Keep reading for Showbiz Cheat Sheet’s picks for must-watch Netflix shows in June 2026.
‘Michael Jackson: The Verdict’
Fresh on the heels of the blockbuster biopic Michael, Netflix is delivering a three-part docuseries about the “Thriller” singer’s 2005 trial on child molestation charges. While Jackson was found not guilty, questions have long lingered about the accusations against him, especially after the release of the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, where two men accused Jackson of sexual abuse. Loyal fans have voiced their objections to The Verdict, but that likely won’t stop people from hitting play on the series.
Michael Jackson: The Verdict premieres June 3.
‘Sweet Magnolias’ Season 5
The Magnolias are back, and this time, they’re taking on Manhattan. Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) has landed her dream job in the Big Apple, but she’s not going to let distance dim her friendship with besties Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) and Helen (Heather Headey). Also this season, The Sopranos alum Jamie Lynn-Sigler joins the cast as a writer who befriends Maddie in NYC.
Sweet Magnolias Season 5 premieres June 11.
‘America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ Season 3
A new group of gals are jockeying for the chance to step into their own pair of those iconic white boots. Season 3 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders follows the 2025-26 cheer squad from auditions to the NFL season, with all the joy and heartbreak that comes in between. With more than two dozen returning vets, this year, just six spots are open to newcomers, meaning the competition is tougher than ever.
America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season 3 premieres June 16.
‘Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You’
Netflix’s fruitful partnership with best-selling author Harlan Coben continues with I Will Find You.

Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You premieres June 18.
‘The American Experiment’
The 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is fast approaching, and Netflix is marking the occasion with The American Experiment, a five-part documentary series that reexamines the founding of the United States. Interviewees from across the spectrum will weigh in, including Al Gore, Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, and Rand Paul, along with academics and other experts.
“The American Experiment presents an expansive dialogue about how American democracy has been built, challenged, and reimagined over nearly two and a half centuries,” Netflix’s Vice President of Documentary Adam Del Deo told Tudum. “By revisiting the origins of this experiment at such a pivotal moment, the series invites audiences to consider not just where America has been, but where it might go next.”
