New on Netflix in June: Say hello to Lupin, Sweet Tooth, and Happy Endings, and goodbye to Hannibal, Twin Peaks, and The Twilight Zone
Aux News Netflix
There’s a whiff of summer blockbuster pyrotechnics to the sizzle reel rounding up June’s big premieres on Netflix—at least as much as can be sustained across 10 minutes of sneak peeks. But even with movie theaters shaking off the pandemic cobwebs, the streaming service continues to make its move to supplant the megaplex, with a June lineup that includes the Kevin Hart-headlined Fatherhood (which was initially planned for a theatrical run last April), the insomnia-as-apocalypse thriller Awake, the Revolutionary War-by-way-of-Archer animated satire America: The Motion Picture, and a two-part Sailor Moon movie. On the TV front, Lupin’s French-language caper continues, newly Discovery-co-owned DC Comics title Sweet Tooth brings its human/animal hybrid fantasia to live-action life, Élite prepares for a new school year, Kim’s Convenience prepares to close up shop, and Happy Endings joins the library.
Yet, just as Netflix subscribers begin their very own Years of Penny, they must prepare to let go of Hannibal, all three Back To The Future movies, Bonnie And Clyde, the first two seasons of Twin Peaks, and the original run of The Twilight Zone. You can really feel the repercussions of the streaming wars in the last two of those departures, Viacom properties that have been widely available across multiple platforms for years, but now have an owned-and-operated home at Paramount+. Be forewarned, Netflix subscriber: You have time enough at last to watch Burgess Meredith make the fateful wish that he just had more time to read in “Time Enough At Last”—but only until the end of June.

Well. I never did get around to rewatching Twin Peaks to prepare for watching the new season, and I guess I might not have the time. Still – Streets of Fire is a deeply silly movie that I will nonetheless be glad to see again, and the latest season of Kim’s Convenience is welcome news (because I kinda didn’t know till recently that that season existed). But the big deal for me is Happy Endings, a show I only recently finished (on IMDB or someplace when it was there) and is so good that I will watch the whole thing again as soon as possible.
But the big deal for me is Happy EndingsYear of Penny; Stream it!
I just got a 30-day free trial for showtime.com to watch Twin Peaks: the Return even though I only watched the original 7-8 years ago.
I’ve only seen season three of Happy Endings – and a handful of episodes from its first two seasons – so I’m eager to stream it in its entirety.
Still I’d love a season four.
Don’t worry, it’s still on Hulu. Do it brother, it is so entirely worth your time.
With Hannibal leaving, maybe the talk of a fourth season will leave as well.
Did anyone watch the new season of Love Death Robots? I liked most of it, but it was a little too short.
NO! NOT THE BRATZ MOVIE! ANYTHING BUT THE BRATZ MOVIE!
Don’t have Netflix, but I am curious, how do they pronounce “Lupin”? “Loo-pihn” or “Loo-pahn”?
You need to scream LOOOOO PAAAHHHHNNNNN while running
Is Elisha Cuthbert only in things with titles that sound like they might be porn?
Yes, things like Are You Afraid of the Dark, 24 and Old School sure do sound like porn titles.
Well, rats; I was hoping the “Lupin” mentioned in the headline was referring to Lupin III: The First.
Ill never watch Happy Endings on anything other than HBOMax cause they put the episodes in the correct order.
Happy Endings, yay! Is it known where Twin Peaks and Twilight Zone are going?
“You can really feel the repercussions of the streaming wars in the last two of those departures [Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone], Viacom properties that have been widely available across multiple platforms for years, but now have an owned-and-operated home at Paramount+. A bummer, because I’ve meant to watch more of both for years but I really don’t need another streaming service.
Thanks! And yeah, I’m not getting Paramount+. Oh well. There are multiple TZ marathons annually on SyFy.
Is the AV Club just not listing what’s leaving anymore beyond a little summary of the notable departures in the body? It’s been like this the last few months…
