Netflix: the best new TV and films in June (plus everything else)

From summer blockbusters to superhero returns and everything inbetween, June's additions to Netflix UK are packed with comedies, dramas and thrillers of both the small and big screen varieties.

There's also a true crime series tipped to be the big new obsession, and the fan-demanded finale to a cancelled cult show.

Here's the best of what's new on Netflix UK next month - plus a complete list of everything coming in June.

The Edge Of Seventeen

Superlative angst: Hailee Steinfeld in The Edge Of Seventeen

What is it? A smart, endearing coming-of-age film starring Hailee Steinfeld as a cynical, acerbic adolescent - and Woody Harrelson as her wonderfully deadpan teacher and confidant. Funny and surprising, this also has a lot more depth to its characters and story than your average teen comedy-drama.

The Staircase

What is it? Touted as Netflix's new true crime sensation, this 13-part docu-series follows the case of Michael Peterson, who was accused of murder after his wife Kathleen was found dead at their home in 2001.

Sense8: The Series Finale

Fans will hope to get the resolution they asked for (Photo: Netflix)

What is it? Like many frustrating TV cancellations, when it was announced last summer that the cult sci-fi show from Matrix creators the Wachowskis was being axed, there was a fan outcry. The result is this two-hour concluding special, which devotees hope will wrap up loose plot threads and answer burning mysteries.

Planet Earth II

What is it? From a swimming sloth to a nail-biting pursuit of a newborn lizard by snakes, here's another chance to luxuriate in this spellbinding, expansive BBC nature documentary series - and relax to David Attenborough's typically wonderful narration.

Unsolved: Tupac and Biggie

A dramatic, detective look behind the murders (Photo: Netflix)

What is it? Taking a slightly different angle on the infamous murders of hip-hop's pioneering icons, this is a scripted drama following the police investigations into both cases.

Star Trek Beyond

Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and Sulu (John Cho) in Star Trek: Beyond

What is it? The latest blockbuster in the big screen Star Trek revival, with Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana and Zachary Quinto reprising their roles as Kirk, Uhura and Spock. A much pluckier and more enjoyable adventure than dour mis-step Into Darkness, there's plenty of fun action - and the interactions between Simon Pegg's Scotty and Sofia Boutella's Jaylah are a pleasing highlight.

Luke Cage: Season 2

What is it? Mike Colter is back as the indestructible Marvel hero Luke Cage, once again set on protecting his New York community from criminals and sleazebags. That gorgeous soundtrack is likely to play a major part once more, and Iron Fist is apparently making an appearance - continuing the pair's entertaining odd-couple dynamic from The Defenders. Season one was half-great. Fans will hope this can sustain its promise.

Don't Breathe

What is it? A grisly, old-fashioned exploitation flick in modern clothes; deftly executed with suspense and atmosphere by director Fede Alvarez. In Detroit, a trio of young burglars decide to rob a retired blind man who lives alone on a crumbling, derelict street. But they get far more than they bargain for when they break in.

All Is Lost

What is it? Robert Redford is astonishing in JC Chandor's almost entirely wordless thriller - which follows a lone sailor who must draw on every ounce of his survival instincts and resourcefulness when he runs into trouble in the middle of the Ocean. Utterly captivating stuff.

Glow: Season 2

The glamorous ladies of wrestling are back (Photo: Netflix)

What is it? The return of the 80s-set comedy/drama about a group of female wrestlers, led by Alison Brie's Ruth (or Zoya the Destroya, to you and me). Season one secured an ardent following thanks to its witty humour, nostalgic references and likeable cast.
