In the summertime, when the weather is supposed to be hot but is, in fact, grey and drizzly, you have two options. You can either go outdoors and pretend it’s warm and sultry – or stay inside with the curtains closed, order a pizza, and catch up with some brilliant films and TV shows.

Thankfully, Netflix has you covered if you fancy doing the latter this weekend, with an abundance of new titles dropping to mark the end of June.

Lupin fans will be pleased to hear that the much-anticipated second season of the French thriller series is still available for streaming, as is Gina Rodriguez’s new post-apocalyptic horror, Awake (although the latter isn’t getting the best reviews). We also have Kevin Hart’s tear-jerking new film, Fatherhood, as well as an intriguing new Scandi drama – and let’s not forget about must-watch true crime documentary, Sophie: A Murder In West Cork, either.

Throw in the odd romcom, travel series, and meditation special and you truly do have something for everyone.

With all that to enjoy and more, here’s our pick of what’s new on Netflix.
