With dragons, chefs and superheroes returning to screens soon, you could be spending a lot of time in front of the TV. Another highly anticipated streaming title coming in June is Hit Man, starring Glen Powell.
Directed by Richard Linklater, and written by Linklater and Powell, the flick follows Powell’s character, Gary Johnson, a fake hit man who actually works for the New Orleans Police Department. One of Johnson’s clients, Madison (played by Adria Arjona), falls for one of Johnson’s various hit man personas, and “their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception and escalating stakes,” according to the Netflix synopsis. A 2001 story in Texas Monthly inspired the flick.
Hit Man currently has an impressive Metacritic score of 83. Here’s exactly when you can watch it in the US, and what you need to know about Netflix’s current subscriptions.
When to watch ‘Hit Man’ on Netflix
In the US? You should be able to watch Hit Man on June 7, starting at 3 a.m. ET/midnight PT. It’s also currently in select movie theaters.
Last weekend, Netflix surprise-dropped Godzilla Minus One. Today, it premiered season 3 of Sweet Tooth, and the streamer’s June releases also include part 2 of Bridgerton’s season 3 and the Nicole Kidman-Zac Efron romantic comedy, A Family Affair. If you don’t have Netflix, you can choose between standard with ads, ad-free standard and ad-free premium plans.
If you have a standard subscription for $15.50 a month or a premium subscription for $23 a month, you can add an extra member who doesn’t live in your household for an additional fee of $8 a month. (Premium lets you add two.) Note that some titles are locked because of licensing restrictions on the $7 a month ad-supported plan.
