Now Streaming: Every Show to Add to Your Streaming Queue In June

In the modern world of entertainment, content can feel a little bit non-stop. There's always new things to watch, but a lot of it is better than ever. Each month, we're cutting through the streaming noise and helping you figure out what's worth bingeing on release day and what you can save for some downtime later in the year. Here are the new seasons and series we'll be watching in June.

Prefer something with a longer runtime? Check out our guide to the movies releasing in theatres and on streaming this month instead.

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed — Thriller, Dark Comedy

Motherhood is a mystery. It's hard enough already for Paula (Tatiana Maslany). Divorce, custody battles, work, youth soccer, exercise, a kidnapping conspiracy that threatens to destroy her life, you know, the usual. Okay, the latter isn't typically what you'd call "usual", but she certainly watched something that looked a lot like a kidnapping. Is it a scam? Or can these people make good on the threats against her and her family? One way or another, she's going to find out.

The Boroughs — Mystery, Sci-Fi

For grieving newcomer Sam (Alfred Molina), the idyllic retirement community of The Boroughs seems like it's not much more than a polished piece of desert where people come to die. But soon he finds community with a group of intrepid fellow retirees (Geena David, Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman, Clarke Peters and Denis O'Hare), who discover this community hides an otherworldly secret that could steal the one thing they want more of: time. This new supernatural series comes from the Duffer Brothers, creators of Stranger Things, so expect enough mystery to fill the Hawkins-shaped hole in your heart.

Rick and Morty: Season nine — Animation, Comedy

What's one more quick adventure? Adult Swim's smash hit comedy has been gracing our screens with madcap science fiction and multiversal hijinks for the better part of 13 years now, and it's still going strong. For its ninth season, it promises to be AI-slop-free and 100 percent A-grade human-made slop. Expect portals, explosions, killer furniture, kung fu, breakfast drugs and… well, this is Rick and Morty, so god knows what. Expect the unexpected.

Spider-Noir — Superhero, Crime

If you've seen Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, you have some idea of what a detective noir version of Spider-Man can look like. While this is from the same creators and also stars Nicolas Cage, it's not the exact same spider seen in the 2018 film. Confusing right? Don't worry about it, just enjoy watching PI Ben Reilly (Nicolas Cage) solving crimes, swinging from rooftops, drinking egg creams and fighting nazis (and some old-timey spins on classic Spider-Man villains). You can choose to watch it either in black and white or colour, depending on how noir you want to go.

Taskmaster: Season 21 — Game Show, Comedy

Greg Davies and Alex Horne, the mad geniuses of the gameshow world, are deep into their latest season of subjecting a lineup of stars to all sorts of quirky and confusing challenges. Season 21 is currently releasing on Binge, and stars Kumail Nanjiani (Fallout), Amy Gledhill (Run Away), screenwriter Armando Ianucci, Joanna Page (Gavin & Stacey) and Joel Dommett (Popatron). The finale nears, and these competitors are putting it all on the line…to varying degrees of enthusiasm.

Not Suitable for Work — Comedy, Feel-Good

Medical school. Celebrity fashion. Wall Street. Cosmetic clinics. None of these workplaces is an easy pathway to success, let alone happiness, but damned if these 20-somethings aren't going to try. Not Suitable for Work, the latest series from executive producer Mindy Kaling, follows this ragtag group of good-hearted go-getters through the ups and downs of their early careers and lives, each chasing their own version of success in the Big Apple without losing out on everything that makes life worth living.

Streaming weekly on Hulu via Disney+ from Tuesday, June 2.

Clarkson's Farm: Season Five — Documentary, Comedy

Jeremy Clarkson (the Top Gear presenter-turned-farming advocate) is continuing his one-man war against inconvenience and naysayers as his farm-life documentary series returns for its fifth season. With every year comes new opportunities and new challenges. This time that includes malfunctioning driverless tractors, cow contaminations, problematic pub crowds and that classic Clarkson enthusiasm for stirring up discourse — no matter how much Amazon begs him not to.

Streaming weekly on Prime Video from Wednesday, June 3.

The Legend of Vox Machina: Season Four — Animation, Fantasy

When the story of Vox Machina began, they were just a ragtag team of unlucky mercenaries with all the unsettled scores you could imagine. Now, the first team of heroes from the famous Dungeons and Dragons crew Critical Role are two-time realm savers who've reunited after a year apart. They've been called back into the hero game by the return of an ancient evil and its army, with the plans of gods unfolding around them and the fate of the realm hanging in the balance...again.

Two Years Later — Romance, Australian

Brisbane, 2022, the pandemic has begun to fade into a strange sense of normalcy, and life is going back to the way it was — including a return to the office for Ryan (Brenton Thwaites) and Emily (Phoebe Tonkin). Two strangers, they made a habit of flirting on the bus, and now that their time apart has ended, they want to put it all on the line. Following his instincts and his grandparents' example, Ryan suggests they go on eight dates to decide once and for all whether it's forever or just for fun.

Cape Fear — Thriller, Remake

The 1991 classic film Cape Fear has been remade for the small screen with an all-star cast and a crack creative team behind it. Executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, Cape Fear follows the Bowdens (Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson), married lawyers who live comfortably with their daughter Natalie (Lily Collias). 17 years ago their client Max Cady (Javier Bardem) was found guilty in a murder trial, supposedly a wrongful charge. Now he's free, he's angry, and he's haunting the family's every step with a wicked smile and a plan for revenge.

Sugar: Season Two — Crime, Noir

Apple TV's sunset city-set neo-noir detective series is officially returning for its second season this June. John Sugar (Colin Farrell) is a private investigator who's especially good at one thing: finding the missing.

This time, he's tracking down the troubled older brother of a professional boxer, a simple case that expands into a conspiracy tangled in the underbelly of Los Angeles.

Heads will roll, and cities will burn, before this is through.
