We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
There aren't many shoes you can wear on a walking tour and out dancing, but these Croc platforms can do it all.
1. Reebok Club C Sneakers that look great with just about anything, so you'll probably end up wearing them to death (but it's okay; you can just buy another pair!). Their cushioned insole will keep your feet comfortable and supported no matter where your travels take you!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart is a big fan: "I have three pairs of these babies because they're just so comfortable straight out of the box. You don't have to worry about blisters, and they don't look out of place with dresses and skirts. They're also simple enough to slip on and off when going through the airport, so they check all of my travel boxes!"
Promising review: "Love these shoes! I try to pair these with almost every outfit because they're so comfy and stylish! Recently went to Philly, where I had to walk everywhere because we didn't rent a car, and these were the only pair of shoes I brought (I travel light). These didn't cramp up my feet at all as I walked over seven hours daily over the course of five days. Definitely recommend! But one thing hurts my heart...the creasing at the front of the shoe that comes with loving these shoes so much.😢" — Alli J
Get them from Amazon for $45.21+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in various colors/patterns).
2. Or New Balance sneakers with a supportive foam midsole to keep your feet secure all day. Their retro vibe will pair well with a variety of outfits, and the mix of suede and mesh provides both breathability and much-needed durability.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought these sneakers for an upcoming Disney World trip. I wanted something stylish to wear with jeans and capri pants. I wore them to work one day (I'm a nurse) to break them in. They are soooo comfortable!!! They have lots of room in the toes and great arch support. They are just as comfortable as my Brooks Levitate. I find myself reaching for them all the time. On top of it, they are super cute and stylish." — Deanna McNamara
Get them from Amazon for $86.28+ (available in sizes 4–12 and in seven colors)
3. Adidas Cloudfoam sneakers so you can feel like you're walking on...you guessed it, a cloud! The upper mesh material won't squeeze your feet uncomfortably; instead, it allows them to breathe so you don't overheat. They're ~multifunctional~ so you can explore new cities, hike scenic trails, go on a shopping spree, and more — all in just one pair.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "They felt weird the first time I put them on…but as I started walking in them it got better! Usually my feet are killing me by the end of the day or I'm just super sweaty in my dress shoes, but these are like walking on a literal CLOUD ☁️ and they let my feet breathe!" — Alyssa
"Literally the BEST shoes ever! So comfy. I spent a whole day at Disney with no complaints, normally I'm tired after two hours of walking in the park, but with these babies, I was up and walking alll day with no problem." — Katherine
Get them from Amazon for $38+ (available in sizes 5–11 and 18 colors).
4. Sorel strappy sandals with an EVA footbed that'll have your feet typing out a 5-star review while you sleep. The ridged platform provides an extra level of support that flatforms shoes simply can't. They're just so cushiony and bouncy, not to mention the fun color combos!
Sorel
Promising review:"These shoes are perfect! I was looking for a summer sandal that I could walk in/dance in while also being comfortable. I have flat feet and weak ankles so it was a gamble, but these are so cute and comfy. I will definitely check out their other shoes. I see that other people pointed this out, and it's important to note, the [hook and loop strap] is pretty loose so you may need to readjust a few times, but it's not inconvenient enough to return." — Flatfooted
Get them from Amazon or direct from Sorel for $135 (available in sizes 5–12 and up to 10 colors).
5. Lightweight Croc platforms so you can look chic while strolling through city streets and lounging by the beach. They've got that classic Croc comfort (we're talking foam footbeds that don't leave your soles aching) but are way cuter.
Promising review: "These sandals look cute and are super comfortable at the same time. I can wear these walking for hours and my feet don't hurt. I have three pairs and my sister has five pairs. I'm a nurse so I know a thing or two about our feet hurting. Get this now!" — Placeholder
Get them from Amazon for $46.52+ (available in sizes 3–11 and 18 styles).
6. Barefoot running shoes if you want to try out the gorpcore look (basically a cooler, edgier version of the granola girl aesthetic) on your next adventure. They have flexible soles, a roomy toe box, and zero restrictive padding so your feet can move naturally. And just imagine these paired with flowy fabrics — very cute when prancing through a meadow in Switzerland.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I used to be a diehard platform person until I tried barefoot shoes, and now I genuinely cannot go back. I've never felt so connected to the ground I walk on!
Promising review: "I have worn minimalist barefoot shoes for the last five years as we traveled through Mexico and South America and I can truthfully say they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'm 80-years-old and walking like I'm 40 years younger. I had so many foot problems before I switched to barefoot shoes. I suffered greatly with plantar fasciitis and hip pain for such a long time and all that pain disappeared after wearing these shoes for a short period of time. My only warning on these shoes would be...they will definitely ruin you for ordinary shoes forever! Who doesn't want to be comfortable and pain free?" — DD
Get them from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes 5.5–12 and in 30 colors).
7. Teva midform sandals that come in a wide array of colors and styles. They're built to handle all types of terrain and dry quickly, so they're a must-have for rainy hikes or trips to the lake. Annnd they look really cute with socks, so you can still wear 'em if the temps drop!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
FYI, aside from their style and comfort, Tevas are *known* for their durability — one reviewer said their first pair lasted for over 20 YEARS. This isn't your average sandal that falls apart after one season.
Promising reviews: "These sandals are SO comfortable. I got them to wear on a trip to Hawaii, and they were the best thing I brought. Easy to walk in the sand, so commutable to walk on any terrain. You can wash them off if they get dirty. So cushy and soft. Velcro for easy walking and adjustments. Such a good sandal for a walking or beach trip. I can't wait to wear them this summer. They are so cute too!! The mid-height is the perfect height and can be dressed up or down. So cute with activewear or with a summer dress. Love!!" — natasha
"My niece recommended Teva so I decided to give it a try, especially for an upcoming trip to the mountains. Yesterday, I was caught in a rainstorm and stepped into a stream of rainwater that was over my feet. My Tevas performed beautifully. They dried quickly, didn't slip in the water, and they also stayed perfectly on my feet. I like the adjustability of the straps in several places where you can fit it to your foot. I actually bought two pairs (different colors) of Tevas at the same time, and I am enjoying both of them! I highly recommend!" — J L Phillips
Get them from Amazon for $46.95+ (available in sizes 5–14 and so many colors/patterns/styles).
8. Or some Skechers sport sandals for long days of sightseeing. Not only do they feel like walking on marshmallows, but their stylish look makes them easy to pair with everything from dresses to jeans — oh, and reviewers with wide feet love them!
And they're machine washable!
Promising reviews: "These are my second pair and I absolutely love them. I have walked theme parks for days, Florida in the heat, Caribbean islands, and cruise ships. They are comfortable, waterproof, dry quickly, maintain their shape, straps stay secure (even on rollercoasters) and great for the beach (sand dusts off easily). If you have a wide foot, invest in a pair of these. I also like how thick the bottoms are, which gives you extra support when walking over rocks." — BellaNV
" I wore these for 10 straight hours with over six miles of walking right out of the box and had zero foot pain. I'm 61, and my feet are often achy. I used to wear thong sandals but can't stand anything between my toes anymore so decided to try these. Now, I want them in every color. They fit true to size and have great arch support. We had to walk down an extremely steep hill, and they had plenty of traction to keep me from slipping." — EGC
Get them from Amazon for $49.13+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 13 styles).
9. Platform Converse so you can get the classic Chuck Taylor look with MORE cushioning! You already know these can be styled a million different ways (people have been posting cute outfits in them since the dawn of the internet) and are durable enough to handle the wear and tear of traveling.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachelle Yang says, "I had these bbs for three years but had to say goodbye to them because it was finally their time to go. 🥲 I first got these shoes because I have very weak ankles and needed shoes that would support them, but these did waaaay more than that. The platforms were a lot comfier than I thought they were going to be, and I wore these EVERYWHERE. From concerts to hikes to beaches, these bad boys really put in the work and held up through everything. I never had a moment when I felt uncomfy with these on, and besides all that, they're SO SO SO cute!!!"
Promising review: "I've owned many pairs of Converse in my life, and these are the most comfortable I've ever worn. With the platform there's more cushion in the bottom, making them so comfy. They're absolutely adorable, and who doesn't want to be just a couple of inches taller? :) Now I just need them in black!" — Jennifer Kaul
Get them from Amazon for $66+ (available in sizes 6–13 and in various styles/colors).
10. Some splurgeworthy Rothy's flats made from a stretchy knit material that you don't have to break in (thank you, magic shoe inventors 🙏), AND they're machine washable. Easy to wear, easy to clean — what more can you ask for? Plus, they'll easily fit in the fullest of suitcases, making them the perfect travel companion.
Rothy's
It's recommended to go half a size up if you have narrow feet and a full size up for wider feet in this particular style!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes backs that up: "I have a pair of Rothy's flats, and though I usually wear an 8, I went with an 8.5, and they fit perfectly. Though I haven't had the chance to wear them a *ton* (because I WFH most days), I have commuted in them several times with no issues. They're super comfy and feel so lightweight and stretchy! I have them in the neutral Ecru color, but they come in a ton of gorgeous colors — if I were going into the office regularly, I'd be tempted to grab them in several shades. Psst — check out my colleagues' full Rothy's flats review for more deets!"
Promising review:"I have lived with bunions for many years and have to be very careful with the cut of a shoe in that area of my foot. Rothy's felt like walking on a cloud the minute I put them on and that comfort has not stopped." — Jane C.
Get them from Rothy's for $129 (available in sizes 5–13 and in 17 colors/patterns). Rothy's flats come in a bunch of different styles, and you can check them out here!
11. Or Vionic Mary Jane flats with removable cushioned insoles that provide arch support and adjustable straps to keep them from flying off your feet! These'll instantly turn jeans and a simple top into a stylish 'fit — perfect for that trip to Paris.
Nordstrom
Promising review: "These will be great with jeans when I don't want to wear sneakers. In terms of design, they do not disappoint, the fit is accurate, the leather is lovely and of course the Vionic insole is just soooo perfect. I might have to grab another color. I am intrigued by both the charcoal and the tan metallic!" — Lucysmom
Get them from Nordstrom for $129.95 (available in sizes 5–13 and in five colors).
12. Espadrille platform sandals because usually shoes this cute come with aches and pains — but not these. And they have the seal of approval from reviewers with wide feet!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have had the brown color of these sandals for going on three years now. They are the most comfortable sandal ever. I've worn them all over on several vacations, all over Vegas. No blisters!! So cute and casual. Ordered white and will probably order the black! They are my favorite ever!!!" — Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 29 color/style combinations).
13. Durable Columbia hiking boots with sturdy ankle support and high-traction, cushioned soles that'll keep you comfortable whether you're hiking or just walking through town.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers swear these don't even have a break-in period, making them a great option for that last-minute outdoorsy trip where hiking and rough terrain are on the docket. It's recommended to go up a half size in these boots to accommodate thicker hiking socks.
Promising review: "T hese shoes were perfect for winter hiking. They were warm and super comfortable hiking in. They gripped pretty well on ice compared to my partners, but still recommend spikes if hiking in icy conditions. The tongue can be a bit uncomfortable at first, but once broken in, you can't tell." — Marie
Get them from Amazon for $49.09+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 12 colors). You can find a version in men's sizes here.
14. Or Merrell hiking shoes that can pass for a casual sneaker, so they're especially perfect for trips where you're doing a mix of hiking and city strolling. Reviewers love that they don't need to be broken in, and they look great with flowy pants and skirts!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "These are my summer hiking shoes. I put over 500 miles on them so far, and they're still great. Still have great tread and don't slip at all. I like the shorter ones for summer because I burn up. They're water resistant, too. I have metatarsal pain in my right foot, and these are the best ones that I have found for my foot. Also, they have a huge toe box and a nice snug heel, so downhill is just fine. Love em!" — Courtney B
Get them from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in sizes 5–13 and 25 colors).
15. Lightweight Tioseban sneakers you can easily slip on and off as you go through security — and when you are tiredly trying to make it to the complimentary hotel breakfast before it closes. The memory foam insole is so good, your feet will cry when it's time to take them off.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Sizing up a half size if you have wide feet is recommended.
Promising review:"I have worn these shoes on many trips. Bought these in red years ago and most recently traveled through two countries in them. Did a lot of walking. Even climbed up and down through all the steps in Petra, Jordan. They held well and still have a lot of use. And I also love the pop of red in my travel pics!" — Noor
Get them from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes 5–13, wide, and in 32 colors).
16. Dr. Scholl's slip-on sneakers reviewers have clocked miles in without experiencing any pain or blisters. They'll pair perfectly with all your travel 'fits, and one reviewer even wore them while walking on a VOLCANO, which is wild considering they are so dainty and cute!
Promising reviews: "Travel tested and approved — LOVE!! My hairdresser friend recommended these since she's always on her feet. They were so reasonable so I ordered them for my South Africa honeymoon trip. They were INCREDIBLE!!! My feet never hurt and I walked a ton of miles in them. They also went with a ton of outfits, so I was very happy!!! I highly recommend!" — Leah Gwin Hoefling
"These shoes were recommended as comfortable walking shoes. They absolutely are the best! I bought these shoes to have a stylish, casual shoe for a NYC/DC seven-day tour. I walked an average of 7–8 miles a day even in a downpour. Not a single blister or pain of any kind. If you are searching for stylish, casual, and comfortable, then these are it. Easy on and off, water-resistant, and coordinates with all outfits." — S. Lee
Get it from Amazon for $50 (available in sizes 5–13, including wide sizes, and in 21 designs).
17. Huarache sandals to keep your feet cool and comfy as you explore cobblestone streets, walk on the beach, then eat at a ~very noice~ restaurant. Handcrafted from genuine leather, these shoes are designed to mold to your feet with each wear, becoming even more comfortable the longer you have them!
Macarena Collection / Etsy
Macarena Collection is a small California-based business. All of their shoes are handmade by Mexican artisans.
Sizing note: These are only made in whole sizes, and the seller recommends sizing up if you wear a half size (so, for example, if you wear a 7.5, you should get a size 8). If you normally wear a whole size, just order that size!
Promising review:"Quality is awesome, and I love the leather smell. Makes my whole closet smell good! Perfectly comfortable right out of the box. Wore them all day, no blisters! Color is pretty pale but it goes with everything." — esnotary
Get them from Macarena Collection on Etsy for $46.49 (originally $61.99; available in sizes 5–10).
18. Classic Blundstones designed with a shock-absorbing, cushioned footbed for ~maximum~ comfort and water-resistant leather that'll keep your feet dry and toasty in cold climates. Plus, their versatile, timeless look means you can style them for an early morning hike or a night out on the town — and they're built to last for years.
Promising review: "I LOVE them! They are cute and stylish, but also keep my feet warm. They seem to be fairly resistant to the salt crud in parking lots and on sidewalks in the winter too. I like that they aren't too heavy and remain comfortable even with a lot of walking around or wearing them all day. Some boots get heavy and cumbersome, these do not!" — JPalmer
Get them from Amazon for $180.82 (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors).
19. Allbirds Tree Runners that are breathable, lightweight, and moisture-wicking — aka your feet will stay cool and fresh, even after a full day of trekking through city streets. They're stylish enough to pair with literally anything in your suitcase (hello, versatility!) and the cushioned insoles mean your feet get VIP treatment wherever you go.
Allbirds
Its shoelaces are even made from recycled plastic bottles! Designed with lightweight eucalyptus fibers made to keep you cool in warmer weather, these runners can be tossed in the wash and set out to air dry without losing their shape.
Promising review:"I bought these for a trip to Turkey and Greece. I didn't have any break in time, but didn't need any. They were as comfortable as slippers, but offer support for miles of daily walking. I'll be buying more." — Mary
Get them from Allbirds for $98 (available in sizes 5–11 and 15 styles).
20. Or some breathable sport shoes you can wear all day, every day, and *not* deal with achy, suffocated feet. The unique texture of the knit stitching will add a cool dimension to your 'fits — even if you're just wearing sweats on the way to the airport. This is also a great shoe option for people whose feet tend to swell!
Promising review:"I have never been compelled to write a review, but these shoes are soooo beautiful!!! I got the pink and gold and they are comfy and pretty. I cannot keep count of the total strangers on the street stopping me and saying how much they love my shoes and asking me where I got them!!! This price is amazing, and I truly can say I got bang for my buck! True to size, I'm an 8 and ordered the 8 and they fit perfectly." — Dora M.
Get them from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors).
21. Handwoven, buttery soft Diana leather loafers for your relaxation vacation to Bora Bora. They slip on easily with no bending required and are ridiculously comfortable for walking around town!

Get it from Miuccia Studio on Etsy for $76.50 (originally $90; available in European sizes 36–43 and US sizes 6–13, and in six colors).
22. Dansko clogs providing that essential arch support for all-day wear, whether you're exploring new cities or strolling through scenic spots. It's not every day you find a shoe you can walk miles in and wear out to a fancy restaurant!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I really like these. I have two pairs, easy to dress up or down. When traveling they work with dresses, slacks, capris, even shorts. And my feet don't hurt!" — Dona Rose
Get them from Amazon for $124.95 (available in sizes 4.5–13 and 13 colors).
23. The iconic fan-favorite Birkenstock Arizona sandals with a cork footbed that molds to your feet over time, giving you that perfect custom fit that's both supportive and cushy. They're great for places with dynamic weather since you can rock them with a sundress one day, then socks and a sweater the next!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Several of my BuzzFeed Shopping colleagues *swear* by their Birks — you can read their thoughts here and here.
Promising review:"Very pleased with purchase. This is my sixth pair of Birkenstocks. The stone color is great and complementary neutral. I 'broke them in' for five days around the house before traveling to NYC and comfortably walked 23 miles over 4 days without any foot/leg/back pain!" — C. Hoffman
Get them from Amazon for $67.04+ (available in a wide range of men's and women's sizes, including narrow sizes, and 16 styles).
24. Or Cushionaire slides that you don't have to break in (sorry, Birkenstocks) — the cushioned insole and pliable cork footbed make them comfortable right out of the box!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price, but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." — Han Lin
Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles).
25. Stylish waterproof leather boots made to handle everything from icy trails to puddle-filled streets, keeping your feet dry and supported during your trip to Ireland. And as stylish as they are, these boots are tough enough to conquer that challenging mountain trail you've been eyeing!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Absolutely love these boots! I needed a pair of sturdy hiking boots that looked cute, would last a long time, were water resistant, and would wipe off easily after a muddy day. I wore these for roughly two miles of hiking and maybe two miles of walking to break them in before wearing them for a nine-mile hike in the Appalachians. I was so impressed with how comfortable they were, just the right amount of grip, they were warm, and they kept my feet dry and my ankles supported. 10/10 I would buy these again and will definitely be buying a second pair once the first pair is worn out." — Emma
Get it from Amazon for $91.63+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).
26. Dr. Martens gladiator sandals that are the perfect combo of edgy and comfy, and you can tie the straps as securely as you like! Your feet will thank you (and look fabulous in your vacation pics).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought these for walking long distances in my city. I wanted something to look cute but be comfortable. The leather is a bit stiff so I wore them for short distances a few times before wearing them out to do errands. I covered three miles in them yesterday then went to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers and danced for two hours, and my feet felt great! I'm a high heel girl, but if you need comfortable soft sandals, these are the ones. If you don't wanna [take] the time to break them in (I mean they ARE Docs after all), just buy some moleskin and attach it to the stiff bits. BTW, TONS of compliments, too." — Chris Quinlivan & Dion Serene
Get them from Amazon for $50.61+ (available in sizes 5–11 and three colors).
27. Super cushy Hoka sneakers so your feet can feel pampered from the airport terminal all the way to that canyon you're determined to hike. The sleek design means they'll easily match anything in your suitcase, and the comfort factor is simply next-level.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Love these shoes; I can walk with them all day. Took them to Disney three days in a row. Great quality. I have a high arch, and they are amazing for me." — Yamilette Aguilar
Get them from Amazon for $168.99+ (available in sizes 8–14 and in 34 colors).
28. Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes if you'd like that "walking on clouds" feeling without the splurge, thanks to their THICK, cushioned, shock-absorbent insole.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with these shoes. They have a similar squishy, thick, and supportive sole like the expensive brand at a third of the price. Such a great value. Fit great, very accommodating to a wide foot/wide toe box. Excellent traction for wet surfaces and trails. Also, cute in a dad shoe way — love them!" — Mandy Williams
"I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this: I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these!" — Jennifer Emilien
Get them from Amazon for $67.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).

Everything new on Prime Video in June 2025 - catch Robert Eggers' Nosferatu and over 50 new movies

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Recently, I've been very pleased with the content that Prime Video has been releasing, and a large majority of titles I've been streaming over the past few months have come from Prime Video's movie library. Over the next few weeks, I'm looking forward to seeing what new Prime Video titles will be blessing our TV screens in June 2025, including Prime Video original shows and a whole new wave of movies. Nosferatu (2024) is the obvious standout, which I'll have to squeeze into our best Prime Video movies list. Beyond Robert Eggers' latest gothic thriller, Prime Video is expanding each of its genre categories, adding cowboy drama Brokeback Mountain (2006), sport comedy Moneyball (2011), and sci-fi/ action Godzilla (2014), keeping up its reputation as one of the best streaming services. It should be noted that, while the Prime Video Movie and TV Originals listed below are released worldwide, many of the third-party films and TV series that Amazon has licensed for June are only available in the US.

The live-action series' launch date was announced at Mexico Comic-Con 2025 (CCXP) on Saturday, May 31. Like many other Amazon TV Originals, Gen V's second season will launch with a three-episode premiere. The remaining five chapters will air weekly after that until its finale on October 22. As for who'll be back on campus for the series' sophomore outing, Jaz Sinclair returns as protagonist Marie Moreau. Lizze Broadway's Emma Meyer, Maddie Phillips' Cate Dunlap, London Thor/Derek Luh's Jordan Li, Asa Germann's Sam Riordan, and Sean Patrick Thomas' Polarity are also set to return. They'll be joined by Hamish Linklater, who's the first newcomer to be announced for one of the best Prime Video shows' next chapter. The Midnight Mass and Batman: Caped Crusader actor on board as Cipher, aka Goldolkin University's new and morally complicated Dean. Major spoilers follow for Gen V season 1. To answer that query, we'll turn our attention to the first trailer and official plot brief for Gen V season 2. Let's deal with the trailer first. Surprisingly, it confirms that Marie, Jordan and Emma will be reinstated as students at Godolkin University. As my Gen V season 1 ending explainer, well, explained, the trio were imprisoned by Vought for their part in the chaos that engulfed their Supes-only college in last season's finale. Before The Boys season 4 aired, I'd predicted that's where they would remain until the titular Supe-bashers broke them out of jail. Given how The Boys season 4 ended, though, that scenario is, at the time of writing, highly unlikely to happen. So, why has this trio been released, and how does Gen V season 2 tie into events of The Boys' fourth installment? To answer those questions, may I point you in the direction in Gen V 2's story synopsis. "In season 2, school is back in session," it reads. "As the rest of America adjusts to Homelander's iron fist, back at Godolkin University, the mysterious new Dean preaches a curriculum that promises to make students more powerful than ever. Cate and Sam are celebrated heroes, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma reluctantly return to college, burdened by months of trauma and loss. "But, parties and classes are hard to care about with war brewing between Humans and Supes, both on and off campus," it continues. "The gang learns of a secret program that goes back to the founding of Godolkin University that may have larger implications than they realize. And, somehow, Marie is a part of it." So, Gen V's second season will deal with the fallout from its predecessor and The Boys' fourth installment. It'll address why Andre, aka the high-school Supe played by Chance Perdomo in season 1, won't return as well. Perdomo died in March 2024 following a motorbike accident but, rather than recast Andre, Gen V's creative team tweaked this season's story to explain what happened to Andre off-screen. Based on what the teaser shows, it'll be one of this season's most emotional subplots, too. Throw in Cipher's plan to create a new army of Supes who'll answer to the tyrannical Homelander, the potential for this so-called secret program to be integral to the main show's final season, and cameos from The Boys – Firecracker makes a brief appearance in season 2's initial trailer – and Gen V season 2 looks like it'll be a highly charged affair ahead of The Boys season 5's eventual launch. With filming on the latter series ongoing, its arrival on one of the world's best streaming services isn't likely to happen until 2026.

5 new Prime Video movies with over 91% on Rotten Tomatoes to stream in June

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There are over 50 new movies coming to Prime Video in June 2025, so you're in for a treat if Prime Video is your go-to streaming service. After scouring through its list of new titles, I've done my best to select five new movies with over 91% on Rotten Tomatoes you should watch over the next few weeks. Kicking off the list with a Hollywood classic crime drama, this is followed by two more crime movies, made up of a legal drama from the '90s and a crime comedy starring Marilyn Monroe. Additionally, there's a sports drama from director Bennett Miller and a Clint Eastwood war movie joining one of the best streaming services, all of which will be fighting for a place in our selection of best Prime Video movies. As mentioned in our full list of new Prime Video titles for this month, while the Prime Video Movie and TV Originals are released worldwide, it could be the case that many of the third-party films Amazon has licensed for June will only be available to stream in the US. With that said, you should bear this in mind when scouring through our list. RT score: 100%Age rating: N/ARuntime: 95 minutesDirector: Sidney LumetArriving on: June 1 Though it's been nearly 70 years since Sidney Lumet's masterpiece was released, it has truly stood the test of time, becoming a landmark courtroom drama and one of the greatest movies ever made. Starring Hollywood legend Henry Fonda, 12 Angry Men is set in the backdrop of New York City and offers commentary on the complex nature of the American justice system, bringing the tension of classic American theater to the screen. During a murder trial, 12 jurors must argue whether the teenage suspect in question is responsible for the death of his father. Their attempt to reach a unanimous decision proves to be more difficult than expected when Juror No.8 (Fonda) expresses his uncertainty on different parts of the case, resulting in a courtroom battle where personal issues arise and conflict between the jurors makes them question each other's morals and preconceptions about the trial. RT score: 95%Age rating: RRuntime: 122 minutesDirector: Tim RobbinsArriving on: June 1 Director Tim Robbins had established himself in show business as a successful actor in movies The Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Top Gun (1986), prior to taking a seat in the director's chair. Dead Man Walking is the second legal drama in this month's Prime Video recommendations roundup, adapted from the non-fiction book of the same name. As death row inmate Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn) gets closer to his execution date, he enlists the help of Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon) for one last appeal. In the time leading up to his execution, Prejean visits Poncelet's family as well as the loved ones of the victims to understand the case better. In the process, she acts as a spiritual counsellor for him, and the two form a special bond. RT score: 94%Age rating: PG-13Runtime: 133 minutesDirector: Bennett Miller Arriving on: June 1 Moneyball is one of those movies that seems to yo-yo between streaming platforms whenever a new monthly schedule is announced. It was added to Paramount+ back in April, and now it's available to stream on Prime Video this month. Miller's sports drama was adapted from Michael Lewis' book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by screenwriters Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin - who had previously served as writers on movies such as Schindler's List (1993) and The Social Network (2010), respectively. The premise is: Manager of the Oakland A baseball team, Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), hatches a plan to outsmart wealthier baseball clubs by reinventing his team with only a fraction of the budget other clubs receive. To get his plan up and running, he enlists Ivy League graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), whom he tasks with going through the major leagues to scout undervalued talent - an old sports analytics method. RT score: 95%Age rating: N/ARuntime: 120 minutesDirector: Billy Wilder Arriving on: June 1 Hollywood veterans Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon star alongside legend Marilyn Monroe in this crime comedy flick from Billy Wilder - the master director behind some of the greatest movies from Hollywood's Golden Age including Sunset Boulevard (1950), Sabrina (1954), and The Seven Year Itch (1955), which also stars Monroe. Some Like It Hot is a campy balance between drama, crime, and comedy. Set during the Prohibition era, saxophone player Joe (Tony Curtis) and his friend Jerry (Jack Lemmon) bear witness to a Mafia murder. Worried for their lives, they devise a plan to escape Chicago, disguising themselves as women. RT score: 91%Age rating: RRuntime: 141 minutesDirector: Clint Eastwood Arriving on: June 1 Taking a departure from the crime movies and sports drama in this list, Clint Eastwood's Japanese-language American war movie (which was also co-produced by Steven Spielberg) takes the fifth spot with a score of 91%. Set during the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II, the movie portrays the conflict from the perspective of Japanese troops who are defending the island - serving as a companion movie to Eastwood's 2006 war drama Flags of Our Fathers, which depicts the same conflict from the American viewpoint. Saigo (Kazunari Ninomiya), Baron Nishi (Tsuyoshi Ihara), and Shimizu (Ryô Kase) are just some of the Japanese troops preparing for an attack from the American soldiers. With their diminishing supplies and poor conditions in the tunnels, seasoned veteran Lt. Gen. Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) uses his skills to hold off the opposition for as long as he can, knowing that his side has almost zero chance at survival. Prime Video's Carrie TV remake cast has been revealed, and it marks the latest lap of the Matthew Lillard renaissance tour Prime Video reveals Gen V season 2 release date, and its first trailer reveals how it might set the stage for The Boys season 5 7 tense thrillers on Prime Video with 100% Rotten Tomatoes scores you can't miss
