Based on the weather and the quality of content we're getting on the small screen, it's safe to say that summer has arrived, even though the officially first day of summer isn't until later this month. But for streaming services, the week of June 2 looks like the start of the exciting summer season rollout with lots of new and returning shows making their way to Netflix and beyond this week.
It's perfect timing, too, since last week brought a number of finales. Hit shows like Hacks, Your Friends and Neighbors, and The Handmaid's Tale brought their currents seasons to a close. Thankfully, Hacks and Your Friends and Neighbors will be back with new seasons, but that's it for The Handmaid's Tale. This week also brings new episodes of And Just Like That, Criminal Minds, Poker Face, and more.
On top of the four best new shows coming to Netflix and streaming this week, which we will highlight below, this week also brings the premieres of Love Island USA season 7 on Peacock, BMF season 4 on Starz, Tires season 2 on Netflix, and The Survivors on Netflix. There's a lot to look forward to, so it's time to make some room on your watch list, most especially for the following four shows!
