Everything That’s Streaming in June 2024

New Seasons of ‘House of the Dragon’ and ‘The Boys,’ and ‘The Bear,’ a new Star Wars saga, and much more!

June has an abundance of streaming options, whether you want Glen Powell as a hit man on Netflix, a new Star Wars series set nearly a century before the prequels, more stressful kitchen episodes on The Bear on Hulu or (finally) more dragons in Westeros in the second season of House of the Dragon. Here’s our incredibly comprehensive roundup.

Netflix

Hit Man (June 7) — Richard Linklater’s latest film hits Netflix in June after a brief two-week theatrical run. Much like Linklater’s 2011 character study Bernie, Hit Man can also trace its roots back to a Texas Monthly story from Skip Hollandsworth. Glen Powell stars as Gary Johnson, a college professor who moonlights as a sting operator for the cops. He poses as a fake hit man to bust people who want to hire a contract killer. When he gets romantically involved with a client who he let get away (Adria Arjona), Gary’s life gets complicated.

If you missed this in the theaters, definitely check it out when it comes to streaming. Powell and Arjona have sizzling chemistry, Linklater is in neo-noir philosophy mode, and the movie is just a really fun rom-com. As our own Omar Gallaga puts it, “it’s that rare unicorn people say we don’t make anymore: a fun, smart movie for adults that is as romantic as it is funny.”

Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2 (June 13) — “Polin” fans were left hanging when Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) finally declared his love for Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) with a romp in the back of a carriage and proposed to her at the end of Season 3, Part 1 when it debuted in May.

Part 2 promises to pick up right where that cliffhanger ended, with four more episodes debuting on Netflix on June 13.

“Viewers know that there’s an extra thing dangling over Penelope and Colin that will provide conflict going into the back half,” Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell said in Tudum.

A Family Affair (June 28) — If you are an older actress in line to star in a movie where you get to have a significantly younger male romantic lead, stay in line! This new rom-com looks like an updated riff on Something’s Gotta Give, except the Diane Keaton character is in love with Buzzfeed’s Hunkiest Brunette instead of an older Jack Nicholson.

 Zara (Joey King) has to deal with the fallout when her boss, famous actor Chris Cole (Zac Efron) gets romantically involved with her mom (Nicole Kidman). Oh, and Kathy Bates is here, too.

Trigger Warning (June 21) — It’s a tale as old as time, or, at least as old as the first Walking Tall movie. Jessica Alba stars as Parker, a Special Forces commando who returns home to take over her father’s bar after he dies. But first, she has to deal with a ruthless gang led by Anthony Michael Hall that’s running rampant in her hometown. Looks like a nice mix of Walking Tall and Reacher, if Jack Reacher was portrayed by Jessica Alba. Say what you will about how much trash Netflix shoves into the world, but they’ve funded more female-driven action movies than most major studios have.

Under Paris (June 5) — There’s a shark. It’s in the Seine. There’s a triathlon in less than 24 hours. That’s all you need to know, really. Sign me up.

Clipped (June 4) — This six-episode miniseries adapted from ESPN’s 30 for 30 podcast “The Sterling Affairs” focuses on the 2014 L.A. Clippers scandal involving billionaire owner Donald Sterling’s racist remarks. Ed O’Neill plays Sterling, Laurence Fishburne plays coach Doc Rivers, Jacki Weaver plays Shelly Sterling, and Cleopatra Coleman stars as V. Stiviano, Sterling’s assistant who leaks his comments to the press.

The Bear Season 3 (June 27) — Yes, chef! Carmy, Syd, Cousin Richie and the rest of the crew are back for another season of high-stress cooking and family bonding/trauma. This season, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has prepared a series of “non-negotiables” for his restaurant as he tries to chase down an elusive Michelin Star rating. Expect tensions to boil over in every sense of the word. All episodes are available on June 27.

BRATS (June 4) — Director, actor and Brat Pack member Andrew McCarthy debuts his documentary looking back at the so-called “Brat Pack” — McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Demi Moore and Anthony Michael Hall — of 1980s John Hughes movies fame. The documentary features interviews with all the members as it examines the ways Hollywood changed around them.

Star Wars: The Acolyte (June 4) — Disney’s latest Star Wars offering takes it back to a long, long, long time ago, way before the prequels. The Acolyte starts at the end of the High Republic era, nearly 100 years before The Phantom Menace. In this material arts-inspired version of Star Wars, Jedi Master Sol hunts down a deadly Jedi assassin from his past. Carrie-Anne Moss, in a fitting nod to her Matrix days, also co-stars.

This show promises to be a different take on the Star Wars stories fans are used to, finally stepping away from the Skywalker Saga to showcase all new characters in a new setting. If it does well, look for The Acolyte to be the future of Star Wars.

Donald Duck turns 90 (June 9) — In honor of Disney’s favorite duck turning 90, the company will release three brand-new shorts on June 9 featuring Donald: “Crazy Over Daisy,” “Out on a Limb,” and “DIY Duck.”

Fancy Dance (June 28) — Lily Gladstone returns to Apple TV+ in a drama about one woman’s search for her missing sister while also caring for her neice. Shea Whigham co-stars as Gladstone’s father.

Apple TV+ doesn’t market its shows as much as other streamers, but it is reliably one of the best services for making sharp, adult dramas. This fits the mold perfectly.

Fancy Dance will open in select theaters June 21 before landing on Apple TV+ on June 28.

Presumed Innocent (June 12) — Apple TV+ is also great at adapting literary thrillers (Defending Jacob, The Last Thing He Told Me). This latest installment in that trend is a minisereies adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1987 legal thriller, adapted by David E. Kelley. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a prosecutor accused of murdering his colleague.

Land of Women (June 26) — Eva Longoria returns to the small screen for her biggest show since Flipped on Quibi (remember Quibi?) with Land of Women, where she stars as Gala, who has to go on the run with her mother and daughter after her husband gets caught up in some bad financial deals.

The Boys Season 4 (June 13) — The Boys are back, and more violent than ever, as Victoria Neuman inches closer to the presidency while under the control of Homelander. Meanwhile, Billy Butcher, who has just months left to live, devises a plan to save the world that involves using a virus to kill superheroes.

“We’ve all done bad shit, but what’s insane is that our solution to every problem is murder. Violence isn’t brave,” Jack Quaid’s Hughie Campbell says in the trailer. Expect a lot of pushback from other characters on that remark.

Federer: Twelve Final Days (June 20) — Tennis champion Roger Federer announced his retirement on September 15, 2022. This new documentary chronicles the final tournament of his career, at the Laver Cup in London that same month. The film also examines Federer’s whole career and what he meant to tennis.

House of the Dragon Season 2 (June 16) — It’s time to return to Westeros, nearly two years after the Season 1 finale. And this time, there will be a lot more dragons – five, in fact, according to the showrunners. Also expect the usual Game of Thrones political and military intrigue, and lots of Matt Smith vamping.

Fantasmas (June 7) — Those wishing for more Los Espookys are in luck. Julio Torres’ new show looks like a combination of that short-lived horror comedy plus the heartfelt whimsy of his recent film Problemista. The thin plot —Torres searches for a golden oyster earring — seems like a good excuse to showcase the layered, absurdist characters Torres is known for.

Am I OK? (June 6)  — Stephanie Allynne and Tig Notaro direct Dakota Johnson in a new comedy about being single in your 30s (possibly a spiritual sequel to How To Be Single). Johnson stars as Lucy, who starts to think she might be gay, and decides to explore that with her friend.

This premiered at Sundance two years ago and is finally being released on streaming.

Ren Faire (June 2) — The Texas Renaissance Festival gets the docuseries treatment in this three-parter from Lance Oppenheim. In a Succession-meets-Rightgeous Gemstones-meets-documentary storyline, Texas Ren Faire founder King George Coulam is looking for an heir to the throne to run his business- the largest ren faire in the world. Will it be the man who owns the kettle corn operations on the fair ground? The general manager of the faire? Or the vendor coordinator for the faire? The results are taken as serious as an episode of Game of Thrones.

As a part of Peacock’s Pride Month celebration, here comes Queer Planet, a documentary about all the ways the animal kingdom strays from the gender binary.

Let the Canary Sing (June 4) — After making the rounds on the festival circuit, Alison Ellwood’s documentary about Cyndi Lauper’s life, music and activism finally lands on streaming. The doc features talking head interviews from people such as Billy Porter, Boy George, Patti LaBelle, and more.

How Music Got Free (June 11) — Another documentary! From executive producers Eminem and LeBron James comes this in-depth look at the invention of the MP3 and the rise of Napster, inspired by Stephen Witt’s 2015 book of the same name. Wild that we’re so far removed from the act of burning a CD that it can get its own documentary, but this looks like a fascinating deep-dive into how artists were affected by the shift in technology in the music business.

When she and her wife find amnesiac Lucy (Krysten Ritter), it unlocks a completely new mystery. No word yet on if the original’s Tatiana Maslany will return, but there’s always the off chance…
