Lots of people are rightly mad at Netflix for cracking down on password sharing or still nursing a grudge over GLOW getting canceled, but lest they think nothing they do will make us happy, I’d like to take this moment to thank them for raising Nimona from the dead after Disney unjustly shitcanned it in 2021.
This quirky animated feature, based on the acclaimed webcomic-turned-graphic novel by ND Stevenson, follows the titular young shapeshifter, eager sidekick to the not-so-villainous villain Lord Blackheart who runs afoul of the noble but vain Sir Ambrosius Goldenloin, tasked with keeping the peace in a futuristic fantasy kingdom. The comic is hard to pin down—is it sci-fi? Fantasy? A comedy? A romance?—and rich in LGBTQ themes, a totally unique creature...which is why it was so disheartening when it became a casualty of the corporate merger between Fox and Disney. Luckily, Netflix stepped in to save the day—the rare decision the streamer made in the last year that didn’t piss off a ton of people—loosening the pursestrings and finishing the movie, which premieres straight-to-streaming on June 30.

Also back this month, a show I thought the rapid unraveling of actual reality had perhaps proved unnecessary. Yes, Black Mirror is back for a sixth season at some point in June, and I’m extremely eager how to see how the show manages to satirize a world that is already rapidly eclipsing the over-the-top predictions it made only a few short years ago.
Also arriving during a busy month for Netflix: Extraction 2 (June 16), a mega-budget sequel to the 2020 Chris Hemsworth action thriller that definitely is a real movie people watched; season four of the delightful Mindy Kaling-produced coming of age series Never Have I Ever (June 8); a new Amy Schumer comedy special (June 13); and the first half of the third season of The Witcher—the last to feature star Henry Cavill.
Here’s everything else coming to Netflix in June.
