It’s officially summer, and you know what that means: time to stay inside and stream some stuff! To be frank, Netflix isn’t kicking off the season with the biggest bang – the platform mostly seems concerned with previewing the upcoming World Cup via scores of soccer (sorry, football) content, so if that’s your thing, then you’re set. Otherwise, the buzziest title might be Michael Jackson: The Verdict, a docuseries acting as a counterpoint to the recent blockbuster biopic’s abbreviated version of the King of Pop’s life story. Much more fun highlights include the Jennifer Lopez romcom Office Romance, the Mexican stop-motion animated feature I Am Frankelda, the second season of the live-action anime Avatar: The Last Airbender, the John Cena-Eric Andre buddy comedy Little Brother, the Oscar Isaac-led In the Hand of Dante and Andre Is an Idiot, a documentary about cancer. (We swear it’s fun, or at least heartening, just trust us!)

Michael Jackson: The Verdict
Did you see the movie about that Michael Jackson fella? Turns out, he didn’t just live happily ever after following the 1987 Bad tour. In a timely bit of counterprogramming, this docuseries revisits the pop megastar’s 2005 sexual molestation trial and its aftermath, which redefined the term ‘media circus’.
Premieres June 3
The Witness
A woman is murdered, and the only witness is her 2-year-old son. Based on real events, this three-part miniseries looks more like a family drama than true-crime thriller, as the boy’s father attempts to start over, only for the case to reopen many years later.
Premieres June 4
Mexico 86
Part of a raft of soccer-related content hitting the streamer in the run-up to the 2026 Men’s World Cup — Netflix will broadcast the women’s tournament next year — this colorful biopic stars Diego Luna as Martín de la Torre, the determined, somewhat conniving bureaucrat who brought the Cup to Mexico in 1986. It looks a bit like Marty Supreme meets Air, and Diego has the juice to pull it off.
Premieres June 5
Office Romance
At one point in time, a romcom starring Jennifer Lopez as an uptight girlboss would’ve packed theatres. Alas, you’ll have to watch it at home, like every other romcom these days. She’s an airline CEO with no space in her life for a workplace fling. Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein is the handsome corporate lawyer who makes her reconsider.
Premieres June 5
I Am Frankelda
Mexico’s first fully stop-motion feature (believe it or not) is a prequel to the Frankelda’s Book of Spooks animated series. In the 19th century, a young horror writer named Francisca is captured by the rulers of a nightmare world dependent on her to invent fresh frights to feed the collective human subconscious. Guillermo del Toro served as an advisor on the film, and it definitely seems to reflect his sensibilities.
Premieres June 12
Andre Is An Idiot
Andre Ricciardi is an eccentric San Francisco ad exec, and the reason he’s an idiot is because he skipped getting a colonoscopy at age 50 and later turned out to have colon cancer. Whoops! In this affecting doc, Ricciardi confronts death with gleeful gallows humour, while mourning the family and friends he’ll leave behind.
Premieres June 17
I Will Find You
Nearly every book thriller writer Harlan Coben writes gets turned into a streaming movie or miniseries. In this latest adaptation, Sean Worthington is a father wrongfully convicted of killing his young son. But when his sister-in-law, played by Severance’s Britt Lower, discovers a photo showing the kid alive and well, the race is on to save them both.
Premieres June 18
Color Book
A widowed father takes his son, who has Down’s syndrome, on a journey across Atlanta to attend the latter’s first baseball game in this black-and-white drama, which director David Fortune financed by winning AT&T’s Untold Stories competition.
Premieres June 19
Voicemails for Isabelle
A woman grieving the loss of her sister copes by sending confessional voicemails to her late sibling’s old phone number, only to have the messages intercepted by a complete stranger. A sleazy, psychosexual thriller? Nope: romcom! Seriously, though, could someone make that idea into a sleazy thriller, possibly directed by Jaume Collett-Serra?
Premieres June 19
In the Hand of Dante
Director Julian Schnabel returns to deliver a star-studded crime thriller with a twist of lit. Oscar Isaac plays author Nick Tosches (who wrote the 2002 novel the film is based on) who’s recruited by the mob to authenticate, and subsequently steal, a handwritten copy of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. Schnabel alternates between the modern-day gangster plot and a timeline of Dante (also Isaac) writing the manuscript in the 1400s. Sounds kinda insufferable, but the bizarre cast also includes Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Gal Gadot, Al Pacino, Jason Momoa and Martin Scorsese. Is it so insane it could actually work?
Premieres June 24
Avatar: the Last Airbender season 2
Don’t let M Night Shyamalan’s disastrous live-action film adaptation put you off this live-action take on the beloved mid-aughts anime — it doesn’t hold a candle to the cartoon, sure, but it’s still pretty good. If you’re unfamiliar, the series tracks a young boy with the ability to control the world’s four main elements – air, water, fire and earth – as he seeks to restore balance to a planet in upheaval. Check out the first season, then come back for the followup.
Premieres June 25
Little Brother
John Cena is a successful real estate agent whose life is turned upside down when he takes in his estranged ‘little brother’ — that is, the kid he mentored way back in high school, played by comedy anarchist Eric Andre. A typical odd-couple setup, yes, but this particular pairing has potential, as both guys excel at making stupid ideas work.
