Netflix is bringing an exciting mix of new content to kick off summer 2018, with everything from original series to beloved classics joining the streaming platform. Let me walk you through the highlights you won’t want to miss.
Must-Watch Netflix Originals
The crown jewel of June’s releases has to be season 2 of “GLOW,” dropping June 29th. If you loved the first season of this women’s wrestling dramedy, you’re in for another round of fantastic 80s nostalgia and compelling character development. Speaking of originals, “Sense8” fans can finally get closure with the series finale special premiering June 8th – it’s been a long wait, but early reviews suggest it’ll be worth it.
Notable Movie Additions
Thor: Ragnarok is thundering its way onto Netflix on June 5th, bringing all the cosmic comedy and action that made it a box office hit. For something completely different, Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives mid-month, giving fans a chance to revisit (or debate) one of the most discussed entries in the saga.
Hidden Gems and Classics
While the blockbusters get the headlines, I’m particularly excited about some under-the-radar additions. The entire “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” is joining the service – perfect for those summer night vibes. And if you’ve never seen “The King’s Speech,” you’re in for a treat as this Oscar winner becomes available for streaming.
Family-Friendly Options
Parents, you’ll want to mark June 15th on your calendar – that’s when “Voltron: Legendary Defender” season 6 drops. It’s been consistently one of Netflix’s best animated series, and this new season promises more of the action and heart that’s made it a family favorite.
Last Call: What’s Leaving
Don’t forget to catch “Men in Black” and “Apocalypse Now” before they leave the platform at the end of the month. These classics are making way for new content, so add them to your watchlist while you can.
Remember, Netflix typically rolls out content throughout the month, not just on the first day. I’d recommend setting reminders for your most anticipated shows and movies – there’s nothing worse than realizing you missed the debut of something you’ve been waiting to watch. And with summer evenings perfect for binge-watching, June’s lineup gives us plenty of reasons to stay in and enjoy some quality streaming time.
