3 of the biggest Netflix releases coming next week that belong on your watchlist

Netflix is heating up the second half of June with a handful of high-profile TV series coming next week that couldn’t be more different from each other — and there’s a good chance that at least one of the three we’re going to preview in this post will land squarely in your wheelhouse. Whether you’re in the mood for a Southern drama filled with crime and family secrets or a docuseries about one of the most famous professional cheerleading squads, we’re pretty sure there’s something here worth adding to your queue.

And if all else fails? At least Phil Rosenthal is back with another season of food-fueled globetrotting that’s practically comfort TV on demand.

Here’s a look at three new Netflix TV releases hitting the streaming giant over the next several days that we think are worth adding to your watchlist:

America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders – Season 2 (June 18)

High kicks, big hair, and AC/DC’s Thunderstruck blaring through AT&T Stadium? That all obviously means one thing — the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are back.

Season 2 of America’s Sweethearts on Netflix picks up right where Season 1 ended, dropping us back into the pressure cooker of open tryouts. Young women from all over are chasing one of the most coveted roles in cheerleading, and just because someone made the team last year doesn’t mean they’re safe this time around. Even returning fan favorites like Reece and Kelly V have to fight to keep their spots.

Directed by Cheer creator Greg Whiteley, the series once again looks behind the sparkle and pom-poms and into the real lives of the women wearing those iconic blue and white uniforms. We follow the cheerleaders not just through rehearsals and their intense routines, but through their private struggles with mental health, financial pressure, body image, and social media drama.

Somebody Feed Phil – Season 8 (June 18)

The world may be complicated, but one thing remains thankfully simple: Watching Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal eat makes everything seem better. At least for a little while.

The host of Somebody Feed Phil is back for his eighth season in this Netflix classic, bringing his infectious enthusiasm, dad jokes, and insatiable curiosity to a fresh batch of foodie adventures. As always, Rosenthal doesn’t just show up for the food; he’s there for the people, the culture, and the conversation around the table.
