If you're looking to find what new movies and shows Netflix is adding this week, I've got you covered. The streaming service is adding a mere 11 new movies and shows this week, but there are a few titles worth adding to your watchlist.
Top of the list is clearly "Little Brother," a Netflix original comedy movie starring John Cena and Eric André. For fantasy fans, "Avatar: The Last Airbender" season 2 is back for another round of adapting the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon.
That's probably the end of the top tier, but "In the Hand of Dante" is a flawed movie with an impressive cast. It stars Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Marin Scorsese, Al Pacino and Jason Momoa. But if you enjoy a good documentary, you might prefer watching "The American Experiment," a five-part docuseries about the 250-year history of the U.S. For those who just need a laugh, make sure to watch "Ryan Hamilton: This Just Hit Me."
Those aren't the only movies, shows and live events to add to your watchlist this week, though. Here's the full schedule of everything new on Netflix over the next seven days, along with my top picks for what you need to stream. Don't forget to check out everything new on Netflix in June 2026 for even more movies and shows to check out.
New on Netflix this week: Top picks
'Little Brother'
Genre: Comedy movie
What it's about: In "Little Brother," John Cena is Rudd, a famous real estate agent. His perfect life is turned upside-down, though, when a man claiming to be his brother calls him from the hospital. This man, Marcus (Eric André), was Rudd's little brother in a school "Big brother-little brother" program, and is not related to Rudd in any way. But that doesn't stop Rudd from still taking Marcus in, and chaos ensues.
Why you should watch it: This movie definitely seems to lean into André's absurd brand of comedy, at least, based on the trailer. If you like a wacky comedy with two hilarious leads, this movie should have no problem making you laugh.
Watch "Little Brother" on Netflix starting June 26
'Avatar: The Last Airbender' season 2
Genre: Fantasy action-adventure series
What it's about: Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) is the last member of the Air Nomads. Alongside his companions, Katara (Kiawentiio), and Sokka (Ian Ousley), he's on a crash course with the villainous Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). This season, the trio is headed to the Earth Kingdom to convince its King to aid in their battle against Ozai's ferocious fire benders.
Why you should watch it: Fans of the original Nickelodeon series, be warned: I can't promise that Netflix's live-action version of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is better than the animated series. But that doesn't mean you won't still like it. The show makes some interesting changes due to the restrictions of being live-action instead of animated.
Watch "Avatar: The Last Airbender" season 2 on Netflix starting June 25
'In the Hand of Dante'
Genre: Drama movie
What it's about: Nick Tosches (Oscar Isaac) is an author recruited by a mafia boss to steal Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy." The original one. From the 14th century. Needless to say, things do not go smoothly.
Why you should watch it: This movie doesn't take place solely in the 21st century; "In the Hand of Dante" also goes back to Dante's Italy, with many actors portraying people in both periods. Critics didn't love this movie when it debuted at the Venice International Film Festival last year, but with a cast that includes Isaac, John Malkovich and Al Pacino, it's worth giving a shot if you have time.
Watch "In the Hand of Dante" on Netflix starting June 24
'The American Experiment'
Genre: Docuseries
What it's about: "The American Experiment" is a five-part docuseries about the 250-year history of the U.S. It's centered around a fundamental question: "Can a people govern themselves?" To answer the question, director Brian Knappenberger brings together a roster of politicians and academics, including a pair of U.S. Vice Presidents.
Why you should watch it: I'm not convinced that this docuseries won't devolve into ideological debate, but I'm certainly intrigued about a documentary that got both Mike Pence and Kamala Harris on board. Plus, Tom Hanks is one of the executive producers, so I have some faith it will be worth a watch.
Watch "The American Experiment" on Netflix starting June 24
'Ryan Hamilton: This Just Hit Me'
Genre: Stand-up comedy special
What it's about: Ryan Hamilton is a stand-up from small-town Idaho who's made it to the big stage. In "This Just Hit Me," the folksy comedian delivers a new hour-long special for Netflix that dives into big-city living, going in a hot-air balloon and what it's like to go to Disney World by yourself.
Why you should watch it: This is Hamilton's second stand-up special, but it's been nearly a decade since "Happy Face" arrived on Netflix. He's had plenty of time to hone his craft, and you won't want to miss it.
Watch "Ryan Hamilton: This Just Hit Me" on Netflix starting June 23
