It is that time again, when you have to recalibrate your to-watch list to make room for all the new shows and films you're no doubt dying to see and, more sadly, to come to terms with those that you're probably not going to get round to watching. Yes, a new month will soon be upon us, and with it, a host of new shows, films, and specials from Netflix. The streaming service have duly announced everything coming to Netflix UK in June and suffice to say, there's plenty to ensure you stay out of the sunshine this June.

In terms of highlights, there's a brand new season of the '80s women's professional wrestling comedy GLOW, so grab a unitard and some industrial bronzer to get yourself in the mood. Plus there's Season 2 of the Marvel series Luke Cage, which sees the seemingly invincible superhero become a local celebrity in Harlem and having to change his name. There's the taut Australian miniseries Secret City, in which a political journalist uncovers a string of interwoven conspiracies happening in the Australian capital. And for something more lighthearted, check out the new Mindy Kaling comedy Champions.

As for weekly episodes, there will be new RuPaul's Drag Race episodes dropping as well as instalments of the Ryan Phillippe marksman drama Shooter every Friday.

If you're planning a film night in, there's also plenty to choose from. The sweet Australian romantic comedy Ali's Wedding, where the titular Ali is torn between familial loyalty and following his heart, is certainly worth a watch. Then there's the raunchy comedy Alex Strangelove, in which overachieving high-schooler Alex's plans to lose his virginity with his long-term girlfriend are scuppered when he meets a charming boy from another school. Or check out Set It Up to see two overworked PAs attempt to get their bosses to fall in love.

There's also the highly-anticipated Hannah Gadsby comedy special Nanette, in which the Australian comic talks about everything from homophobia to the #MeToo movement, and the W. Kamau Bell comedy special in which the American comedian muses on woke TV and contemplates going off the grid.

So cancel your social life and get your viewing schedule planned, because here's everything that will be landing on your Netflix in June.
