New Releases on Netflix This Week & Top 10 Movies & Series: June 2nd, 2024

Happy Sunday, and welcome to your (belated) weekly roundup of everything new on Netflix for the final week of May 2024 and the first of June. It’s been a busy week with, likely due to a big dump of titles lined up for the first of the month. Here’s your rundown of everything new on Netflix worth watching this week and weekend. Plus, we’ll look at what’s been trending in the top 10 charts over the past seven days.

Did you miss any of the new arrivals from last week? You’d have missed over 20 new titles in total, including the excellent sitcom Act Your Age and the new Netflix Original series Tires.

As mentioned, we’re about to enter a new month, so if you’re looking for the complete rundown of what’s in store, go here.


What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

Netflix has added several HBO shows over the past year, but this is an entirely different unprecedented license. For the first time in the United States, Netflix is getting a Max Original series in the form of Scavengers Reign, the beloved animated series from Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner. What makes this addition so different is that it comes with a campaign to get Netflix to save the show from cancellation and renew it for a second season.

Feeling like an extended season of a Love, Death, and Robots episode, the Certified Fresh series has you following the crew of a deep space freighter who has crashed and landed on a dangerous planet.

We’ll be pitching some questions to the showrunner and executive producer of this show next week but if you want to see this show come back, you need to watch.
