School’s out, summer is here, and instead of spending your time outside in the heat, why not stay indoors with the air conditioning and fans and cool off with some great Netflix? We propose a new meaning for Netflix and Chill: curl up on the couch with that summertime popsicle and just relax during the hottest part of the day! There’s always time for swimming at the pool or going to the lake on a less scorching day, right? Or, maybe, you could set up a poolside projector and have a little Netflix movie party when the sun goes down. There are plenty of big summer blockbusters headed to the streaming service this June to make this happen!
Before we get to the full list of what is coming and going, be sure to check out our highlights, including movies you should plan that pool party around!
Disney’s 101 Dalmatians (1996)
First, for the kids! One of Disney‘s first live-action remakes comes to Netflix on June 1! The 1961 animated classic, 101 Dalmatians, gets a very big film with real puppies and a very sinister Glenn Close (Guardians of the Galaxy) as the villain, Cruella De Vil. The updated version brings Jasper (Hugh Laurie, House MD) and Horace (Mark Williams, Harry Potter) on a kidnapping spree, snatching up Pongo and Perdita’s small litter to join the pups from the local pet stores. Hilarity ensues as a cast of animals, both wild and domestic, work together to reunite all the puppies with Roger (Jeff Daniels, Dumb and Dumber) and Anita (Joely Richardson, Emerald City). This movie is perfect to keep the little ones entertained on those days you don’t want to chase them to re-apply that sunscreen.

Marvel’s Luke Cage: Season 2
https://youtu.be/sB1in0KkoG4
Return to Harlem for Marvel‘s Luke Cage! The second season sees Luke Cage (Mike Colter) as a community hero – his name is on everyone’s lips and he’s celebrated throughout Harlem. But at what cost? The first season is streaming now, so you have plenty of time to get caught up (including watching The Defenders, the crossover show featuring a team-up of Luke Cage, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Daredevil (Charlie Cox), and Iron Fist (Danny Rand)) before the new season drops on June 22.

GLOW: Season 2
Celebrate girl power and everything to do with the 1980s with the second season of the Netflix original, GLOW! The wrestling ladies are back following their successful first show and must now learn to handle being local celebrities – in all that the word entails. They must also learn to overcome their internal problems as a group to film an entire television show for Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), who must also deal with having a teenage daughter. The comedy is executively produced by Jenji Kohan, Liz Flahive, and Carley Mensch, and stars Alison Brie (Community, Mad Men), Betty Gilpin (Elementary, Nurse Jackie), along with many more talented women. Catch the first season on Netflix now to get caught up for the new season that premieres on June 29th!

Wynonna Earp
Gear up for Season 3 of Wynonna Earp on Syfy by catching up on seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix! Season 1 of the show, based on the IDW comic by Beau Smith, is currently up, so you can get acquainted with the 27 year old Wynonna Earp (Melanie Scrofano) as she inherits a curse laid upon her great-great-grandfather, Wyatt Earp (Ryan Northcott). The lawman’s lineage was cursed by a demon and each new heir is forced to re-kill the 77 revenants (reincarnated souls) that Wyatt sent to Hell with his gun, Peacemaker. Wynonna isn’t fighting alone; she has her sister, Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley), by her side, she befriends Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon), who suffers his own kind of curse, and she joins the suspicious cross-border government agency Black Badge Division under Agent Dolls (Shamier Anderson). Season 1 was a wild ride on its own, but season 2 brought with it more dangers and plot twists. Season 3 comes to Syfy July 20, so get caught up now! Watch season 1, currently on Netflix, then binge season 2 on June 9, and then read our recaps HERE to see if you missed anything. Then, we’ll all be set for that third season coming to Syfy later this summer!

Thor: Ragnarok
Chances are, you’ve already seen Avengers: Infinity War (and if not, why not?), but that doesn’t mean you can’t relive the fun that lead up to it with Thor: Ragnarok. This Marvel film took the Guardians of the Galaxy approach to the superhero movie franchise and stepped over into an action comedy space, which suited it just fine. It was a nice refreshing breath at a much needed point in the timeline. With the upcoming seriousness of Infinity War, which starts moments after the ending of Ragnarok, this film is the 1980’s throwback buddy adventure that the world needed. It brought Thor (Chris Hemsworth) back together with Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and introduced a whole new set of characters that we all hope to see again, especially Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and fan favorite Korg (voiced by Taika Waititi) with his buddy Miek. The film has a very action-packed side quest on the way to the ultimate family rivalry battle between Thor and his sister, Hela (Cate Blanchett). And, yes, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) meddles about, as well. This is definitely a movie night to look forward to! Thor: Ragnarok comes to Netflix on June 5th.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Episode VIII in the epic Star Wars franchise is coming! Star Wars: The Last Jedi brings the focus of the new battle for galactic control forward to a new generation with the baton being officially passed from the heroes of yesteryear. The First Order, led by Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), are on a mission to hunt down the Resistance, led by General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher). Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega) each find their own tasks within the Resistance while Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Chewie (Joonas Suotamo) seek out Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) to train her in the way of the Force and to bring him back to the front lines. Battles will be fought, new friends will be made, friendships will fall, but one things remains the same: hope exists in the galaxy. May the Force be with you on June 26th when Star Wars: The Last Jedi lands on Netflix.
