Want to find what to watch on Netflix this week? Want to find what to skip? You’re in the right place because I’m here with a round-up of what’s worth streaming on the world’s biggest streaming service over the next seven days.
This week, I’m looking at new Netflix Originals hitting the platform between Saturday, June 22 and Friday, June 28, and it’s a surprisingly busy week for the streamer so it was hard to cut this list down.
On the final list we have competition series, Korean dramas, a star-studded rom-com, and of course true crime… everything you sign up to Netflix for!
There aren’t any massive new releases but a few of the entries on this list have been teased by Netflix for a while, and so they could become the next big thing on the streamer.
