The 7 Best New Movies Streaming on Netflix in June 2026

“Office Romance” (Streaming now)

Nothing says summer quite like a star-studded rom-com, and Netflix’s flagship original release this month boasts the splashy pairing of Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. The “Ted Lasso” hyphenate co-wrote the film, in which he plays a corporate lawyer who falls for his latest client, a powerful airline CEO played by Lopez. It has all the makings of a throwback cinematic love story that could make for a perfect summer comfort viewing.

“The Big Lebowski” (Streaming now)

It almost feels like cheating to recommend Coen brothers comedies in this context, as the best ones are almost certain to be among any cinephile’s most-rewatched selections. But popularity does not change the fact that “The Big Lebowski” is a pitch-perfect movie, capturing the contradictions of ’90s America that gave way to today’s absurdity inside the framework of an addictive comedy. Even if you’ve watched it 100 times, there’s a good chance it will be exactly what you’re craving at some point this month, and Netflix will be there for you.

“Creed” Movies (Streaming now)

Michael B. Jordan is currently on top of the world. The superstar just won his first Oscar for “Sinners,” and is preparing to release his sophomore directorial effort, “The Thomas Crown Affair,” next spring and star in Joseph Kosinski’s “Miami Vice” reboot. If you still can’t get enough of him, all three entries in his flagship franchise are coming to Netflix this month. From the first “Creed,” which established Jordan and Ryan Coogler as Hollywood A-listers, through “Creed III,” which made Jordan a director in his own right, the trilogy is always ripe for a rewatch.

“Poor Things” (Streaming June 7)

2026 is shaping up to be one of the rare years where we don’t get a new Yorgos Lanthimos movie starring Emma Stone, but anyone going through withdrawal can revisit their best film to date this month. “Poor Things” is a masterpiece on several levels, from its lushly synthetic production design to Emma Stone’s committed performance as a Frankenstein-like woman who must learn to be human after an infant’s brain is implanted in her head. It’s the ultimate example of Lanthimos’ willingness to commit to absurd premises and execute them with stunning precision. Unlike some of the Greek auteur’s darker works, “Poor Things” follows its grotesque events to a darkly hopeful conclusion, making it the closest thing he has to an entry-level offering.

“I Am Frankelda” (Streaming June 12)

Netflix hasn’t been shy about marketing “I Am Frankelda” as the first stop-motion animation film to emerge from Mexico. And even if that’s a difficult claim to fully verify, there’s no denying that it looks like a colorful delight. A prequel to the Cartoon Network series “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” the film should appeal to both fans of the show and animation enthusiasts looking to dive into a handcrafted work of art.

“Song Sung Blue” (Streaming June 13)

It’s rare that a film emerges from truly out of the blue and finds its way into the Oscar hunt — dedicated cinephiles who regularly scan the festival circuit and the release calendar usually have a decent picture of the race by early in the fall. But Craig Brewer’s “Song Sung Blue” was a true dark horse, emerging late in the year and landing Kate Hudson an Oscar nomination for her delightful performance as Claire Sardina.

It’s not hard to see why the film resonated so much. Hugh Jackman and Hudson are at their most charming in this real-life story of two Neil Diamond impersonators who navigate the hardships of surviving in the real world while clinging to the carefree world Diamond presents in his sentimental songs. It’s a feel-good movie that even works if you don’t like Neil Diamond, and should be at the top of your list if you missed it last year.

“Drinking Buddies” (Streaming June 15)

Joe Swanberg has been largely off the grid for the past decade, but he returned in top form with this year’s SXSW premiere, “The Sun Never Sets.” Whether that movie rekindled your interest in the indie director or you’re still waiting to see it, Netflix is giving you a chance to revisit his last great film. “Drinking Buddies” increasingly feels like a product of a bygone era, with its craft beer subject matter evoking the hipster 2010s in which it was made. But it’s still a lovely hangout movie that holds up to rewatches, with Swanberg demonstrating his distinct knack for offering perfect versions of the mumblecore-esque tropes that we’re always telling other filmmakers to stop using.
