When the twosome strike up a secret affair, it puts both their personal lives and corporate careers in jeopardy. The romantic leads are surrounded by a starry ensemble including Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, Tony Hale, Bradley Whitford, Jodie Whittaker and Lopez’s old “Selena” pal, Edward James Olmos. — Christina Izzo

The Vampire Lestat | Official Trailer | Debuts June 7 on AMC & AMC+ – YouTube
Watch On
Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) is taking center stage in this revamped third season of AMC’s gothic drama. While we spent the first two seasons with Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), this new chapter, officially titled “The Vampire Lestat,” sees the titular vampire shooting to stardom and revisits the events so far from his perspective. See, he’s not exactly happy with the way Louis and Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) portray him in the memoir, and so he decides to set his story out by starting a band and heading off on tour, and, judging by that trailer, it looks like Lestat’s new era will be plenty chaotic… — Martin Shore

Watch On
Written and created by “Sex Education” alum Sophie Goodhart, Hulul’s new British comedy “Alice and Steve” stars Nicola Walker and Jermaine Clement as the title pair, middle-aged besties whose decades-long friendship devolves into a messy, emotional feud when Steve begins dating Alice’s much younger 26-year-old daughter, Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). Across six episodes, the “wrong-com” charts the very uncomfy reverberations of Steve and Izzy’s relationship felt by those around them. — CI

Hot on the heels (er, skates?) of “Heated Rivalry” and “Off Campus,” yet another page-to-screen romance is making its streaming debut courtesy of Prime Video’s “Every Year After,” based on the popular Carley Fortuna book “Every Summer After.”
Developed and showran by Leila Gerstein (“Hart of Dixie”), the eight-ep drama stars Sadie Soverall as our heroine Persephone “Percy” Fraser, who returns to the Canadian lake town of her childhood after years away and find herself pulled back in the orbit of her first love, Sam Florek (Matt Cornett). The adaptation breezes between two timelines: the couple’s nostalgic past and their fraught present. — CI

Based on Jordan Tannahill’s novel of the same name, “The Listeners” is a five-episode psychological drama starring Rebecca Hall (“Resurrection”, “Christine”) as Claire, an English teacher whose life starts unraveling when she begins hearing a persistent low hum nobody else can pick up. Cue the migraines, nosebleeds, and sleepless nights. Things get even weirder when she discovers one of her students (Ollie West) hears it too, and the two form a bond that changes into something far more unsettling. If you’ve ever heard a sound that others couldn’t, you’ll be in good company here. — Brittany Vincent

‘Never Change!’ (June 17, Hulu)
(Image credit: Hulu)
The class of 2005 from North Meadows High is bummed. Their senior year got cut short when a tornado leveled half their school. Now, somehow, in their mid-30s, they’re being dragged back home to actually finish 12th grade, and the awkward reunions that come with it. There’s also plenty of unfinished business and long-buried gossip waiting to unfold after the former classmates haven’t seen each other in literal years. Old crushes, new humiliations (for some), and one very overdue diploma await. And it might sound like a downer, but it promises to bring plenty of laughs, with SNL’s “The Chair Company” Gary Richardson on board. — BV

‘Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You’ (June 18, Netflix)
I Will Find You | Official Teaser | Netflix – YouTube

Thriller master Harlan Coben’s latest Netflix series turns parental grief into a prison-break mystery with a tinge of conspiracy. Sam Worthington stars as David Burroughs, a man serving life for allegedly killing his son — until new evidence found by a disgraced reporter (Britt Lower) suggests his son might still be alive. What follows is an escape and a cross-country scramble for truth. Milo Ventimiglia, Chi McBride, Madeleine Stowe and more orbit the case as long-buried secrets are unearthed. — KW

‘Sugar’ season 2 (June 19, Apple TV)
Sugar — Season 2 Official Trailer | Apple TV – YouTube
Watch On
After its first season revealed itself to be much stranger than a straightforward neo-noir ever promised, “Sugar” is back with Colin Farrell once again playing the L.A. private eye. He’s on the trail of a new case involving the missing older brother of an up-and-coming boxer, even as his personal quest to find his own sister continues to haunt him. The dual investigations unfold amid a growing conspiracy that seems to stretch far beyond the city. — KW

‘Color Book’ (June 19, Netflix)
2025 SBIFF Trailer – COLOR BOOK – YouTube
Watch On
When I saw this back in 2025, I was blown away by the chemistry between Lucky (William Catlett), a father struggling with the loss of his wife, and Mason (Jeremiah Daniels), his son with Down Syndrome. While the plot is centered around going to Mason’s first baseball game, this movie is all about the emotional depths of dealing with loss, the trials of fatherhood and the struggle to act like everything is normal because you have no other choice. It’s a must-watch, with a twist partway through that will lock you in. — Malcolm McMillan

‘Voicemails for Isabelle’ (June 19, Netflix)
Voicemails for Isabelle | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube
Watch On
This is a rom-com for the digital age, with oversharing serving as a meet-cute. Jill (Zoey Deutch), an aspiring pastry chef in San Francisco, keeps leaving voicemails for her late sister. Then, Isabelle’s old number ends up with Wes (Nick Robinson), an Austin real estate agent who can’t help but listen to them. What starts as accidental eavesdropping turns into unexpected intimacy. And of course, romance. — KW

‘The Agency’ season 2 (June 21, Paramount+)
The Agency | Season 2 Trailer | Paramount+ – YouTube
Watch On
“The Agency” is adapted from the acclaimed French spy thriller series “Le Bureau des Légendes” (or “The Bureau”), which itself is based on the real Bureau of Legends in the French Directorate-General for External Security. That’s the equivalent of the CIA, and in this adaptation, it’s the Agency rather than the Bureau that our characters work for.
The show is set at the CIA London office and stars Michael Fassbender as a deep-cover agent named Brandon; he’s mostly referred to by his codename: “Martian.” But his cover and his work life have become intertwined, and in season 2, he looks set to betray the CIA to save his own skin, or to save the woman he loves (Jodie Turner-Smith) — MM

‘House of the Dragon’ season 3 (June 21, HBO)
House of the Dragon Season 3 | Official Final Trailer | HBO Max – YouTube
Watch On
We’re heading back to Westeros again this month for our second helping of “Thrones” storytelling, but while “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” was a smaller (but thoroughly entertaining) affair, “House of the Dragon” season 3 seems primed to deliver more epic fantasy thrills. Season 2 ended with armies throughout the realm mobilizing for war, and now that conflict’s truly taking flight. The series is due to open with the Battle of the Gullet, and showrunner Ryan Condal (via Variety) called the premiere episode “arguably the craziest episode of television ever made.” Expect the Dance of the Dragons to truly heat up this summer! — MS
Premieres June 21 on HBO and HBO Max
‘In the Hand of Dante’ (June 24, Netflix)
In the Hand of Dante | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube
Watch On
Julian Schnabel’s first film in eight years is this wildly indulgent, sprawling, 150-minute epic that stars Oscar Isaac as both Dante Alighieri and journalist Nick Tosches. The latter is caught up in a mafia-fueled hunt for a supposedly handwritten version of “Divine Comedy” hidden in the Vatican. It swings through different time periods and genres, from literary drama to gangster thriller. It may have gotten bad reviews at the Venice Film Festival, but there’s something to be said for witnessing an ambitious pursuit of spectacle. — KW
Premieres June 24 on Netflix
‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ season 2 (June 25, Netflix)
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 2 | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube
Watch On
Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the beloved “Avatar” series is back this summer, and after Aang (Gordon Cormier), Katara (Kiawentiio) and Sokka (Ian Ousley) saved the Northern Water Tribe, they’re off to seek the aid of the Earth King in the fight against the fearsome Fire Lord Ozai and the forces of the Fire Nation. Cue a journey to Ba Sing Se, the introduction of Toph (Miyako), more training for Aang, and plenty more action when the show returns. — MS

‘The Bear’ season 5 (June 25, Hulu)
(Image credit: FX on Hulu)
Pack your knives and go! OK, wrong cooking show, but after four years and five seasons, it is the beginning of the end for FX’s acclaimed kitchen drama “The Bear” and its troubled head chef Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White). Dropping a little over a month after that surprise prequel episode “Gary” this May, the eight-ep final season will pick up immediately after Carmy quits the food industry, leaving Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Natalie (Abby Elliott) in charge of the restaurant with financial troubles and a torrential storm getting in the way of their Michelin-starred dreams. — CI

‘Little Brother’ (June 26, Netflix)
Little Brother | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube
Watch On
What stranger pair could you come up with than John Cena and Eric André? The duo team up for the upcoming comedy “Little Brother”, which finds a famous realtor (Cena) positively spiraling when his odd “little brother” (André) re-enters his life. One lives a strait-laced, tidy life and the other has no interest in walking the straight and narrow. When they’re together, hilarity ensues — though it seems Cena’s character may very well end up murdering André’s if he turns up his potentially annoying charm to critical levels. We can likely expect a romp similar to that of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s “Daddy’s Home” but with more of Cena’s genius straight man routine. — BV

‘Strung’ (June 26, Peacock)

Layla (Chloe Bailey) is a struggling Los Angeles violinist who lands a gig tutoring the gifted teenage daughter of a mysteriously wealthy family. It all seems like a dream at first, until Layla starts clocking that something at the estate is very, very off. Despite her instincts, she finds herself pulled deeper into her clients world, and deep, dark secrets start surfacing fast. That’s how Layla’s grip on her safety, her career and her own mind get shakier by the minute until she finds her soul might just become as dark as the family’s. — BV
