Netflix is dropping a massive lineup in June 2025, and it’s a mix of farewells to fan favorites, fresh hidden gems, and some serious emotional punches you won’t see coming. I combed through the entire release schedule and picked out the 10 titles you absolutely need to watch from the jaw-dropping conclusion of Squid Game, to an underrated Christmas comedy sneaking into your summer.
Best New Movies & Shows Coming to Netflix (June 2025)
Squid Game Season 3
Squid Game is back. And this time, it’s not just about survival. It’s about ending the game — or being destroyed by it.
The series follows Seong Gi-hun, a desperate father who survived two rounds of the most brutal and sadistic survival game on Earth. But now? He’s no longer fighting to escape — he’s fighting to destroy the game from the inside.
In Season 3, Gi-hun has become a prisoner of the Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, in a twist that flips everything we thought we knew. What began as a story of debt and despair now becomes a war for redemption and justice.
This final season is being billed as the most psychological and emotionally intense yet. No more games — just consequences. Expect betrayals, revelations, and a finale that could define Netflix’s legacy in original content. Stream on Netflix starting June 27
Ginny & Georgia Season 3
The series follows Georgia Miller, a fiercely protective single mom who built a seemingly perfect life in Wellsbury — only for it to crash down on her wedding day, when she’s arrested for murder.
Now in Season 3, the fallout is unbearable. Georgia is behind bars. Her daughter Ginny is spiraling, torn between loyalty and betrayal. And the entire Miller family is forced to face a past they thought they’d outrun.
This show is a rollercoaster of emotions — witty, heartbreaking, suspenseful. And this season? It’s about survival in a different way. Not in games, but in relationships. In forgiveness. And in the fight to rebuild a broken family. Stream on Netflix starting June 5
Our Time (2025)
On the international slate this month, Our Time stands out like a shimmering anomaly. The film follows a married scientist duo in 1960s Mexico who manage to build the impossible — a time machine. But this isn’t just a sci-fi thriller. It’s also a heartfelt romantic comedy with brains, culture, and conflict.
When the couple jumps to the year 2025, the future hits them like a meteor. The technology, the culture, the way people love — everything is different. And while one of them adapts quickly, excited by the new world, the other becomes lost in it, nostalgic for a time where things were simpler… and perhaps more meaningful.
Starring Lucero, Benny Ibarra, and Renata Vaca, this film mixes warm romance with deep philosophical questions about time, change, and love. It’s visually rich, emotionally sharp, and deeply original — proving once again that Mexico’s cinema scene is one to watch.
Coming to Netflix: June 11th
Grenfell: Uncovered
The documentary follows the events surrounding the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London — a horrific disaster that claimed 72 lives and shook the world. Grenfell: Uncovered aims to do more than just document the fire. It peels back the layers of institutional neglect, policy failure, and human suffering that led to — and followed — that fateful night.
This isn’t an easy watch. Survivors, firefighters, and bereaved families speak directly to the camera, their grief raw and unfiltered. The decisions that turned a public housing block into a deathtrap are laid bare with damning clarity.
I saw an early clip at Next on Netflix 2025, and once it faded to black, there was complete silence in the room. No one breathed. No one moved. The weight of it stayed with me.
If handled with the grace it promises, Grenfell: Uncovered could be one of the most important documentaries of the year — a call to accountability, justice, and memory. Don’t miss it.
Coming to Netflix: June 20th
Piece by Piece (2024)
You’ve seen music documentaries. You’ve seen LEGO movies. But you’ve never seen them combined quite like this.
The film follows the life and career of Pharrell Williams, told entirely through LEGO animation. Yes, really. It’s part music documentary, part biopic, and all creativity. With vivid color, clever storytelling, and brilliant use of visual metaphors, Piece by Piece breaks down Pharrell’s journey from Virginia Beach to global superstardom.
It’s weird. It’s beautiful. And it works.
While the film didn’t exactly crush the box office — probably due to its niche presentation — critics and audiences alike praised its innovation, storytelling, and emotional honesty. If you’ve ever been moved by Happy, Get Lucky, or any of Pharrell’s countless hits, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss.
Coming to Netflix: June 7th
The Intern
The film follows Ben Whittaker, a retired widower who becomes a senior intern at a fast-growing fashion startup. He’s old-school, soft-spoken, and maybe a little out of touch — but beneath that polite exterior is a man with a lot to give.
His boss, Jules Ostin (played by Anne Hathaway), is brilliant, overworked, and struggling to keep her life together as her company soars. Their unlikely friendship becomes the heart of this feel-good story.
This movie is pure warmth. It’s not about flashy drama or huge twists — it’s about purpose, mentorship, and the quiet beauty of human connection. Watch it when you need something that lifts your spirit and restores your faith in people.
Coming to Netflix: June 22nd
Tires Season 2
The series follows Will, a well-meaning guy trying to turn around his family’s failing auto shop. His biggest challenge? His cousin Shane — played by Shane Gillis — who’s reckless, inappropriate, and hilariously unpredictable.
After a surprise viral marketing win in Season 1, the shop is doing better — but success only adds fuel to the chaos. Shane is more annoying than ever. The staff is in over their heads. And Will? He’s just trying to hold it all together.
If you love shows with workplace antics, wild personalities, and that gritty, blue-collar humor, Tires is your jam. It’s fast, funny, and oddly heartwarming. Stream on Netflix starting June 5
The Waterfront
The series follows Cane Buckley, a young man from a once-prominent North Carolina fishing family now drowning in debt and desperation. His father, Harlan, is out of options — so he makes a dangerous deal with a local drug lord, Grady, played by Topher Grace.
As the Buckley family gets pulled deeper into the criminal underworld, loyalties are tested and lives unravel.
This is the kind of show that sneaks up on you — dark, slow-burning, and full of tension. It’s part Southern drama, part crime thriller, and all heart-pounding intensity. If Ozark and Bloodline had a baby, it’d look a lot like The Waterfront. Stream on Netflix starting June 19
Tyler Perry’s Straw
The film follows Janiyah, a struggling single mom played by Taraji P. Henson, who walks into a bank one morning and refuses to leave until they cash a check — one she knows will bounce.
Why? Because her daughter is sick, her home is gone, and this check is her last chance.
What begins as a desperate act becomes a tense hostage situation, drawing in Nicole (Sherri Shepherd), the teller trying to keep things calm, and Detective Raymond (Teyana Taylor), a cop with a compassionate past of her own.
This isn’t just a thriller. It’s a cry for help — a raw look at poverty, motherhood, and the system’s failures. Tyler Perry strips back all the gloss for something grounded, human, and unforgettable.
Stream on Netflix starting June 6
The Night Before
The film follows Ethan, Isaac, and Chris — three best friends who’ve made a tradition of spending Christmas Eve together in wild, hilarious fashion. But this year is different. They’re growing up. Moving on. And this could be the last night like this.
So they go all out — one final shot at legendary memories, with karaoke gone wrong, unexpected drug trips, awkward encounters, and a mission to crash the city’s most exclusive holiday party: the Nutcracka Ball.
It’s outrageous, over-the-top, and somehow deeply touching. Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Anthony Mackie have amazing chemistry, and the laughs are balanced by some really sweet moments about friendship, adulthood, and letting go.
It might be June, but this is the kind of comedy you can unwrap any time. Stream on Netflix starting June 1
So, there you have it — 7 must-watch shows and movies hitting Netflix this June.
