Every month, Netflix adds movies and TV shows to its library. Here are our picks for some of June’s most promising new titles. (Note: Streaming services occasionally change schedules without giving notice. For more recommendations on what to stream, sign up for our Watching newsletter here.)
‘Mexico 86’
Starts streaming: June 5
Just in time for the 2026 edition of the FIFA World Cup, Netflix is debuting a film about the 1986 tournament, which helped inspire and unite Mexico in the wake of a devastating earthquake the year before. Diego Luna plays Martín de la Torre, an ambitious bureaucrat who takes the lead on Mexico’s underdog bid to to host the World Cup, wheeling and dealing — and lying and cheating — to beat out the U.S.A. and Canada. The director and co-writer Gabriel Ripstein (in collaboration with the screenwriter Daniel Krauze) fictionalizes the true story of Mexico’s triumph while satirizing the corruption and the excesses of government officials and business magnates.
‘I Am Frankelda’
Starts streaming: June 12
Animation buffs should be familiar with “Frankelda’s Book of Spooks,” a visually striking 2001 Mexican stop-motion anthology series (available on HBO Max in the U.S.), in which the ghost of a 19th-century horror author tells stories about young people confronting their fears. But it’s not necessary to watch the TV show to appreciate the prequel movie “I Am Frankelda.” The film follows the young writer Francisca Imelda (Mireya Mendoza) as she discovers that one of the nightmarish fantasy worlds she created actually exists, and that its champion Prince Herneval (Arturo Mercado Jr.) needs her help to reshape a realm controlled by the devious spider-demon Procustes (Luis Leonardo Suárez). Written and directed by the brothers Arturo and Roy Ambriz, “I Am Frankelda” is a colorful fairy tale, shot through with a dark imagination.
‘I Will Find You’
Starts streaming: June 18
In the latest Netflix mini-series adapted from a Harlan Coben novel, Sam Worthington plays David Burroughs, a college professor wrongly convicted of beating his toddler son Matthew to death with a baseball bat. After five years in prison, David gets a visit from his sister-in-law, Rachel (Britt Lower), who shows him a picture of a boy who appears to be Matthew, still alive and five years older. Suddenly David has a reason to break out of jail and to investigate a case everyone thinks is closed. But some powerful people, for reasons unknown, are determined to keep the truth buried. As with most Coben-plotted series, “I Will Find You” is filled with supporting characters — played by familiar actors including Milo Ventimiglia, Madeleine Stowe and Chi McBride — who have secrets of their own, revealed gradually in episodes packed with cliffhangers and surprises.
‘Voicemails for Isabelle’
Starts streaming: June 19
Leah McKendrick wrote and directed this romantic comedy, about an aspiring pastry chef named Jill (Zoey Deutch), who shares her misadventures in the San Francisco dating world with the voice mail of her late sister, Isabelle. What Jill does not know though is that Isabelle’s phone number was reassigned after her death to Wes (Nick Robinson), a hustling salesman who usually struggles with both relationships and honesty. Wes is so charmed by Jill’s voice mail messages that he comes to San Francisco to meet her, setting up one of those thorny rom-com dilemmas: How long can Wes use what he learns about Jill from her phone calls before he has to tell her the truth? “Voicemails for Isabelle” is about lies and good intentions, and about two nice young people desperate to find the connection and purpose missing from their lives.
‘In the Hand of Dante’
Starts streaming: June 24
The painter and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Julian Schnabel directed this adaptation of Nick Tosches’ 2002 novel “In the Hand of Dante,” a blend of historical speculation and metafiction. Oscar Isaac plays a dual role, portraying both the 13th-14th century Italian poet Dante Alighieri — hard at work on finishing a masterwork — and Tosches, who is being pressured by criminals to authenticate a possible handwritten Dante manuscript of “The Divine Comedy.” Schnabel plays around with the visual style of the movie, shooting the Dante scenes in vivid color and the Tosches scenes in black-and-white. He has also enlisted an ace cast of supporting players, including Al Pacino, John Malkovich, Martin Scorsese and Jason Momoa.
