The Philly-based season will have 10 episodes instead of the usual eight, but many of the other details remain a mystery.

The new season is almost certain to have the same heart and positivity as the previous seasons in Georgia, Kansas City and Japan. So if you blubbered your way through past episodes, makes sure to have those tissues ready again in June.

Other new content coming to Netflix in June includes Greta Gerwig's Oscar-nominated "Lady Bird" (June 3), the fourth season of the controversial show "13 Reasons Why" (June 5) and the next installment of Ryan Murphy's comedy-drama "The Politician" (TBA).
