This week's Netflix highlights: Sweet Tooth and 4 new releases to watch (June 3-7)
By Reed Gaudens
It's officially June, and for millions of Netflix fans, that mean's Bridgerton season 3 part 2 is closer than ever. But before we can dive into the conclusion of Colin and Penelope's story on June 13, there's a whole week full of Netflix new releases that are not to be missed.
Between a throwback sitcom that's celebrating the 10th anniversary of its polarizing series finale, a Netflix original series signing off with its final season, and a brand-new original movie starring one of the biggest actors of the moment, there's something for everyone to watch among this week's Netflix highlights.
How I Met Your Mother
Suit up! The complete series of How I Met Your Mother landed on Netflix on June 3, marking the sitcom's return to the platform after years away. It's been 10 years since HIMYM signed off with its series finale, which has been the topic of much debate and derision in that decade. In case you haven't watched the series and this will be your first watch, I won't spoil what happens, but just enjoy the journey. With nine seasons and over 200 episodes, the comedy will definitely keep you busy this week.
Sweet Tooth season 3
It's been a long time coming, but the third and final season of Sweet Tooth makes its premiere on June 6. The series was a huge hit on Netflix when it debuted back in 2021 and followed up with the hit second season last year. As much as Sweet Tooth fans wish the series wasn't ending after only three seasons, the show will definitely be going out with a bang. No doubt, it's going to be a bittersweet and emotional final season as we find out how Gus and Jepperd's story ends.
Hit Man
The man of the hour Glen Powell follows up his blockbuster romantic comedy Anyone But You with the Netflix original black comedy Hit Man. In the movie from writer-director Richard Linklater, who co-wrote the movie with Powell, a college professor finds himself posing as a hitman to help the police department arrest those looking to use his services. He ends up falling for a woman seeking to have her husband killed. The irresistible movie comes ahead of Powell's upcoming summer popcorn movie Twisters, hitting theaters in July.
Perfect Match season 2
Pretty locations, pretty people, and pretty wild drama! Netflix's reality series Perfect Match returns this week with a new cast of singles from the streamer's various reality dating series, and it's going to be one hot summer with this group. The first six episodes of the season drop on June 7, while the second batch of three episodes releases on June 14 and the finale arrives on June 21. If you're a fan of reality TV and the chaos they create, don't miss the season's kick off this week!
