The Best TV Shows And Movies Coming To Netflix In June 2024

With the box office being in dire straits, I feel a little awkward telling you to stay home and watch stuff on Netflix. Anyway, stay home and watch stuff on Netflix! All kidding aside, summer is bearing down upon us, and that means unbearable, scorching hot temperatures. (Thanks global warming!) So, what better way to burn though your free time than by plopping yourself down in an air-conditioned theater and checking out the latest releases? After a relatively slow start to the year, June looks to turn things up a notch (news that will no doubt come as music to the ears of /Film's resident box office guru, Ryan Scott). Tragically, however, you can't spend all your non-working hours at the multiplex — not even for the "Lord of the Rings" re-release. 

That being the case, I've selected some top picks among the titles coming to Netflix in June, all of which can be enjoyed without leaving your living room (or whatever room(s) you keep your TV(s) in). You can read through the complete list of movies and TV shows hitting the service at the bottom of this article. Happy streaming!

In a better world, you'd be able to catch the new Richard Linklater on the big screen. Alas, Netflix swooped in and picked up the Texan auteur's "Hit Man" following its festival debut last year, which means only those who live in select cities will be able to watch it in a theater. It's what it is, as a wise guy in another Netflix movie once observed.

Moving on: Linklater's action rom-com casts the internet's boyfriend, Glen Powell, as a part-time teacher who moonlights as an undercover officer for the New Orleans Police Department, posing as a hitman in order to suss out those seeking his services. However, this unorthodox sting operation take a turn for the even wilder when Powell's pretend contract killer falls for a woman trying to escape her abusive boyfriend (Adria Arjona). It's a darkly quirky, stranger-than-fiction true story — one previously covered in a 2001 magazine article — and that ought to play well to its director's particular sensibilities. Early reviews have likewise heralded the movie as another huge step forward for Powell's ascension to bonafide A-lister after "Anyone But You." Hopefully, that'll be enough to prevent this one from getting overlooked amidst the glut of new Netflix "content."

Remember when Chris Pratt lending his voice to an animated feature felt like a novel concept? "The LEGO Movie" turns 10 this year, yet its charms remain firmly undiminished. Set in a world of interlocking plastic blocks and tiny figurines, the film follows Pratt's Emmet Brickowski as this seemingly unexceptional LEGO minifigure gets swept into an adventure to try and stop the despotic Lord Business (Will Ferrell, playing another evil CEO nearly a decade before "Barbie") from unleashing an insidious weapon on the citizens of Bricksburg. Admittedly, writer-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller's ode to the power of creativity didn't have quite the effect on our IP-dominated landscape that they were going for, but that's not their fault. "The LEGO Movie" is filled with breathless, energetic set pieces and relentless, ingenious sight gags, yet it's the film's self-reflexive narrative that makes it a (meta)modern classic. Give it a stream and get "Everything is Awesome" stuck in your head all over again.

Hmm, it appears we've stumbled upon a theme of family-friendly movies starring actors who currently have films in theaters. Five years before Netflix started remaking all your favorite anime multimedia franchises in live-action, "Pokémon Detective Pikachu" beat them to the punch with an entertaining "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" riff featuring the vocal talents of Ryan Reynolds. The "Deadpool" actor lends his voice to the titular crime-solving Pokémon, a coffee-chugging, lightning-shooting rascal who teams up with a former wannabe Pokémon trainer (Justice Smith) to investigate the mysterious death of the young man's father, only to stumble upon a much bigger conspiracy. "Detective Pikachu" is, if you'll forgive the Poké-pun, surprisingly effective in the way it adapts its source material into a live-action three-act narrative without sacrificing its fanciful visuals or general zaniness. Yet, despite all that and its strong commercial performance, we're still waiting on the sequel. Don't make me go full Jigglypuff and scribble all over your face, Warner Bros.

You've heard of Christmas in July, now how about "Carol" in June? Okay, it doesn't have the same ring, but Todd Haynes' 1950s-set queer winter holiday romance may provide the change of pace you're looking for. Rooney Mara stars as a doe-eyed department store employee who gets swept off her feet by the title character (Cate Blanchett), a captivating, classy older woman who's in the middle of a divorce that could get even messier, should the truth about her sexuality come to light. "Carol" captures the wonderment of falling for someone older and more worldly than you, yet it never loses sight of the underlying danger inherent to the characters' situation (no surprise there; it's based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith, the thriller maestro best known for "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Strangers on a Train"). Chilly yet inviting, picturesque yet never nostalgic in the way it portrays its period setting, this remains some of Haynes' finest work in a career spent subverting and challenging conventions.

A film about a dad just doing his best to care for his child and the way that time affects our understanding of the people in our lives and the world around us? Of course Christopher Nolan loves "Aftersun," as well he should! Writer-director Charlotte Wells' feature debut casts Paul Mescal as a young divorced father who takes his daughter (Frankie Corio) on a trip to a sunny Turkish holiday resort, all the while struggling to keep his emotional demons at bay. Wells evokes her fellow Scottish auteur Lynne Ramsay in the way that she melds aesthetic naturalism with subjective storytelling here. What's left unsaid or unclear often matters most in "Aftersun," which is one of the more quietly affecting dramas I've seen in some time, all the way through to its abstract, surreal climax. Make this a double-feature with "Past Lives" — Nolan's other recent, decidedly-on-brand favorite film — and there's a good chance you'll be left with crocodile tears streaming down your face.
