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.'

Netflix fans captivated by British thriller 'full of twists and turns' - raving that 'it kept them guessing until the very end' and binge-watching every episode 'in one sitting'
Netflix fans are captivated by a British thriller 'full of twists and turns', gushing about how 'it kept them guessing until the very end' and binge-watching every episode in one sitting. Love Rat, first released to Channel 5 in March last year, follows Emma (Coronation Street 's Sally Lindsay), a woman at a crossroads in later life. Just divorced from husband Pete (Men Behaving Badly's Neil Morrissey) and estranged from her daughter, she grows tired of mundane everyday life. In search of escape, she travels to Cyprus on holiday where she quickly embarks on a whirlwind romance with handsome, rich hotel owner Niko (Gerald Kyd) - but not all is as it seems. Emma suddenly finds herself scammed out of her life savings - and enlists her ex to help get them back. Fans have taken to film review and catalogue site IMDb to admire the four-part series, initially seemingly some fun in the sun, which turns into a psychological thriller. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. One commenter said: 'When you first watch episode one, you think it's going to be about a general love rat romance on holiday, stealing money etc. 'It's from episode two onwards it then becomes so much more!' Another added: 'It's one of the drama highlights of 2024 and certainly one of Channel 5's better drama offerings. 'I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not often these days do I binge watch a show. 'Full of twists and turns. Expect the unexpected. It's loaded with suspense and keeps you guessing until the very end.' Someone else, who could recommend watching it one sitting, said: 'A realistic scenario of psycho narcissistic abuse lurks behind the series' true plot twist. 'This series has moments of suspense well-played. Well done to [the] actors involved in this... Great series.' Love Rat was only uploaded to Netflix last weekend - but it has quickly soared up the charts and is currently the third most-watched programme on the streamer in the UK.

One said: 'Love Rat had potential as a fun thriller but it's let down by poor acting, clunky direction and low-budget production. 'The plot is implausible, the pacing drags and character development is shallow. Sally Lindsay tries her best but the script gives her little to work with.' Speaking to WhatToWatch ahead of the show's release last year, Sally - known as Shelley Unwin on ITV soap Coronation Street - said of her character Emma: 'Stealing your money is horrific but stealing your heart is unforgivable. 'The scam is like an emotional theft. It's about manipulation. Niko's lit fires in her and unleased something that hasn't been there for years and suddenly, he's gone.' She continued: 'We represent the everywoman and everyman this affects. When I was in Cyprus, we heard stories about it happening to people. It's sad how prolific it is.' Her co-star Neil, who plays her ex-husband, agreed, adding he had even fallen victim to a scam once himself. He once received a fake text message saying a parcel had not been delivered - and suddenly found £100 having been taken from his bank account. Neil fortunately managed to get the money back because he contacted his bank quickly: 'You feel foolish but these people are clever.' The popularity of Love Rat comes after another Netflix thriller captured viewers' attention too. The Madness, an eight-part limited series available to watch on the streamer, has been hailed as 'addictive', 'twisty' and 'worthy of a binge'. It delves into the tale of news commentator Muncie Daniels (Colman Domingo) who discovers the dead body of a 'notorious white supremist,' according to the synopsis. He soon finds himself caught up in the homicide investigation and is framed for the murder. The programme has received rave reviews since it premiered back in 2024 and has a respectable 76 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. FandomWire described The Madness as 'a strong political, psychological chess match worthy of a binge'. The Telegraph, meanwhile, rated the series four out of five stars and dubbed it 'instantly addictive'.

TV tonight: Liane Moriarty's moreish drama about a web of family secrets
9pm, BBC One Cold glass of Chardonnay and wraparound cashmere cardy at the ready: it's another bingeable Liane Moriarty adaptation about wealthy women and family secrets, executive produced by Nicole Kidman. Sophie (Teresa Palmer) is a journalist who inherits the property of an ex-boyfriend's relative. Off she heads to Scribbly Gum Island, where the mystery reason behind why Connie (Angela Punch McGregor) chose her and not one of the women in her own family slowly unravels. Hollie Richardson 6.50pm, BBC One After an entertaining, politicised trip around the cosmos, the penultimate episode means serious franchise-lore business and a grand effort to tie this year's themes and secrets together. The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda (Varada Sethu) come home to a changed world. How quickly will they realise the threat they face? Jack Seale 8pm, BBC Two The show is always a blooming pleasure, but it's best enjoyed in this annual highlights show. Monty Don takes a turn round the Grand Pavilion and he's joined by his fellow Gardeners' World presenters Rachel de Thame and Arit Anderson, who stop by to share their favourites. Ellen E Jones 9pm, BBC Two Liza Minnelli has lived a life straight out of a Hollywood script: she tells it herself with vim, candour and delicious wickedness. It starts with her showbiz parents (she cried for eight days when her mother Judy Garland died), then a life-changing meeting with Bob Fosse that led to Cabaret and an Oscar. HR 9pm, Channel 5 His recent BBC interview was just the latest salvo in the war of words between Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace since their uncoupling in 2020. Have they passed the point of no return? A hastily convened crew of royal-watchers speculate. Graeme Virtue 10.10pm, ITV1 Asher Keddie is too good at straddling the fine line between hope and paranoia as she plays Birdie, a fortysomething journalist in a toxic new relationship. We all know she needs to run a mile from skin-crawling Joe (David Wenham) and his grand idea to buy a mansion called Eldorado. But she just wants to believe him so badly. HR Fountain of Youth, out now, Apple TV+ Guy Ritchie channels his inner Indiana Jones – by way of Lara Croft and The Da Vinci Code – in this light-on-its-feet adventure about the hunt for the mythical wrinkle-banishing spring. John Krasinski brings an amiable charm to Luke Purdue, an art thief with a grand plan that involves the reluctant help of his curator sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman) and the deep pockets of the 'embarrassingly' rich but terminally ill Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson). There are coded messages in old master paintings, the raising of the Lusitania and, inevitably, ancient Egyptian tombs in their action-heavy global quest, with Krasinski and Portman sharp and funny as the bickering siblings. Simon Wardell Through a Glass Darkly, 6.45am, Sky Cinema Greats A family on holiday on a Swedish island find their lives reaching crisis point in Ingmar Bergman's brilliantly brooding 1961 drama. Gunnar Björnstrand's writer David is reunited with his adolescent son Minus (Lars Passgård), grownup daughter Karin (an exceptional Harriet Andersson) and her husband, Max Von Sydow's Martin. Karen is in remission from a schizophrenic episode, but as her mental state deteriorates again, the quartet's private despairs about love, God and creativity surface in traumatic fashion. SW Men's Test Cricket: England v Zimbabwe, 10.15am, Sky Sports Main Event Day three of the one-off Test match at Trent Bridge. Racing: Haydock Park, 1pm, ITV1 Headlined by the Temple Stakes.

New on Netflix May 10-16: our editor picks the 7 movies and shows you'll want to binge this week
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix is releasing a busy roster of new TV shows this week, so if you're looking for a worthwhile binge-watch, you're almost definitely going to find something you'd like to see. As What to Watch's streaming editor, I look through everything that Netflix is releasing each week, and create a curated list of the must-watch new additions. This week I've looked at everything arriving between Saturday, May 10 and Friday, May 16 and condensed it down to 7 items. Sometimes the shows I pick end up on our list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies, sometimes they end up being... not so good, but it's often worth checking them out. There was a huge amount of Scandi-Noir on this week's list but I've picked just one for this list; I've aimed for a diverse range of genres and formats to account for everyone. So let's find you something worth bingeing on Netflix this week. American podcaster Tom Segura created bad thoughts, a six-part comedy series which has a pretty unique spin. Each episode takes the basic premise of a movie — a sniper assassin on a task that goes wrong, a musical biopic — and twists them up in a funny way to create something bizarre and unique. Releases on Tuesday, May 13 Netflix tells the overall story of serial killer couple Fred and Rose West in A British Horror Story, adding that subtitle so we won't think it's about a different Fred and Rose West. The three-part docuseries will tell the story of the couple through archival images, interviews with the family of victims and police documentation. We'll learn about their crimes and how they were caught. Releases on Wednesday, May 14 American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden was due to release in March, and so I've included it in this round-up before, but was delayed at the last minute and so now releases on Wednesday, May 14. This three-parter tracks the global manhunt for al-Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden — not just the American side of the story, despite the name. People who followed current events 10 years ago will know how the story ended, but perhaps not every bump in the road. Releases on Wednesday, May 14 Love, Death + Robots is a series of animated short stories, usually science fiction or horror ones. Each one tells a story loosely based around the themes of love, death or robots. In Volume 4 of the series, we'll meet dinosaurs participating in gladiatorial combat, a widespread invasion of the world in miniature form, and cats who are conspiring for evil... as well as 7 more stories of the same ilk in varying animation styles. Releases on Thursday, May 15 The latest live-action manga adaptation to hit Netflix is Bet, which hits the streamer on Thursday. It's a version of a story called Kakegurui which has already seen one live-action version, and is adapted by the same person who made Warrior Nun. Bet is about a fancy boarding school where the kids' social standing is dictated by a secret gambling ring. This system is upset when a Japanese transfer student arrives to the school, who can use her skill at gambling to quickly rise through the rankings. Releases on Thursday, May 15 Secrets We Keep is one of several Scandi-Noir crime dramas landing this week, and it seems to be the one that Netflix is putting more of a push behind. The Danish show is about the disappearance of an au pair in an affluent Copenhagen neighborhood, which sends its families (and their au pairs) into a spiral. The only interested party in the police is a new investigator and she has to team up with one family in particular in order to get to the bottom of a mystery which encompasses the whole community. Releases on Thursday, May 15 Succession gone wrong? Netflix's newest Spanish series releases on Friday, May 16 and it introduces us to a dysfunctional business family. In Rotten Legacy, Federico takes a two-year sabbatical from the company he created in order to recover from an illness. However upon his return he discovers that his two sons have made some sweeping changes to the company and taken it in a direction he hates, so he has to try and reverse their changes while wresting back control. Releases on Friday, May 16
