The summer heat is creeping in, but Netflix isn’t letting up either. The streaming giant is unloading an exciting wave of new releases for June 2025, with big-name returning series, juicy reality TV, and a surprising batch of nostalgic gems, per Forbes. Whether you're stuck inside dodging mosquitos or winding down after a day in the sun, this month’s additions give plenty of reason to stay glued to the screen.

Topping the list is the return of Netflix’s global juggernaut Squid Game. The third season premieres June 27, arriving just months after season two. This fast turnaround has fans buzzing and raises the stakes for what’s ahead in the high-stakes survival world of the series. If you haven’t caught up on season two yet, now might be your last chance to binge in peace before spoilers flood the internet.

Just before that, on June 25, Netflix revives its spicy social experiment The Ultimatum: Queer Love for a second season. The drama-soaked dating show puts couples to the test by encouraging them to explore other romantic options. This particular version, centered on queer relationships, has already proven more emotionally charged and binge-worthy than its heterosexual counterpart.

Originally intended as a spiritual successor to Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team, the Netflix version delves deeper, pulling back the curtain on the pressure, physical strain, and cultural contradictions baked into the job. The cheerleaders are depicted as elite athletes, balancing other jobs and managing the mental toll of intense training and public scrutiny. Critics have noted the show’s honest take on gender expectations, with Time’s Judy Berman highlighting how the docuseries doesn’t shy away from complex issues surrounding image, wellness, and performance.

The transparency around low wages and the sacrifices these women make has sparked a wider conversation about labor in professional sports entertainment. Yet what resonates most is the unity among the squad, whose grace under pressure continues to impress both casual viewers and longtime fans of the Cowboys brand.
