Netflix adding 6 new movies and shows this week (June 22, 2025)

It's the show we've all been waiting for, fam. The final season of one of the most popular series ever arrives this week on Netflix. Plus other stuff!

That's right, Squid Game returns for its third and final season. At least, we think this will be the end. Don't forget, the show was originally intended to be a one-and-done deal. We know Shaq is happy we got more than one season. The good news is that Netflix has more than one show to keep you happy.

You're not exactly going to be bombarded with new material. Other than the headliner, we're only getting five new arrivals this week. Maybe our overlords at the world's most popular streaming service don't want anything else to detract from the luster of June's showpiece show.

As if they need to boost a show with nearly 500 million views between its first two seasons. Alright fam, let's see what else we can watch this week.

There's more than one kind of game this week on Netflix

Our first new arrival isn't exactly fresh from the studio, but it's a real gem. It stars the dynamite pairing you'd always dreamed of, Anne Hathaway and Robert DeNiro. What, that wasn't on your radar? Well, it should have been, as The Intern was one of the most underrated comedy/dramas of 2015. OMG, how is this 10 years old already?

If you loved What Women Want or Something's Gotta Give, you're a fan of writer-director Nancy Meyers. And in that case, how did you miss this the first time around?

We'll jump a day ahead to Tuesday for a two-for-one entertainment extravaganza. The scheduling crew had some fun with this. Let's see if you can figure out the theme. First up is another of Netflix's original documentaries detailing things going horribly wrong.

All aboard for Trainwreck: Poop Cruise. I've never had much interest in cruises, but it's not because I thought I'd be marooned at sea on a huge ocean liner with no working toilets.

From the joy of no bathrooms, we escape to your favorite streaming service's latest standup special, Steph Tolev: Filth Queen. It's Tolev's first special for Netflix, and the trailers look hilarious. So why don't I have a trailer here for you? Um.. .well... let's just say Ms. Tolev does her best to live up to the title of her special. I'd rather not get fired, so... go look it up yourself.

Wednesday -the day, not the series, as much as I wish it were true - brings us the second season of The Ultimatum: Queer Love. It's another in the ever-increasingly long and interminable line of dating shows that seem to wreck far more lives than they help. Lower case yay. But if that's your thing, enjoy.

Okay, we've reached the big one, the show you've all been waiting for. That's right, let's see what's going to happen on the third iteration of Pokémon Horizons: Season 2: The Search for Laqua. Not what you expected? Me either, but part 3 of the adventures of Liko, Roy, and Dot is here for your viewing pleasure. I just hope Team Rocket makes a comeback.

Okay, now we can talk about season 3 of Squid Game. There doesn't appear to be any doubt that this is indeed the final season of the global hit. Your guess is as good as mine as to the fate of Player 456, Seong Gi-hun. Actually, it's probably much better, as I think he'll wind up winning the game again. But the twist is, the prize is the CEO position of Netflix. So long, Ted, nice knowin' yah!

My advice to you is to expect that the creator totally lost his passion for this show, and that season 3 will be a major disappointment. Not quite Dexter or Game of Thrones level suckitude, but bad, nonetheless. Then, when it's fantastic, somehow surpassing even the first season - well, wouldn't that be nice.
