Time may seem hard to gauge nowadays, so, to
help you keep your June calendar on track, here are a few select Netflix coming
attractions, as well as approaching deadlines on shows and movies leaving the
streaming platform.
You'll know June 1 has arrived when "spooky
summertime streaming" begins with family classics Casper and ET: The Extra
Terrestrial. After the kids go to bed, parents can enjoy psychological
thrillers such as Jonathan Demme's The
Silence of the Lambs and Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear.
New Orleanians may especially enjoy a
voyeuristic return to the singles scene in Dating
Around, available June 12. Set in New Orleans, this series, in its second
season, portrays the kind of eternal love found only as the result of five
blind dates.
Netflix's first original Spike Lee joint will
be available June 12. Da 5 Bloods is
the story of a group of African American Vietnam War vets who risk a return to
'Nam seeking not only the one man they left behind, but a lost treasure.
Original content continues with American Horror Story creator Ryan
Murphy's political comedy, The Politician,
back for a second season on June 19. Putting their lesson of "little details
matter" into practice, Queer Eye fans
can reunite with the Fab Five for their fifth season on June 5. Another notable
original is Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams's mockumentary spoof, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire
Saga, available June 26.
Comedy fans don't have to wait until then to
laugh. Start chuckling June 1 with the anti-Paul
Blart: Mall Cop in Observe and Report,
the ever-quotable Clueless, and The Disaster Artist, James Franco's take
on the best worst movie ever, Tommy Wiseau's The Room. For another movie trying desperately to be taken
seriously, check out Starship Troopers.
Get one last shake at the campy Tremors movie series before all five of
them vanish on June 30. AMC's iconic series Mad
Men will no longer be available after June 9, and it's last call for all 11
seasons of Cheers on June 30. Maybe
by then, we can all actually go to a real bar. Speaking of questioning what's
"real," June 30 is the last day to stream The
Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions.
Fuller
House: The Farewell Season will be available for
streaming on June 2. The show's ending may or may not be related to actress Lori Loughlin pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit
wire and mail fraud in 2019's college admissions scandal. To relive
past true crime media frenzies, watch Netflix's documentary series, Trial By Media.
Netflix is releasing dozens more movies,
series, and documentaries in June. All you need now is to set up your home
theater.
