Netflix: the best new TV and films in June (plus everything else)
There's also a true crime series tipped to be the big new obsession, and the fan-demanded finale to a cancelled cult show.
Here's the best of what's new on Netflix UK next month - plus a complete list of everything coming in June.
The Edge Of Seventeen

Hide AdA smart, endearing coming-of-age film starring Hailee Steinfeld as a cynical, acerbic adolescent - and Woody Harrelson as her wonderfully deadpan teacher and confidant. Funny and surprising, this also has a lot more depth to its characters and story than your average teen comedy-drama.
On Netflix from June 2
The Staircase
Touted as Netflix's new true crime sensation, this 13-part docu-series follows the case of Michael Peterson, who was accused of murder after his wife Kathleen was found dead at their home in 2001.
On Netflix from June 8
Sense8: The Series Finale
Like many frustrating TV cancellations, when it was announced last summer that the cult sci-fi show from Matrix creators the Wachowskis was being axed, there was a fan outcry. The result is this two-hour concluding special, which devotees hope will wrap up loose plot threads and answer burning mysteries.
On Netflix from June 8
Planet Earth II
What is it? From a swimming sloth to a nail-biting pursuit of a newborn lizard by snakes, here's another chance to luxuriate in this spellbinding, expansive BBC nature documentary series - and relax to David Attenborough's typically wonderful narration.
On Netflix from June 11
Unsolved: Tupac and Biggie

Hide AdTaking a slightly different angle on the infamous murders of hip-hop's pioneering icons, this is a scripted drama following the police investigations into both cases.
On Netflix from June 18
Star Trek Beyond
The latest blockbuster in the big screen Star Trek revival, with Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto reprising their roles as Kirk, Uhura and Spock. A much pluckier and more enjoyable adventure than dour mis-step Into Darkness, there's plenty of fun action - and the interactions between Simon Pegg's Scotty and Sofia Boutella's Jaylah are a pleasing highlight.
On Netflix from June 21
Luke Cage: Season 2
Mike Colter is back as the indestructible Marvel hero Luke Cage, once again set on protecting his New York community from criminals and sleazebags. That gorgeous soundtrack is likely to play a major part once more, and Iron Fist is apparently making an appearance - continuing the pair's entertaining odd-couple dynamic from The Defenders. Season one was half-great. Fans will hope this can sustain its promise.
On Netflix from June 22
Don't Breathe
A grisly, old-fashioned exploitation flick in modern clothes; deftly executed with suspense and atmosphere by director Fede Alvarez. In Detroit, a trio of young burglars decide to rob a retired blind man who lives alone on a crumbling, derelict street. But they get far more than they bargain for when they break in.
On Netflix from June 26
All Is Lost

Hide AdRobert Redford is astonishing in JC Chandor's almost entirely wordless thriller - which follows a lone sailor who must draw on every ounce of his survival instincts and resourcefulness when he runs into trouble in the middle of the Ocean. Utterly captivating stuff.
On Netflix from June 28
Glow: Season 2
The return of the 80s-set comedy/drama about a group of female wrestlers, led by Alison Brie's Ruth (or Zoya the Destroya, to you and me). Season one secured an ardent following thanks to its witty humour, nostalgic references and likeable cast.
On Netflix from June 29
