Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV+: 10 of the best new shows to stream in June
Stick From Wednesday, June 4th, Apple TV+ What do washed-up sports stars do when they've reached the end of the road and are looking for a signpost to redemption? Easy: they just stumble on a young prodigy, preferably from a dysfunctional background and with a few anger issues, and take them under their wing. Pryce Cahill is a former pro golfer – nicknamed Stick – whose career ended 20 years ago, followed soon after by his marriage and his job at a sporting-goods store. With lots of time on his hands and little else in prospect, Pryce encounters Santi, a troubled teenager who happens to be a genius with a golf club. Can Pryce help Santi hit the heights of PGA success that he never reached himself? And does Santi even want success? Owen Wilson stars as Stick in this comedy drama that plays a bit like Hoosiers meets Happy Gilmore. It's from the crowd that brought us Ted Lasso, so nuff said. Ginny & Georgia From Thursday, June 5th, Netflix Mother-daughter relationships can be a bit of a trial, but in the third series of this comedy drama the Miller family faces an actual trial – for murder. Series two ended with Georgia (Brianne Howey), the mom, being arrested on her own wedding day; her daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry), faces the dilemma of whether to believe in her mother's innocence or accept the overwhelming evidence against her. What she does know is that she doesn't want her mom to go to prison. Georgia is put under house arrest and made to wear an electronic ankle monitor, while Ginny has to run the gauntlet in the school corridor every day, with the eyes of her classmates burning through her head. Will the Miller family rise to their greatest challenge yet while still delivering some laugh-out-loud moments? You better believe it, peaches. Fubar From Thursday, June 12th, Netflix When it was announced that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be returning for a second series of this comedy spy show, the 'I'll be back' quips came thick and fast. In his first foray into TV territory, Arnie plays the CIA agent Luke Brunner, who has had to defer his retirement for one last espionage job. Now it looks as if the gold-watch ceremony will have to wait a bit longer, as in series two he faces a deadly foe in the form of an old flame, the German spy Greta Nelso, played with suitably over-the-top gusto by Carrie-Anne Moss. In series one Luke was pulled back out of retirement to rescue a fellow CIA operative – who turned out to be his daughter, Emma (Monica Barbaro). The cast members have all talked about how much fun they had making this series – let's hope it's just as much fun for us to watch. We Were Liars From Wednesday, June 18th, Prime Video Take a private island paradise off the coast of New England, add a sprinkle of rich, beautiful, privileged teenagers, top it off with a dash of smouldering passion and jealousy, and you've got the perfect recipe for a murder mystery. Cadence Sinclair Eastman is a scion of the wealthy, influential Sinclair family, and she and her siblings, cousins and close friends – known as the Liars – are spending another idyllic summer on the island, but then something bad happens, and the dynamic within the group changes irrevocably, while the island's unspoken omerta rule suddenly kicks in. Sounds like another variation on the 'I know what you did last summer' trope. It's based on the bestselling YA novel by E Lockhart, aka Emily Jenkins. READ MORE The Buccaneers From Wednesday, June 18th, Apple TV+ Those scandalous American girls are back in polite English society in the second series of the period drama, which is sort of like Bridgerton with a bit of a twang. In the 1870s a group of wealthy and brash young heiresses are sent over from the United States to gatecrash the London social scene and bag themselves husbands, but their extroverted ways quickly clash with the buttoned-up traditions of Victorian society. It's not long before they're setting gentlemen's pulses racing, and sending scandalised dowagers reaching for the smelling salts. In this second series the Buccaneers have become firmly integrated in London life, and Nan has become the Duchess of Tintagel, while Conchita is better known as Lady Brightlingsea. But they're still out to shake up the status quo, all to a fab, completely anachronistic soundtrack featuring Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga and The Last Dinner Party. The Waterfront From Thursday, June 19th, Netflix The Buckley family are the kingpins of their own fishing empire in a small village on the coast of North Carolina. Their name is on practically every business, shop and restaurant, so they have a bit of a hegemony here. But, beneath it all, business is going downhill, and the family patriarch, Harlan Buckley (Colt McCallany), must raise a couple of million to turn things around. He gets into bed with some shady drug smugglers, but as things spiral out of control and the body count piles up, it's looking more and more like the Buckleys will be sleeping with the fishes. Countdown From Wednesday, June 25th, Prime Video A dead Homeland Security agent, a secret taskforce and a terror plot that could end in millions of deaths: maybe I won't have another consonant after all, Rachel, thank you very much. Jensen Ackles from The Boys heads the cast of this action-thriller series created by Derek Haas, the mind behind the FBI series and all its variants. Ackles is the LAPD cop Mark Meachum, who is recruited into the taskforce after the Homeland Security guy is murdered in broad daylight. The murder is just the tip of the iceberg, and soon Ackles and the team are racing to stop the bad guys from turning the citizens of LA into DOA. The Bear From Thursday, June 26th, Disney+ Chef-patron Carmy Berzatto is back in kitchen hell in the fourth series of the foodie dramedy, and he's still in pursuit of excellence in the former sandwich shop in Chicago that he inherited after the suicide of his brother, Michael. Carmy, a Michelin-star chef, has turned the dive into a fine-dining restaurant, but success is far from a done deal. Money is running out, and the kitchen is still in chaos and turmoil. Can Carmy create a calmer atmosphere in this culinary crucible? Jeremy Allen White stars as Carmy, with Ayo Edebiri, Oliver Platt and Jamie Lee Curtis among the cast. Squid Game From Friday, June 27th, Netflix How much of a gaming junkie do you have to be to go back into a game that could end in your death? In series two of the hit Korean series – Netflix's most successful non-English-language series – Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) went back into the game with a clear mission to take down the faceless organisation behind this murderous, macabre theme park, but in this third and final series he finds himself back in the Squid Game dorm after the failure of his attempted rebellion – and this time the games have been taken to even deadlier levels. Gi-hun must survive this last round and also outwit his treacherous adversary the Frontman as the tournament reaches its bloody, adrenaline-pumping climax. Smoke From Friday, June 27th, Apple TV+ The Rocket Man star Taron Egerton heads a strong cast in this new crime series about an arson investigator in pursuit of two serial pyromaniacs. Joining Egerton in the series – based on a true story – are Rafe Spall, Jurnee Smollett, Anna Chlumsky, Greg Kinnear and John Leguizamo. Egerton plays the investigator, with Smollett as the detective who becomes his reluctant partner; they'll have to find common ground if they are going to stop the firestarting spree before it gets completely out of control.

16 new shows and movies to watch in June 2025 — 'The Bear,' 'Squid Game,' 'Gilded Age' and more
Summer streaming is sizzling with hot new shows and movies to watch in June 2025 on Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video and other major streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable TV. We're highlighting the biggest, buzziest new shows and movies premiering this month. They include some highly anticipated returning favorites, including "The Bear" season 4, "Squid Game" season 3, "The Gilded Age" season 3, "Ginny and Georgia" season 3, "The Buccaneers" season 2 and "Resident Alien" season 4. Several high-profile new TV shows debut, including the golf comedy "Stick" with Owen Wilson and Marvel's "Ironheart." New movies that will hit streaming include "Predator: Killer of Killers" and the action-comedy "Deep Cover" with Sean Bean and Orlando Bloom. Here's our guide on what to watch in June 2025. 'Stick' stars Owen Wilson as a washed-up professional golfer named Pryce Cahill. Pryce was destined to be one of the best golfers ever, but a meltdown during an event derailed his career. Now, he's struggling to make ends meet, but he may have an opportunity to live vicariously through Santi (Peter Dager), a teenage amateur who could one day be the pro Pryce never was. Come for the golf, stay for Timothy Olyphant in a guest starring role. — Malcolm McMillan Premieres June 4 on Apple TV Plus Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Getting hauled off in handcuffs for murder during your wedding ceremony? Georgia (Brianne Howey) wishes she could have said 'I don't' to that. Season 3 opens with the fallout of Georgia's past coming back to bite her and her family. As Georgia's day in court draws near, teen daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) is forced to grow up quickly. Not only is her mom facing prison, she has to deal with the regular messiness of adolescence. Hold on tight, Peaches — this season's a wild ride. — Kelly Woo Premieres June 5 on Netflix Looking for some intense action in June? Hulu is where you need to be, as 'Predator: Killer of Killers' — the first of two 'Predator' movies coming our way in 2025 — is due hitting the streaming service very soon Co-directed by Dan Trachtenberg ('Prey') and animation company The Third Floor's Josh Wassung, 'Killer of Killers' is an animated anthology movie that pits three formidable warriors from across human history against one of the most fearsome, extraterrestrial threats ever to grace our screens. It's an elevator pitch that reads like pure wish fulfillment, and it looks to be brought to life in beautiful, bloody fashion. — Martin Shore Premieres June 6 on Hulu 'Resident Alien' stars the incomparable Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle. Harry might seem like an unassuming small-town doctor, but he's secretly an alien who crashed into Patience, Colorado, killing the real Dr. Vanderspeigle in the process. If that sounds complicated, don't worry — things have gotten far worse. Harry is now fully engaged in an interstellar alien conflict and must escape an extraterrestrial prison to stop a dangerous threat in Patience. You can watch season 4 as it happens on Syfy and USA on linear cable, though it should eventually hit Netflix like the past three seasons. — MM No, this isn't the 90s Laurence Fishburne/Jeff Goldblum crime thriller — this 'Deep Cover' is Tom Kingsley's fast-paced new crime-comedy caper that sees three actors trying to infiltrate London's gangland underworld and convince some of its major players that they're all seasoned criminals. Having been offered the role by an undercover cop (Sean Bean), improv teacher and aspiring comedian Kat (Bryce Dallas Howard) recruits two of her acting students, Marlon (Orlando Bloom) and Hugh (Nick Mohammed) to join her on this dangerous mission that'll put their 'yes, and…' skills to the test. And, if the trailer's anything to go by, it looks like the challenge is going to be much greater than any of them first thought. — MS Premieres June 12 on Prime Video Arnold Schwarzenegger's once-retired CIA agent Luke Brunner is 'back' in action very soon, as Nick Santora's action-comedy series 'FUBAR' is returning to Netflix just in time for Father's Day. Having already been through the ringer together in the first season, Luke, his daughter (and fellow operative) Emma (Monica Barbaro), and their close allies are due to contend with dangerous new foes. 'The Matrix's' Carrie-Anne Moss has joined the show as Greta Nelso, a formidable East German spy (and a former flame of Luke's) with plans to destroy the world. Can the father-daughter duo save the day all over again? — MS Premieres June 12 on Netflix There's just something about a slow-burning psychological thriller centered on a messy mother-daughter dynamic that always pulls me in, and if the trailer for 'Echo Valley' is anything to go by, this one's going to hit all the right notes. Julianne Moore stars as Kate, a former competitive rider now living a quiet life training horses in rural Pennsylvania, still silently grieving. Her world gets turned upside down when her daughter Claire (Sydney Sweeney) shows up out of nowhere one night, visibly shaken and covered in blood. She's done something awful… and that's when everything starts to unravel. Written by Brad Ingelsby, the creator of 'Mare of Easttown,' this looks like it'll be full of emotional gut punches and morally murky characters. Plus, Domhnall Gleeson is in the mix as a mysterious figure from Claire's past. — Alix Blackburn Premieres June 13 on Apple TV Plus The Buccaneers are back, and this time, the gloves are off (but still trimmed with lace). In season 2, the stakes are higher and the corsets tighter. Nan St. George (Kristine Froseth) is a new duchess and already questioning everything. Meanwhile, sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) is on the run with a baby bump and the very handsome Guy (Matthew Broome). At least Conchita (Alisha Boe) isn't a total mess and she's basically running the London ton. But the arrival of an enigmatic character played by Leighton Meester could overturn all of their lives. - KW Premieres June 18 on Apple TV Plus You can never really go wrong with a good mystery thriller, and it seems like Prime Video could have a hit on its hands with 'We Were Liars.' Based on the hit YA novel by E. Lockhart, the story centers on Cadence Sinclair Eastman (Emily Alyn Lind) and her tight-knit group of friends known as the Liars. The Sinclair family is East Coast elite — wealthy, attractive, and seemingly perfect. But after a tragic and puzzling accident, Cadence begins to realize that the people closest to her might be hiding more than she ever imagined. Thankfully, all eight episodes drop at the same time, ready for a full-on binge session. — AB Premieres June 18 on Prime Video Based on the trailer, "The Waterfront" looks like a healthy mix of comedy, melodrama and crime. It also looks like it could be Netflix's next surprise hit. This drama series, which feels like it could be ripped straight from The CW, stars Jake Weary as Cane Buckley, scion of the Buckley fishing family of North Carolina. Cane's parents, Harlan (Holt McCallany) and Mae (Maria Bello) run the family and seemingly the town, but not all is great behind the scenes. Turns out, the Buckleys are in danger of losing everything. That causes Harlan to turn to drug running, and puts the Buckleys in bed with an up-and-coming drug lord Grady, played by Topher Grace. — MM Premieres June 19 on Netflix With the Opera War behind them, the Russells are ready to run New York, but old money isn't going quietly. Bertha (Carrie Coon) is fixated on marrying off Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) to a duke, while George (Morgan Spector) takes a big bet on the future of railroads — which could make him lose everything. Across Fifth Avenue at the Brook house, Aunt Agnes (Christine Baranski) is fuming as Ada (Cynthia Nixon) steps into her power. And love is in the air, as romance blossoms between Marian (Louisa Jacobson) and Larry Russell (Harry Richardson) and Peggy (Denée Benton) meets a handsome doctor. But they live in a world where marriage is strategy and happiness is optional. Premieres June 22 on HBO and Max In the MCU's newest show, genius meets hustle with a bit of magic thrown in, After her cameo in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' brilliant MIT student Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) heads back to Chicago to build a killer new Iron Man suit on her own terms. But things get dangerous when she crosses paths with The Hood (Anthony Ramos), a charming troublemaker with some serious dark arts skills. With Ryan Coogler producing and Chinaka Hodge writing, this Marvel show mixes street smarts and high-tech armor — even Tony Stark would be impressed. - KW Premieres June 24 on Disney Plus Prime Video's new thriller just got an explosive new trailer mere days ago. And if that trailer is any indication, it should be an exhilarating thrill ride. This crime drama, which easily feels like it could be on network TV if it weren't on Prime Video, stars Jensen Ackles as LAPD detective Mark Meachum. He's brought onto a covert task force following the shocking death of a Homeland Security officer, and their goal is simple: stop a 'Chernobyl-level event' from happening on American soil. — MM Premieres June 25 on Prime Video Get ready to say 'Yes, Chef!' one last time. Or … perhaps not? 'The Bear' returns to Hulu on June 25 for a 10-episode season 4, which was long rumored to be the show's final season. But after watching the first trailer, there's no indication that the show will be wrapping up at the end of this season. That doesn't mean there won't be drama, though. Despite some positive signs at the end of season 3, things at the restaurant aren't going great and financially, they're even worse. Now, financier and family friend Cicero is ready to pull the plug unless Carmy manages to make some drastic changes. This will be a show of the year contender, so don't miss it. — MM Premieres June 25 on Hulu Taron Egerton is leading what looks to be another Apple TV Plus crime drama this month, and it looks like an incredibly tense watch. Created and written by 'Black Bird's' Dennis Lehane and based on the podcast series, 'Firebug,' 'Smoke' sees investigators trying to tackle a 'fire plague.' We follow arson investigator Dave Gudsen (Egerton) as he begrudgingly teams with a troubled police detective, Michelle Calderone, (Jurnee Smollett) to chase down two serial arsonists before they can claim any more lives… embroiling them both in a twisting game of dark secrets and suspicion. — MS Premieres June 27 on Apple TV Plus 'Squid Game' season 3 is hands-down one of the Netflix drops I'm looking forward to most this year. Ever since that wild season 2 finale, I've been counting down, and now it's finally almost here. Lee Jung-jae is back as Gi-hun, but this time, he's not playing to survive — he's playing to end it all. The last chapter follows his downward spiral after losing his best friend, and his growing obsession with destroying the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who's been pulling the strings behind the scenes. The newest trailer wastes no time setting the vibe: a crying baby, a knife-shaped hallway, Gi-hun locked inside a gift-wrapped box, and a gumball machine popping out red and blue spheres for the next twisted challenge. — AB Premieres June 27 on Netflix

Screen Queen TV Reviews: Stick, Brassic, Alone Australia finale, The Tylenol Murders and The Survivors
Not to sound like an insufferable Pollyanna, but I have a list of things that make me smile. And when life's grinding me down and I'm having a particularly crappy day, I'll read it, and try to do at least one thing off it that instantly makes me feel better. I know — I annoy myself, too. There are all sorts of random things on said list: drinking my first coffee of the day, getting into clean sheets at night, sniffing my dog's paws (they smell like CCs!), feeling a breeze on my face through an open window, watching funny Instagram memes with my kid — all are instant dopamine hits. Over the years, various TV series have snuck their way on. And if I need a lift, I'll regularly rewatch old episodes of Escape To The Chateau, Schitt's Creek or Ted Lasso. If I REALLY want to feel all the happy feels, I'll pop on Bluey's Sleepytime episode and cry great, big cathartic tears into my cat's fur — highly recommend. I can't help wondering if Owen Wilson's new feel-good golf comedy, Stick, might be about to join my happy list, and, indeed, become a whole generation of sports-comedy-loving viewers' serotonin hit of choice. It tells the story of an over-the-hill golf pro called Pryce Cahill (Wilson), who discovers a 17-year-old golf prodigy named Santi (Peter Dager) and decides to mentor him on the competition circuit. It's got all the ingredients for an instant TV hit, and there are some incredible performances from the cast, which includes Marc Maron, Judy Greer, Mariana Trevino and Lilli Kay. And sure, it's about golf — not exactly my sport of choice — but, like soccer was to Ted Lasso, that's really just the kick-off point to tell some heartfelt stories about hope, resilience and the importance of picking yourself up. Add it to your lists, people! Looking for your next favourite under-the-radar Netflix show? This is it! Regular SBS watchers might have already caught this great British series, about a group of mates living in the 'grim North' of England. But Netflix is giving this fabulous black comedy a new life, streaming seasons one to five. It's already crept into their top 10 list this week, which brings me joy — I love that new fans are discovering how great This Is England's Joe Gilgun (the show's co-creator) and Bergerac's Damien Molony are as the two mismatched besties at the heart of the series. The full cast will be coming together for a special reunion episode at the conclusion of the final two instalments of the season, to be hosted by Kumi Taguchi. Can't wait for the debrief. If you took a drink every time someone said the word 'Tylenol' in this doco, you'd be absolutely hammered five minutes in. Talk about branding! Though probably not the kind the massive drug company was after. This doco has some genuinely surprising moments, but they weren't enough to sustain my interest past ep one. This Aussie drama, based on Jane Harper's bestselling novel, stars The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power's Charlie Vickers and Yerin Ha, who'll soon be seen playing the romantic lead in the next instalment of Bridgerton. Talk about a stacked cast! Mark your diaries.
