Netflix June 2021 - The Best New Movies And TV Shows To Watch
Summer is nearly here, and while everyone may be gearing up for a season of outdoor activities, it's also important to get all your upcoming Netflix binge-watches on the calendar. There will be plenty of wistfully lazy afternoons and late-night get togethers that demand the perfect movie or TV show to complete the vibe. Thankfully, the month of June will see tons of exciting new entries to Netflix's already enviable catalogue.
From fresh seasons of some of your favorite Netflix Original series to classic films being made available for you to enjoy, there's no shortage of options on offer starting on June 1. Don't get too sidetracked by all the new arrivals, though. There are also a ton of great properties leaving Netflix throughout June that you'll want to make sure you don't miss before you can no longer hit play.
Here's all the best stuff arriving to — and departing from — Netflix in June 2021.
Several of Netflix's most popular original series have new seasons coming in June
June will see several well-loved Netflix original series returning for new scintillating seasons. Fans of the soapy Spanish boarding school drama "Elite" are in for a particularly exciting month. Not only is the series' fourth season dropping on June 18, but leading up to it, Netflix will be releasing four short series focusing on individual characters aptly titled "Elite Short Stories." Their release kicks off on June 14.
Elite isn't the only European hit returning in June. Everyone's favorite gentleman burglar will be back on the prowl on June 11 when "Lupin: Part 2" premieres, while the British mystery "The A List" will return for its long-awaited second season on June 25. Across the bond, the Canadian zombie thriller "Black Summer," which just thrilled fans with a new promotional trailer, is also rising for a second season, which will premiere on June 17. Also make sure to mark June 18 on the calendar, which is when the Chinese romantic drama "The Rational Life" makes its Netflix debut.
And if all the zombies and tumultuous secrets leave you craving something a little more sunny and frivolous, don't worry. Season 2 of the bodacious reality competition series "Too Hot to Handle" arrives on June 23.

June is a great month to check out Netflix's original movie options
From heartfelt family comedies to slick foreign thrillers, Netflix has an original movie for just about any occasion in the month of June. Fans of cinematic trysts will feel particularly catered to thanks to the June 3 release of Swedish drag comedy "Dancing Queens," the Iliza Shlesinger starring rom-com "Good on Paper," out on June 23, and the June 2 premiere of the Brazilian vacation romp "Carnaval."
For more serious fare, make sure to catch "Tragic Jungle," a languid and mysterious period piece set in rural Belize and Mexico in the 1920s. It premieres on June 9, the same day as the Gina Rodriguez and Jennifer Jason Leigh starring sci-fi thriller "Awake." If you need to zap back to some laughs, there's always the audacious animated satire "America: The Motion Picture," releasing June 30, and Kevin Hart's parenthood dramedy "Fatherhood," out on June 18, to look forward to.
Finally, the original schoolgirl superhero has a massive two-part movie event arriving on June 3. "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie: Part 1 / Part 2" is sure to thrill fans of the cartoon classic, but if that's not enough anime for you, Netflix has even more coming in June.

Don't miss the Netflix original anime, documentary, and stand-up titles coming in June
Netflix has several original anime offerings ready to drop. "Trese" is a spooky supernatural series inspired by a popular Filipino comic of the same name that's premiering on June 11. You can also catch a unique take on the feared and beloved giant lizard with the June 24 premiere of "Godzilla Singular Point," as well as the high fantasy adventure "Record of Ragnarok," release date to be announced.
The streamer is also getting a bevy of mind-expanding documentaries in the month of June. The meditation masters at Headspace have a new doc coming out on June 15 titled "Headspace: Unwind Your Mind." It should pair nicely with "Human: The World Within," an exploration of what it means to be alive and kicking that's set to release on June 4. On the other side of the documentary spectrum, true crime fans have "Murder by the Coast" and "Sophie: A Murder in West Cork" arriving on June 23 and June 30.
If stand-up is your thing, Netflix has something for you, as well. June 3 will see the premiere of the latest special from one of Mexico's most popular comedians with "Alan Saldaña: Locked Up."

June is the month for cult classic sitcoms and reality competition series on Netflix
Netflix originals aren't the only thing you'll have to keep you entertained. Beginning on June 1, the streamer will have all three seasons of the cult classic sitcom "Happy Endings" available to binge for first-time viewers and long-time fans of the series alike. Amahzing! Lovers of a quality TV comedy should also check out the fifth and final season of Canadian series "Kim's Convenience." It drops on June 2.
There are a few other additions of note. The seventh season of reality competition series "Alone" introduces a new set of contestants who will try and survive solo in the frigid Canadian Arctic. It drops on Netflix on June 7. Later in the month, you can catch up on Season 3 of The CW's reboot of witchy sibling drama "Charmed," which arrives June 19.
Those with kids, or who are still kids at heart, also have a few series to look forward to. June 1 sees the Netflix premiere of the cozy and colorful "CoComelon: A Sunny Day for Play," as well as Season 1 of the '90s animated series "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog."

Netflix has a bevvy of classic films ready to arrive in June
Netflix movie nights will be rocking in June. In the mood for a quality rom-com? The Oscar winning "Silver Linings Playbook" is available on June 17 and "What Women Want" drops on the first of the month. If you're looking for something a bit more thrilling, June 1 will also see the release of "Hannibal," which famously does not star Jodie Foster, and "Flightplan," which famously does. You can also get some western themed jolts on June 1 courtesy of the 19th century American frontier set horror-thriller "The Wind."
Why not a classic movie night? The Coen brothers' "The Big Lebowski," coming-of-age comedy "Stand By Me," and beloved family drama "The Joy Luck Club" are all available on June 1. Or perhaps you want a theme night that's a bit more specific. June 1 also sees the release of two works from Cameron Diaz's oeuvre, the uproarious "Bad Teacher" and tender "In Her Shoes."
If you're just looking for laughs, wait until the end of the month when the stand-up specials "George Lopez: Why You Crying?" and "Trevor Noah: Lost in Translation" drop on June 30.

Watch these movies and TV shows before they leave Netflix in June 2021
If there's something waiting in your queue, don't hesitate to hit play, because there are a lot of quality titles leaving Netflix in June. Prioritize checking out Season 6 of "Alone" and the canceled-too-soon NBC series "Hannibal," as they leave on June 1 and June 4, respectively. Also don't drag your feet finishing up that binge of sketch comedy phenomenon "Portlandia." All eight seasons will be packing up and moving on June 9.
The month also sees the departure of coming-of-age film "20th Century Women" on June 27 and the live-action adaptation "Bratz: The Movie" on June 28. June 30 is a veritable massacre of titles. The end of the month will see an end to the original two seasons of "Twin Peaks," the iconic musicals "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Moulin Rouge!," both "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later," and all three "Back to the Future" movies.
That's a lot of great stuff leaving, but thankfully, Netflix has even more enjoyable new titles coming in June.
