Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (June 19)

With the weekend fast approaching, Netflix has binge-watchers covered with the newest round of additions slated to be added. This weekend, the popular streaming service will be adding a total of 11 new titles, 10 of which are Netflix original series, films, and specials, with enough options to satiate everyone’s genre cravings. The new additions include several documentaries, a little romance, and the return of one popular series.

Unlike with past weekends, the new additions will not come with many losses. While several titles have already been given the ax, no titles will be leaving the streaming this weekend as the new titles are stocked. Of course, that doesn’t mean that subscribers are entirely in the clear, as dozens of titles are still on the chopping block as the month draws to a close.

Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.
