Congress started passing Chinese exclusion laws that grew more draconian every year. The Page Act targeted Chinese women, several years earlier than Chinese men, due to the widespread prejudice that most of them were sex workers. Anti-Chinese fervor culminated in the 1892 Geary Act, which required every Chinese person in the U.S. to register with the government or be deported. Immigration restrictions began to ease only when China became an ally in World War II – showing how much the vagaries of the shifting geopolitical winds can blow back on people at home. One shortcoming of the book is that Luo devotes so many pages to documenting what was done to Chinese immigrants that there's comparatively little time spent on what they did for themselves, on who they were as individuals beyond victimhood. A few compelling portraits do stand out: men like Yung Wing, an avid football player and Yale graduate who devoted his life to helping boys from China receive a Western education; Joseph Tape, who fought for his daughter's right to enter public school in San Francisco; and Mamie Louise Leung of Los Angeles, the first Asian-American reporter to work at a major newspaper. The fact that Chinese-Americans remained in the United States at all, despite widespread prejudice and the whole force of federal immigration law working to keep them out at every turn, speaks to the incredible tenacity of the community. One anecdote encapsulates this determined spirit: a Chinese coal miner, Lao Chung, was shot during an 1885 attack in Rock Springs, Wyoming. He survived and continued working for decades, the bullet still lodged in his back. — Luo was a national writer at The Associated Press from 2001-03 but has not met the reviewer, who joined in 2022. ___ AP book reviews:

Head To These Hotels On The Coast Of Maine This Sumer
Inn by the Sea Inn by the Sea The coast of Maine is my idea of what summertime is all about, from clambakes on the rocky shore to falling asleep to the sound of seagulls. Here are three of my favorite resorts. Just seven miles from Portland's Old Port, Inn by the Sea gets my vote for the best example of understated luxury on the Maine coast. The property, bathed in sea breezes and wisps of morning fog, overlooks Crescent Beach, a mile-long stretch of coastline. You reach the beach via a boardwalk through a wooded grove and discover a strand that's perfect for shelling, long walks, and yes, swimming when the cold waters warm up a bit. I love the rooms here, which are bright, artfully decorated, and elegantly appointed. There are 62 of them, as well as Garden Suites, Loft Suites, Beach Suites, and Cove Suites, many of them offering ocean views. Inn by the Sea is renowned for being both kid-friendly and dog-friendly, and the Inn's restaurant, Sea Glass, has long been one of the state's top restaurants, continuing to uphold its culinary excellence under its new chef, Ramiz Jasic. If wandering through the property's extensive perennial gardens isn't calming enough, there's a pool and a spa for deep relaxation. A short drive away is Portland Head Light, the state's best-known lighthouse, famously depicted by Edward Hopper. Bluebird Ocean Point Inn Bluebird Ocean Point Inn Set in Boothbay Harbor's Ocean Point community overlooking Card Cove, The Bluebird Ocean Point Inn is a good base for exploring Midcoast Maine. The interiors of the Bluebird Ocean Point Inn were designed by Elder & Ash. Accommodations include king and double queen rooms in the nine cottages, as well as suites and multi-bedroom suites. There's plenty of dining in town, but the hotel offers the Ocean Point Kitchen and OPK Bar on-site. Boothbay is the essence of the Maine coast and the heart of the Midcoast Region, a haven for sailors and the gateway to Monhegan Island, which lies about 10 miles offshore. The town is filled with shops, boutiques, and restaurants, and offers the Maine State Aquarium and the nationally acclaimed Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Chebeague island Inn Chebeague island Inn Chebeague Island lies off the coast of Yarmouth, which is located just north of Portland. Accessible via a 20-minute ferry ride, Chebeague is about three and a half miles long and about half that wide at its widest point. The home of about 400 year-round residents, who include fishermen and lobstermen, it's long been a haven for those seeking peace, quiet and an escape from the heat, a world away from Portland. The Chebeague Island Inn dates back to the 1920s and has one of the most inviting porches you will find anywhere on the Atlantic seaboard. The lawn has Adirondack chairs and slopes down to Casco Bay. There is the nine-hole Great Chebeague Golf Course, clay tennis courts, lawn games, and a fire pit. Hamilton Beach is a 10-minute stroll away. Now affiliated with two of Portland's best restaurants, Twelve and Evo Kitchen + Bar, the food at the hotel restaurant is a high point of any stay. As for the guest rooms, they're painted white, flooded with light, and very simply designed. There's WiFi, but no TVs or phones. Nor is there any air conditioning. You just leave your windows open for the cool sea breezes.
