The Ultimate Guide to What to Watch on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max, and More in June 2025

Much like May, June is light on super high-profile TV premieres, though this month still has plenty to look forward to. Returning favorites to get excited for include the third season of Ginny & Georgia, the fourth season of The Bear, and the final season of Squid Game. And if you’re hoping to get into something brand new as the summer kicks off, you can check out Scream writer Kevin Williamson’s new Netflix drama The Waterfront; the latest Marvel series Ironheart; and the new Taron Egerton-starring crime series Smoke, which is Egerton’s second TV collaboration with Dennis Lehane, the creator of Black Bird. 

Our guide to the best TV and streaming movies in June is divided into three sections: the best shows to watch this month, the best shows to watch by streaming service, and a calendar of TV highlights. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it below. (Note: Amazon has not yet released its June calendar.)

The best shows to watch in June

Ginny & Georgia Season 3 (June 5, Netflix)

Ginny & Georgia, which is all of the following genres — small-town comfort drama, high school dramedy, romance, and murder mystery — is a great example of the Netflix algorithm getting it right. Yet even as it’s being pulled in all those directions, it is first and foremost a mother-daughter drama — the show famously referred to itself as “Gilmore Girls with bigger boobs” — focusing on the fractured relationship between Georgia (Brianne Howey) and her daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry), after they relocate to a quaint Massachusetts town and cause mayhem. Oh, and Georgia may have killed some people, which is why she was hauled off by the po-po in Season 2’s game-changing cliffhanger. Like its protagonists, Ginny & Georgia is A LOT, but watching the series juggle its tones is part of the fun, and that’s why it’s one of Netflix’s most popular shows. –Tim Surette [Trailer] [Everything we know about Ginny & Georgia Season 3 so far]

The Buccaneers Season 2 (June 18, Apple TV+)

You wouldn’t be wrong to say that The Buccaneers only exists because of the global success of fellow period romance Bridgerton, but Apple TV+ takes the “dames in gowns wooed by snappily dressed chaps” recipe and runs with it, emptying its wallet for its most gorgeous looking series and adding some vibrant YA energy to the formula with anachronistic delight. (No classical covers of pop songs here, just the real things!) Based on the unfinished novel by Edith Wharton and set half a century after Bridgerton, The Buccaneers follows a quartet of young American lasses who storm England looking for husbands, bringing their brash Yankee behavior with them while the stuffy Brits lose their monocles in their Earl Grey. The Season 1 finale was a tile-shattering mic drop, with lead buc Nan (Kristine Frøseth) marrying the less-loved leg of her love triangle for the greater good and becoming a duchess. Leighton Meester joins the cast in Season 2. –Tim Surette [Trailer]

The Waterfront (June 19, Netflix)

The Waterfront is here to fill the “TV drama about a family fighting for control of their empire” void. Scream writer Kevin Williamson’s new series follows the Buckley family, who have spent years dominating their North Carolina town’s fishing and restaurant industries. Their territory is threatened as the Buckley patriarch, Harlan (Holt McCallany), recovers from a series of heart attacks, forcing his wife and son to go to dangerous lengths to keep their family afloat. –Allison Picurro [Trailer]

The Gilded Age Season 3 (June 22, HBO)

Good news for people who like to watch HBO shows starring Carrie Coon: The Gilded Age is returning for Season 3. The battle between old and new money in 1800s New York rages on, and it’s as gossipy and scandalous as ever. Bertha (Coon) and George Russell (Morgan Spector) will continue their ascent to the top of high society, Agnes (Christine Baranski) will have trouble accepting her sister Ada’s (Cynthia Nixon) new position as lady of the house, and Peggy (Denée Benton) just might fall in love again. Sounds like The Gilded Age! –Allison Picurro [Teaser]

Ironheart (June 24, Disney+)

Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams, who made her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is suiting up again in the new limited series Ironheart. An MIT student and brilliant inventor who has created a suit of armor that rivals Iron Man’s, Riri returns home to Chicago after the events of the movie and meets Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), aka The Hood, whose cloak lets him tap into dark magic. When Parker offers to fund Riri’s inventions, she’ll have to decide how many lines she’s willing to cross in order to accomplish something iconic. –Kelly Connolly [Trailer]

The Bear Season 4 (June 25, Hulu)

For the fourth year in a row, it’s going to be a “yes, chef” summer: The Bear is officially set to return for its fourth season in June. If you remember anything about how Season 3 ended, you know Christopher Storer’s restaurant dramedy has some explaining to do. The Season 3 finale ended on an ominous “to be continued” as Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) pored over the dreaded review of his troubled restaurant, and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) toyed with the idea of leaving it all behind in favor of a more lucrative offer. I’m sure it will all be solved in rational and extremely emotionally stable ways. –Allison Picurro [Trailer] [Everything we know about The Bear Season 4]

Smoke (June 27, Apple TV+)

If you loved the true crime drama Black Bird, add Smoke to your watchlist right now: Dennis Lehane, creator of the 2022 series, is teaming up with Taron Egerton once more. In Smoke, Egerton stars as arson investigator Dave Gudsen, who reluctantly partners with police detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) in order to catch two serial arsonists. Egerton is also credited as an executive producer, and he and Smollett are joined in the cast by Rafe Spall, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Hannah Emily Anderson, Anna Chlumsky, Adina Porter, Greg Kinnear, and John Leguizamo. –Kat Moon [Trailer]

Squid Game Season 3 (June 27, Netflix)

The light’s turning green one last time. After the uprising Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) led against the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) was entirely quashed, Player 456 is now forced to play more death games. He’s joined by the survivors from last season, including mother-and-son duo Geum-ja (Kang Ae-sim) and Yong-sik (Yang Dong-geun), crypto fraudster Myung-gi (Yim Si-wan) and his pregnant former lover Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri), and Hyun-ju (Park Sung-hoon), the player hoping to fund her gender-affirming surgery. Squid Game Season 3 is the conclusion to Hwang Dong-hyuk’s record-breaking Korean thriller. –Kat Moon [Teaser] [Everything to know about Squid Game Season 3]

Tubi’s new shows and movies in June

Last year, fans of cop shows celebrated when Peacock announced it would stream the complete series of Homicide: Life on the Streets, which is widely considered to be one of the greatest police dramas ever made. Prior to that, fans had to watch the series on DVDs (gasp!), as it was not available on streaming. Now Tubi is joining the party. The Emmy- and Peabody-winning series based on David Simon’s book joins the ad-supported service as one of the new TV shows and movies coming to Tubi in June. Also coming to Tubi in June are Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Seasons 3 and 4 of the sitcom Community, and Best Picture winner Moonlight. And if you want something really challenging, watch Daniel Radcliffe’s Swiss Army Man, in which he plays a farting corpse. Here’s our list of everything coming to Tubi in June.
