Ten New Shows and Movies to Watch on Netflix in June 2022

Picking up where it left off last week with the premiere of Stranger Things 4, the month of June is set to see several long-awaited returns on Netflix, including new seasons of Peaky Blinders and Danish political drama Borgen, The Umbrella Academy Season 3, and a new Money Heist spinoff that hopes to build on Squid Game's success. Plus: Jennifer Lopez tells all, Adam Sander gets serious, and Melissa McCarthy returns to series TV. Here are the new releases and returning series we're most looking forward to this June on Netflix:

Borgen: Power & Glory (NEW season)

Elsewhere, Birgitte’s former head of press, Katrine Fønsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sørensen), has returned to TV journalism and is now the head of a news department. Birgitte survived her time at the top but will this challenge prove to be too great?

Floor is Lava, Season 2

The first season of Floor is Lava debuted early in the pandemic and was a much-needed slice of frivolity. Now the game show (yes, it's adapted from the children's game of the same name) is back, and the course has evolved to include a slippery volcano of its own. Contestants talk a big game, but how many will make it across to win the $10,000 prize?

Queen Latifah, Ben Foster, and Robert Duvall co-star.
