With summer now just right around the corner, you probably can't wait to spend hot days inside with the air conditioner on, catching up on TV shows and movies. While screen time has quickly become just about everyone's favorite pastime, it can sometimes be a hard feat to figure out what to watch. That's why this list of movies and shows coming to Netflix in June 2018 is here to help.
May was certainly a great month for new additions to the streaming service with the introduction of stand-up specials such as Ali Wong's Hard Knock Wife, and the second season Netflix's Original series, Dear White People, making their way on the platform.
But along with the arrival of new shows and movies, also comes the departure of other programs that you may want to hurry up and view before they are removed from the streaming service such as Marvel Studios' Captain America: Civil War, 8 Mile, Gridiron Gang, Training Day, The Trials of Muhammad Ali, The Great Gatsby, and While You Were Sleeping. While its certainly sad to see those amazing films go, Netflix's recent announcement proves that June is going to be just as great with its influx of new material.
