June on Netflix is more than just the shoulder season between seasons of “Stranger Things,” especially on the international front.
The cult hit British crime drama “Peaky Blinkers” (June 10), which aired in the U.K. earlier this year, returns for its sixth and final season. The violent exploits of the early-20th-century Birmingham gang pick up four years after we last saw them, with Prohibition over, fascism on the rise and Tommy (Cillian Murphy) turning to the lucrative opium trade.
Also among the international offerings: “Borgen — Power & Glory” (June 2), a new season of the acclaimed Danish political drama (and first since 2013) that finds former prime minister Birgitte (Sidse Babett Knudson) now the country’s foreign minister and dealing with an international crisis after oil is discovered in Greenland; and “Money Heist: Korea — Joint Economic Area” (June 24), a Korean reboot of the hit Spanish crime drama, about a gang of thieves who take over the mint of a newly reunified Korea.
Netflix /zigman2/quotes/202353025/composite NFLX +5.54% also has the third season of one of its most popular shows, ”The Umbrella Academy” (June 22), which sees the young superheroes returning home (after time-traveling to stop an apocalypse in 1963 last season) only to clash with the rival Sparrow Academy.
Another YA drama that could be Netflix’s next big hit is “First Kill” (June 10), about a teenage vampire who falls in love with a vampire hunter, both eager to make their first kill.
