Netflix subscribers in June 2026 are spoilt for choice with a range of acclaimed series, from new dramas to returning favourites. Our experts have curated a list of top shows spanning genres and moods to suit every viewer.
Leading the recommendations is The Witness, a sensitive three-part drama about the 1992 murder of Rachel Nickell on Wimbledon Common. The series focuses on the struggle of her partner and young son, who was the only witness, to rebuild their lives. Also new is Tina Fey's comedy drama The Four Seasons, based on the film about friends on group trips, which has just returned for another season.
Season 2 of a popular show arrives amid ongoing enjoyment of recent releases like The Boroughs, from executive producers the Duffer Brothers, and Legends, a drama starring Steve Coogan and Tom Burke based on an incredible true story.
