Everything That’s Streaming in June 2023

As summer schedules kick off in earnest in June, streaming platforms are packing new shows and movies onto their rosters to anticipate broadened viewing hours: long-awaited returns of popular series like Black Mirror, The Bear and The Righteous Gemstones, and buzzy new shows like The Walking Dead: Dead City, I’m a Virgo and The Idol. A slate of documentaries (Loudmouth, Arnold and Stan Lee) offer fresh looks at cultural icons, and Tom Holland, Idris Elba and Anna Kendrick play gripping dramatic roles in The Crowded Room, Hijack and Alice Darling. A slate of new reality shows brings new perspective to the ordinary: Robert Downey Jr. plays with eco-friendly muscle cars in Downey’s Dream Cars, and Unchained shows the muddy reality behind the Tour de France, road rash and all. Read on to discover the biggest new titles from major streamers this month:

Netflix

Arnold (June 7) – On the heels of his new action series FUBAR, hulking multi-hyphenate Arnold Schwarzenegger narrates a new three-part series about his kaleidoscopic life as an athlete, actor, producer/director, politician and entrepreneur. The former governor of California gives context and insight into his spartan childhood in Austria, his journey from the bodybuilding stage to the Hollywood stage, and the unsinkable mindset that led him to diversify his interests after becoming a film star. And as the successes and failures rolled in, Schwarzenegger dug deep to keep himself motivated. “My vision was climbing that mountain,” he says. “If you’re always hungry, you’re never really satisfied.” The three-part series is directed by Lesley Chilcott (An Inconvenient Truth) and executive produced by Allen Hughes (The Defiant Ones).

Black Mirror Season 6 (June 15) – The enigmatic show that became a cult hit for its unpredictable format is promising a season unlike any before it, with creator Charlie Brooker teasing a major pivot. “We’ve got a few new elements, including some I’ve previously sworn blind the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what ‘a Black Mirror episode’ even is. The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through-and-through — but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before.” The meta-mystery surrounding its release is keeping fans in suspense, but the trailer offers a disorienting tunnel-of-terror ride through several unsettling vignettes. This season’s stars down the rabbit hole include Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, Ben Barnes, Daniel Portman, Himesh Patel, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault and Zazie Beetz.

Human Resources Season 2 (June 9) – Human Resources, an animated workplace comedy spinning off the popular Big Mouth (just renewed for its own sixth season), is back for another raunchy season following the mischievous monsters that help their pre-teen human clients navigate the baffling emotions of puberty. Maury and Connie the Hormone Monsters (Nick Kroll and Maya Rudolph), Pete the Logic Rock (Randall Park), Shame Wizard (Daniel Thewlis), and Emmy and Rochelle the Love Bugs (Aidy Bryant and Keke Palmer) are back to serve up the fart jokes, musical numbers, and plenty of awkward chaos as they navigate their charges through the transitional horrors of early adulthood and beyond. Season 2 will feature Miley Cyrus, Eugene Levy, and Isabella Rossellini along with guest appearances from Niecy Nash-Betts and Sam Richardson. Fan-favorite guest stars from season one will also make a comeback including Hugh Jackman, Thandiwe Newton, Jemaine Clement, Rosie Perez, Maria Bamford, Bobby Cannavale and Henry Winkler.

Tour de France: Unchained Season 1 (June 7) – A blistering new documentary brings audiences along on a 12-speed thrill ride from the dirty guts of the Tour de France, the most challenging bicycle race in the world. A group of determined athletes chase the yellow jersey over 23 days and 2,000 grueling miles, with GoPros, dashcams and stunning race footage offering a gritty view of the physical and emotional rollercoaster of high-performance sport. From the blood and glory of the track to the second-hand tension of trainers and teams watching the drama unfold, Unchained offers an adrenal rush of muddy wrecks, come-from-behind victories, and elite sportsmen pushed to their very limit for the ultimate two-wheeled crown.

Flamin’ Hot (June 9) – The spicy story of one of America’s favorite snacks gets a controversial retelling in Eva Longoria’s directorial debut.  Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia, Narcos: Mexico) is a Frito-Lays janitor who “disrupted the food industry by channeling his Mexican-American heritage to turn Flamin’ Hot Cheetos from a snack into an iconic global pop culture phenomenon.” Montañez reportedly dreamed up the spicy Cheeto while mopping floors at a Rancho Cucamonga Frito-Lays plant and overcame corporate obstacles to pitch his idea, eventually rising to a marketing executive role. But multiple sources including employees and the food giant’s own internal investigation deny Montañez’s involvement with the snack’s development, advising that a group of food experts dreamed up the ruby-dusted cronchers at Frito-Lay in 1989. But if facts don’t support the urban legend, it still makes for a tangy mops-to-Maseratis story.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 16 two-episode Premiere (June 8) – The gang’s narcissistic shenanigans have made the show the longest-running live action comedy in American television history, and they’re going to their new home on Hulu through at least season 18. Philadelphia’s nuttiest bar crew stays relevant because their personality disorders evolve along with the country’s broader cultural shifts, and this season they’re facing crises that seem copy/pasted from 2023’s messed up headlines: gun control, inflation, international relations, gender issues. Mac battles with allergies and long-distance dating, Charlie takes on his long-forgotten sisters, Dee fights for women’s athletics, Frank faces off with Russia, and Dennis struggles to improve his mental health. Will fifteen years of degeneracy and scheming catch up with them as they contend with the fresh turmoil of the present?

Stars on Mars Season 1 (June 6) – William Shatner is helming a cosmically kooky unscripted series that sees adventurous celebrities trade in their possessions, status and glamorous lifestyles on Earth for a summer on “Mars.” The crew will live, eat, sleep, and strategize in the same space station with the goal to colonize, compete and conquer the red planet until there is just one “celebronaut” left standing. Ronda Rousey, Lance Armstrong, Ariel Winter, Marshawn Lynch and Tallulah Willis are among the brave space travelers while Shatner serves as Mission Control, delivering interstellar tasks throughout the journey.

Internal corruption threatening the country! A drug cartel teaming up with a terrorist organization! Black ops and CIA conspiracies that make Jack doubt the system he fights to protect! The plot thickens with reports that Michael Peña, who joins the cast this season as CIA agent Domingo “Ding” Chavez, may star in a spinoff that may be in the early planning stages–but the future of the Tom Clancy franchise is as cloak-and-dagger as its overripe storyline.

Downey’s Dream Cars (June 22) – Self-proclaimed “gearhead” Robert Downey Jr. teams up with experts and top-tier automotive technology to make classic car restoration more environmentally sustainable in a binge-watchable series that builds off the actor’s infectious adoration of vintage cars. “The cars of the 60’s and 70’s just make your heart beat a little faster,” he says. “I engaged the best and brightest minds to evaluate, educate, elevate, and decarbonize these vehicles in a way that demonstrates the limitless potential of creative problem-solving.” With his signature deadpan wit and boyish excitement, Downey and co. will restore six classic cars from Robert’s collection to make them more eco-friendly, while preserving their power and style.
