Among other anticipated series releases in June, The Umbrella Academy season three and the final season of Peaky Blinders top the list.

Netflix has been adding new films, documentaries and comedy content as well this month. Among them, we have been waiting with bated breath for the upcoming Chris Hemsworth trailer that is scheduled to begin streaming soon.

The plot sounds pretty intense and gritty. Two convicts, who want to reduce their respective prison sentence, volunteers as medical subjects for a radical new drug that can potentially alter one’s emotions. However, one begins to face a massive change in their ability to love, questioning whether his emotions are real or just a result of a drug-induced haze.

Hustle– Jeremiah Zagar

Hustle is yet another collaboration between Adam Sandler and Netflix, following successful stints like MurderMystery, Uncut Gems and Hubbie Halloween. Sandler is joined by Robert Duvall, Queen Latifah, Ben Foster, Heidi garner, Kenny Smith and real-life Spanish basketball legend and current Utah Jazz player, Juancho Herangomez.

The sports comedy sees Sandler as a jaded basketball scout named Stanley Sugarman who attempts to resuscitate his career in a unique manner when he discovers a generational Spanish talent with a turbulent life who has the potential of becoming the next big NBA star.
