The 12 Best Things Coming to Netflix in June 2024

Coming June 12

My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Season 5

David Letterman (along with his lumberjack beard) is back for a new season of one-on-one chats with Miley Cyrus and the “Round Mound of Rebound” himself, Charles Barkley. Clocking in at just two episodes, it’s hard to really call this a “season,” but Letterman remains one of the last masters of the dying art of the in-depth interview.

King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch, Season 2

The first season of this breezy reality series about Dan Goldin, the New Jersey maestro of big-ticket memorabilia auctions, was an unexpected delight, especially for viewers who grew up collecting baseball cards and want to know if they’re sitting on a gold mine (guilty as charged). Now Goldin and his team of treasure hunters are back for a new round of million-dollar windfalls. If someone else is writing this article next month, you’ll know who cashed in on their Reggie Jackson rookie card.

Bridgerton, Season 3, Part 2

Quickly following the May rollout of Season 3, Part 1, the swoony series’ back half takes us further into the romances, relationships and rivalries at Mayfair. And not a moment too soon! Will the identity of Lady Whistledown ruin things between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan)? Will the Dowager Violet find love again? Will we have to wait this long again for Season 4? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Coming June 18

Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution

The history of LGBTQ+ stand-up comedy and the many struggles of queer comics once afraid to come out of the closet and take the stage is the focus of this star-studded documentary featuring interviews with Lily Tomlin, Rosie O’Donnell, Wanda Sykes, Hannibal Buress, Sandra Bernhard, Eddie Izzard, Tig Notaro and Margaret Cho.

Black Barbie: A Documentary

Hot on the (high) heels of Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s global box office sensation, this Shondaland documentary tells the story of three women who worked at Mattel and were responsible for the debut of Black Barbie in 1980. Directed by Lagueria Davis, the film highlights how important something as seemingly insignificant as a kids’ doll can be for representation and a generation’s self-esteem.

Coming June 20

America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Frankly, I’m surprised this one took so long. Netflix’s latest original sports doc follows the 2023–2024 season of the Dallas Cowboys’ famous, star-spangled cheerleading squad. The cameras take us behind the scenes to show us how, for these women, the job is about a lot more than just smiling and waving a pair of pom-poms. A ton of hard work, athleticism and discipline goes into their performances, scrutinized by 90,000 fans (plus millions watching on TV). That’s pressure.

Trigger Warning

Buckle up and get ready for Jessica Alba, action hero. In this high-octane thriller, the actor plays a Special Forces commando who returns to her hometown and becomes suspicious about the real cause of her father’s recent death. Could the police be involved? A local gang? And what about Anthony Michael Hall’s shady senator? One thing’s for sure, Alba’s hand-to-hand fight scenes make her look like the second coming of Jason Bourne.

A Family Affair

Twelve years after they first hooked up in The Paperboy, Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron reunite in this rom-com about a young woman (Joey King) who discovers — and is mortified — that her mother (Kidman) and her movie star boss (Efron) are an item. A Family Affair is directed by Richard LaGravenese, who knows his way around on-screen romances, since he wrote the script for one of our all-time faves, The Bridges of Madison County.
