June 2023 is packing tons of new original content for Netflix subscribers. Fan-favorite Netflix shows like Never Have I Ever and Love Is Blind have already returned with their newest seasons this month and with the long-awaited debuts of Black Mirror Season 6 and The Witcher Season 3 still on the way, there’s almost too much to keep track of! The streamer is also packing some notable original film releases in the incoming weeks, the biggest of which is the action blockbuster-sized sequel Extraction 2 led by mega-star Chris Hemsworth. Elsewhere in June 2023, subscribers can look forward to the new original psychological horror film Run Rabbit Run led by Sarah Snook of Succession fame.
Animation fans have a very special treat with the Netflix premiere of Nimona as well, a film that was originally in production at Blue Sky Studios but was canceled by Disney after the Fox-Merger. Based on the fantasy graphic novel of the same name by cartoonist and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power creator ND Stevenson, it was reported that Disney pushed back against Nimona‘s open LGBTQ characters and themes. Thankfully, Annapurna Pictures revived the project with DNEG providing the film’s 3D animation and Netflix as its worldwide distributor. Chloë Grace Moretz provides the voice of main character Nimona, a teenage shapeshifter who partners with former knight Ballister Blackheart, voiced by Riz Ahmed, for an unlikely whimsical adventure.
In terms of new and returning films to Netflix’s revolving streaming library, there’s plenty to choose from in June 2023. Subscribers can never go wrong with classics like Sam Raimi‘s original Spider-Man trilogy or James Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Hit comedies like Groundhog Day, Bruce Almighty, and Mean Girls and older animated films like Surf’s Up, The Angry Birds Movie, and Mr. Peabody & Sherman are also now streaming on Netflix this month. Looking to catch up on some of last year’s Oscar nominees? Then To Lesie and Living are the go-to picks. Finally, those excited for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer might want to rewatch the director’s previous war film Dunkirk when it returns to Netflix on June 12, 2023.

Our Recs:
Extraction 2
Despite seemingly dying at the end of the first film, Chris Hemsworth is back as Tyler Rake for another unthinkable mission. The first Extraction became the most-watched original film in Netflix’s history at the time of its release in 2020, so Extraction 2 has quite the legacy to live up to. Director Sam Hargrave returns with a script by Joe Russo, based on the graphic novel Ciudad by himself, Ande Parks, Anthony Russo, Fernando León González, and Eric Skillman. The Russo brothers are producing under their AGBO banner.
For those that don’t know, Sam Hargrave is a Russo Bros. protege with the director being a stunt coordinator, second unit director, and even Captain America’s stunt double on numerous Marvel productions. In Extraction 2, Tyler Rake is personally tasked with extracting an infamous Georgian gangster’s family from a prison. Golshifteh Farahani also returns as Tyler’s mercenary partner Nik Kahn. The sequel includes Adam Bessa, Olga Kurylenko, Tinatin Dalakishvili, Andro Jafaridze, and Daniel Bernhardt in its supporting cast. Fans of action cinema definitely won’t want to miss out on Extraction 2, and perhaps have it on repeat this summer on Netflix.
Extraction 2 releases on Netflix June 16, 2023!
Black Mirror: Season 6
Series creators Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones are back with another season of Black Mirror after a four-year hiatus. The long break was partially due to intellectual property issues with the Dutch media company Endemol – the show’s original owner before Netflix got involved with co-producing – and also partially due to the pandemic, with Brooker saying that new episodes would have been “too depressing” for audiences at the time. Now, the creative duo has started a new production company called Broke and Bones with Netflix subscribers investing a hefty $100 million in order to give new episodes of Black Mirror a larger cinematic scope.
This latest season of Black Mirror will feature six episodes; “Joan is Awful” starring Annie Murphy, Salma Hayek Pinault, Michael Cera, Himesh Patel, Rob Delaney, and Ben Barnes; “Loch Henry” starring Samuel Blenkin, Myha’la Herrold, Daniel Portman, John Hannah, and Monica Dolan; “Beyond the Sea” starring Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Auden Thornton, and Rory Culkin; “Mazey Day” starring Zazie Beetz, Clara Rugaard, Danny Ramirez; and “Demon 79′ starring Anjana Vasan, Paapa Essiedu, Katherine Rose Morley, and David Shields. If Black Mirror Season 6 is just as much a smash as past seasons, then it shouldn’t be too long until the streaming platform graces viewers with another installment.
Black Mirror: Season 6 debuts on Netflix June 15, 2023!
The Witcher: Season 3 Volume 1
Falling in line with previous highly-anticipated Netflix original releases like Stranger Things Season 4 and You Season 4, The Witcher Season 3 will be split in half with Volume 1 premiering on June 29, 2023, consisting of the first five episodes. The Witcher Season 3 Volume 2, which will collect episodes six through eight, is set to be released a month later on July 27. Based on the fantasy novel series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, this latest season of The Witcher will mainly follow Geralt of Rivia’s epic journey to protect Ciri of Cinatra at all costs from the endless waves of monarchs and monsters who seek out her Elder Blood and powerful magic for their own sinister desires.
The magically enhanced monster hunter Geralt and the Crown Princess Ciri are linked by destiny, and Season 3 will test their bond to the limits. As many fans already know, main star Henry Cavill will be leaving The Witcher after this season. The former Superman actor announced his departure last October with little reason being teased besides wanting to pursue other projects. Some people have speculated that his exit from the show could be due to creative differences or even because he was gearing up to play Superman again before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, but neither of these claims come with direct evidence.
Henry Cavill will be passing the leading role of Geralt of Rivia to Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth for The Witcher Season 4 and so forth. Freya Allan as Ciri of Cinatra, Joey Batey as Jaskier, and the rest of the cast will be staying around as planned. Showrunner Lauren Schmidt has tased that Cavill will be receiving “the most heroic sendoff” this season while also putting Geralt in a very interesting place for Liam Hemsworth to take over. With the live-action prequel series The Witcher: Blood Origin, which released last December, also tying into these new episodes, fans have a lot to look forward to.
The Witcher: Season 3 Volume 1 premieres on Netflix June 29, 2023!
