New on Netflix June 21-27: just four new releases, but one's huge!

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
Every week I publish a curated list of the top new Originals coming to the Netflix library, but this week's list (for additions between Saturday, June 21 and Friday, June 27) is a little different.
That's because the list of four new additions you see below isn't a selected list of new Netflix shows and movies coming this week, but the entire list. One stand-up special, one documentary movie, one reality show and one drama.
If you're wondering: yes, that's a surprisingly light roster of new addition, as I often have to pick between 15+ Netflix Originals for this list. So it's made my job a lot easier!
The likelihood that something will show up on my list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies then is reduced somewhat, but never say never!
So let's find you something new to watch on Netflix this week.
Starting the week is a stand-up special featuring Canadian comedian Steph Tolev, which was filmed at Boston's Paradise Rock Club.
Filth Queen sees Tolev shock audience members and viewers with a reportedly frank and uninhibited persona, and you can probably guess the type of jokes she'll make based on the title alone.
Releases on Tuesday, June 24
The third installment in Netflix's ongoing Trainwreck series of documentary movies about headline-grabbing events is Poop Cruise which debuts one week on from the last entry.
Poop Cruise is about the breaking down of a luxury cruise between Texas and Mexico which left passengers stranded for several days, When the stopped working, toilets overflowed, leaving raw sewage to leak all across the ship, hence the name. Plus, another kind of "revolting" occurred when passengers began to wrest control back for themselves.
Releases on Tuesday, June 24
There have been quite a few different versions of Netflix's The Ultimatum series and you can probably guess Queer Love's spin on it: it's a dating show for same-sex couples. The new season releases over two weeks from Wednesday, June 25.
The Ultimatum is about couples in which one has given the other... well, an ultimatum: "marry me or I leave you". In Queer Love season 2 these six couples will get taken to Miami for a series of tasks and conversations that'll test or strengthen their bond, all aiming at answering the question: will they stay or will they go?
Releases on Wednesday, June 25 and finshes on Wednesday, July 2
Its first season is Netix's most-watched non-English TV show, and its second season is Netflix's second most-watched non-English TV show, and so Squid Game season 3 has big boots to fill when it returns on Friday, June 27.
As you probably know, Squid Game is about an underground game of brutal challenges, and the quest of one man not to win, but to stop them from taking place. His mission has encouraged the games' runner to step down from his metaphorical throne and try to face off against him, and season 3 will determine the fate of the Squid Games.
Releases on Friday, June 27

SI Swimsuit model Camille Kostek claims NFL wives judged her for not having wedding ring

Camille Kostek is opening up about the not-so-glamorous side of dating a professional athlete. The Sports Illustrated model, 33, claimed she was judged by other NFL wives for not being married to boyfriend and former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, 36. "I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger," she shared on an episode of Kristin Cavallari's "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour," according to US Weekly. "But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced." Reps for Kostek did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. Kostek was first linked to Gronkowski in 2015. They previously met in 2013 when the pinup was a cheerleader and Gronkowski was in his third season with the New England Patriots. "Rob and I met when I was 21 years old, and we've been in each other's lives for 10 years," she added. "First breakup was in 2017, but I think that some of the best things that changed the trajectory of my life came from this f---ing breakup that broke me but also allowed me to get in the zone. I didn't care about dating. I felt like I was asexual." Kostek revealed that she decided to chase her dream after the heartbreak. "In that year, I decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which was on my bucket list. I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy. There were so many things I was destined to want to do, and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.'" WAG stands for wives and girlfriends. In May 2024, Kostek shared with Fox News Digital the NFL rule she broke to be in a relationship with Gronkowski. "There is that rule where [you] cannot date the players," Kostek told Fox News Digital at the time. "I broke that one, but I kept it a secret for a little while. It was worth it in the end. "We read our calendars to each other," she chuckled. "We don't spend every waking moment together, so it's exciting for us to get on the phone. It's a common thing weekly to get on the phone together when we're in different states and put out our calendars. "It was my sister's wedding in St. Thomas, and we had our calendars together. We were down on the beach, and I said, 'I have the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch. It's a big one. It's the Legends issue. So, I'm going to be in New York for the first half of the week and then the second half of the week in Miami. And he's like, 'Perfect, I have a podcast to record in New York. I'll be there for your event.' And I'm like, 'Perfect.'"

She Felt 'Deeply Alone' in Her Previous Marriage. Now She Shares Her Polyamorous Relationship Online (Exclusive)

Hayley Folk is in an ethical, non-monogamous relationship with her husband She makes videos and writes about her relationship and partners to raise awareness and fight stigmas Folk shares her relationship online in hopes to help others like her feel less aloneHayley Folk is very open about her relationship. Folk, 30, is a bisexual polyamorous woman who is in an ethical, non-monogamous relationship with her husband. Folk "spent the almost past 10 years coming to terms with being polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and finding relationships that suit me." Folk talks with PEOPLE exclusively about her lifestyle, why she shares her content and what she hopes people learn and take away from her videos and articles. In her first marriage, her husband opened their relationship because he believed it was what she wanted. "I was going in blind and had no clue what I was doing, but through two years of being in an open relationship and then an open marriage, when we got married, I realized I was polyamorous," she explains to PEOPLE. "The relationship ended for multiple reasons, one of them being that my ex-husband realized he was monogamous, and we realized we didn't [work] for each other. We got married young, and then I moved to New York." Once Folk moved to New York, she began dating and met her now-husband, Kyle, with whom she has been open since the beginning of their relationship. Then, Folk began writing professionally about her life online, and for her, it felt like a "therapeutic processing piece." This year, she started sharing videos about her polyamorous lifestyle online and grew her following, sharing an honest look at her life. She receives a lot of comments on her content, both positive and negative. Through her platform, she has built a community of people who discovered they are polyamorous and interested in ethical non-monogamy. Folk has been able to quell misconceptions about what polyamory and ethical non-monogamy look like, including the idea that "polyamory is a way to say out loud that you want to cheat, and that is not the case." "Ethical non-monogamy is an umbrella term, and being polyamorous is having the ability to love multiple people at once. Someone can be polyamorous and be in a closed relationship. The ability to be polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous is so that you can be honest about what you want." In making her content, Folk hopes that ethical non-monogamy can be normalized. "It doesn't have to be something that's taboo. It doesn't have to be something that's a conversation starter, something that everyone else can gawk at," she continues. "What I've come to find over time is that, like queerness, polyamory can be a normal thing. To embody this lifestyle, there is the ability also eventually to come to terms with it, and we're all living our lives in the way that we know how best [to]." Though it varies from relationship to relationship, Folk shares that she and her husband have rules for each other, and she acknowledges that "the rules do fluctuate over time." "We always check in with each other before and after dates with other people. Check-in can be done over text, FaceTime, or in person," she explains. "We like to take the time beforehand to set intentions and check in with each other, and that's something that we strictly abide by." Folk also explains that during these check-ins, they conduct a temperature check on the relationship to ensure they're spending enough time together. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. One of Folk's most significant pieces of advice for those who have been in a monogamous relationship for a while and are looking to open up is to "take your time." "Slower is better. Maybe create a dating profile together and swipe through profiles together, imagining going on dates. Sit down and write out every possible scenario that you are afraid of happening, and talk about those things openly," she details. "Sometimes, people open up as a way to save their relationship or fulfill their partner's needs, but they don't discuss their fears. If you can access those conversations together before you do anything and continue to have those conversations, that's the healthiest way." She also recommends that couples consider investing in a couples therapist who specializes in and understands alternative relationship styles. "You need someone who can truly understand and is coming at it from a completely non-biased perspective." There are many things that Folk enjoys about her relationships, including "not having to hide anything about myself from my primary partner." "There is a level of freedom and transparency that happens when you can truly say anything, and you don't have to filter yourself," Folk shares. "I can be myself openly, honestly and authentically, including the connections I want with other people, and it's okay. It doesn't mean anything is wrong with our relationship or that it's bad." The hardest part about her relationship, Folk shares, is the "judgment from society." "I've developed a very thick skin over the years. I discuss this online for a reason, and some comments are quite harsh," Folk recalls. "I would be lying if I said it didn't affect me at all. I could see for other new [polyamorous] people; maybe that fear of judgment could be the worst part." "I want to help other people. When I opened my previous marriage, I felt so deeply alone. I was searching through Reddit and was following the advice of strangers. I was trying to find any resources," Folk shares. "People don't get it more often than not, so I want to make sure that one person can feel less alone. That's what matters to me. I want to help folks. If I can help at least one person through embarrassing, cringy or sometimes sentimental videos, then that's what I'll do." Read the original article on People
