Netflix has detailed its summer 2026 film slate, with new titles releasing through June, July and August. The full lineup, published on Netflix Tudum and tracked by What's on Netflix, covers a mix of comedy, animation, thriller and family titles released roughly every one to two weeks across the three-month stretch.

June

The slate opens on June 5 with Office Romance, a workplace rom-com starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, framed by Netflix as one of its tentpole comedy releases of the season. The Mexican stop-motion animation I Am Frankelda follows on June 12, set in 19th-century Mexico and following a writer whose dark tales come to life. The John Cena and Eric André comedy Little Brother arrives June 26.Avatar: The Last Airbender also returns for its second season during the month, anchoring the streamer's family-television offering across the school-holiday window.

July

Millie Bobby Brown returns as the title character in Enola Holmes 3 on July 1, with the case — per Netflix's own log line — relocating to Malta and described as more “tangled and treacherous” than her previous outings. Kevin Hart then headlines the Tim Story-directed workplace comedy 72 Hours on July 24, leaning on the streamer's continuing relationship with broad-comedy stars.

August

The summer closes with The Last House on August 7, a claustrophobic sci-fi thriller starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura about a family suddenly sealed inside its home, and the Melanie Lynskey and Steve Buscemi dramedy Don't Say Good Luck on August 14.

How it reaches UAE viewers

Netflix releases on its global slate are normally available in the UAE on the same day as other international markets, subject to standard regional licensing.Variety notes that the streamer is leaning heavily on theatrical-style talent across the season. For UAE subscribers, the slate is straightforward: a fresh title every one to two weeks across the three-month stretch, with the strongest concentration of comedy and family content arriving alongside the summer school holidays.
