Summer’s here, and it’s time to pull another popsicle out of the freezer and take a break from the heat. When your kids inevitably get home from camp and start with the “I’m booooored” refrain, it helps to know what new family-friendly movies and TV shows are coming to Netflix in June. Then, instead of glazing over while rewatching their usual series, maybe a fresh show or movie will really engage them while they cool down in the air conditioning.
This is a really big month on Netflix for the preschool kids and fans of all things Pokémon, as the platform welcomes multiple new series from the Pokémon franchise and adds to beloved kids’ shows archives. There’ll be new Peppa Pig, new Sesame Street, and so much more for the little ones. But don’t worry, parents of older kids — there are some gems coming for the tweens, too.
What’s New On Netflix In June? The Highlight Reel

Hazel and friends are back again in a brand new season full of wishes mis-fulfilled, from time travel whoopsies to talking teeth. Millennial parents who loved the series will see plenty of favorite side characters return, including none other than Vicky herself.
KPop Demon Hunters — June 20
K-pop megastars Rumi, Mira, and Zoey have taken the music world by storm, with a horde of adoring fans selling out every show — and a horde of otherworldly demons to hunt down in their off hours. When five super cute demons take the form of a crush-worthy boy band and steal the souls of the girls’ fans, they decide to fight back. The way I would have been obsessed with this movie as a tween and demanded to be Mira for Halloween…
