Top reasons to cancel Netflix and Paramount+ in June 2026

June is finally here, which means warmer days, quick getaways, and less time spent endlessly scrolling for something to watch. It’s a good time to think about your streaming subscriptions and whether they’re really worth it, especially with prices on the rise.

According to Lending Tree, the average American spends around $84 per month on a mix of streaming services. With costs going up, it may make sense to rotate services in and out based on what’s actually worth watching each month.

For June 2026, two services that might be good to hit pause on are Netflix and Paramount+. While they both have some new releases, the offerings this month might not be enough to justify the monthly cost.

Netflix, the go-to streaming app for many, is known for its endless library of content. However, this month’s lineup is a bit light on the buzzy originals that usually justify the price tag. There are a few standout titles, like the return of “Sweet Magnolias” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender” season 2, but nothing that screams must-watch immediately.

In terms of new releases, Netflix has a Harlan Coben thriller series, “I Will Find You,” premiering on June 18, as well as a couple of romantic comedies. While these are exciting, they might not be enough to keep you glued to your screen all month.

Paramount+, on the other hand, is essential during the regular TV season for CBS shows and sports events. However, in June, the platform might not offer as much value. The main draw is “Dutton Ranch,” a “Yellowstone” spinoff, but that series will be airing through early July. So, you could cancel Paramount+ now and catch up later in one go.

There’s also the second season of “The Agency” returning on June 21, but if you’re fine with waiting to binge-watch, canceling for a bit might be a good option.

If you’re looking to cut back on expenses, taking a break from Netflix and Paramount+ in June could give your budget some breathing room. It’s worth considering, especially if this month’s offerings don’t quite hit the mark for you.
