It’s the first week of the new month, which typically means a stack of fresh Netflix content. While this weekend’s offerings aren’t the meatiest we’ve seen, there are still plenty of great shows and movies appearing. Here’s the full list!

Netflix is saving most of its heavy hitters in June for next week – including Season 5 of Black Mirror. With that said, binge-watchers are still be spoiled for choice this weekend with more than 25 new titles landing on the service.

Here are the official synopses for each film and TV show. The French-Belgian thriller Black Spot could be worth a look – it’s been receiving a lot of praise and is now in its second season. We’re also keen to check out the South Korean fantasy series Arthdal Chronicles (pictured above.)
