June TV Preview

New Comedy Series
Premieres June 2 on Hulu

The latest comedy series from Mindy Kaling re-teams her with producer Charlie Grandy (who also worked on Kaling's The Sex Lives of College Girls and The Mindy Project) for a look at five work-obsessed 20-somethings living in New York's Murray Hill neighborhood. (It sounds a bit like the flip side to FX's Adults, whose 20-somethings are obsessed with everything but their careers.) Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus, Jack Martin, Nicholas Duvernay, and Jay Ellis head the cast, while recurring guests include Victor Garber, Ego Nwodim, Constance Wu, and Greg Germann. Three episodes stream at launch, and you'll get two more each Tuesday through June 23.

New Drama Series
Premieres June 5 on Apple TV

Inspired by the 1957 novel The Executioners as well as its two prior film adaptations (also as "Cape Fear") in 1962 and 1991, Apple's 10-episode thriller finds a happily married couple (Amy Adams, Patrick Wilson) stalked by a man from their past: a killer who has just been released from prison (Javier Bardem). Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, who directed and produced the 1991 film, respectively, both serve as producers here, while Nick Antosca (The Act) is the show's creator and showrunner. CCH Pounder, Patrick Fischler, Jamie Hector, and Ron Perlman also appear in the series, while directors include Morten Tyldum, Trey Edward Shults, SJ Clarkson, and Jon S. Baird. Two episodes stream at launch.

Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein—you know them better as J.Lo and B.Go—headline this raunchy, straight-to-streaming rom-com directed by Ol Parker (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again). Lopez plays the CEO of an airline who reluctantly finds herself attracted to one of her new employees (Goldstein) and tempted to violate her own anti-fraternization policy. Betty Gilpin, Edward James Olmos, Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris, and Bradley Whitford fill out the very solid main cast. In addition to starring, Goldstein wrote the screenplay alongside his fellow Ted Lasso co-creator Joe Kelly.

Can Questlove make it four for four? Following three terrific music documentaries about a 1969 music festival, Sly and the Family Stone, and the musical history of SNL, the Roots drummer returns to directing with this profile of Earth, Wind & Fire, the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees known for 1970s hits such as "Shining Star," "September," and "Boogie Wonderland." Selected as the opening night film at Tribeca, the documentary traces the journey of the ever-growing band and founder Maurice White through new interviews, concert footage, and even animation.

Premieres June 7 on AMC and AMC+

AMC's flagship "Anne Rice Immortal Universe" series Interview With the Vampire gets a title change for its third season to reflect the show's shift in focus from Jacob Anderson's Louis de Pointe du Lac to Sam Reid's Lestat de Lioncourt. Based mainly on events in the same-named second novel in Rice's book series, the new season follows Lestat as he goes on tour with his new band—with a documentary crew in tow—and deals with the fallout from the publication of the in-show IWAV book penned by Eric Bogosian's Daniel Molloy. Expect plenty of original songs written for Lestat's band by series composer Daniel Hart (and performed in the show by Reid). New cast members this season include Jennifer Ehle, who plays Lestat's mother, Gabrielle.

New Comedy Series
Premieres June 8 on Hulu

In this British "anti-romantic comedy" series created by Sex Education writer Sophie Goodhart, best friends Alice (Nicola Walker) and Steve (Jemaine Clement) begin feuding when the latter begins dating Alice's 26-year-old daughter Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). The series just won the top award at Canneseries, the annual international TV festival held in Cannes just prior to the better-known film fest. All six episodes stream at launch.

Limited Documentary Series
Premieres June 11 on NBC and June 12 on Peacock

This eight-part nature docuseries examines how various forms of life navigated survival—or, in some cases, didn't—during a variety of environmental crises dating back to 450 million years ago. Filled with "cutting-edge" digital effects, the series comes from the team behind the Emmy-winning 1999 series Walking with Dinosaurs.

New[-ish] Drama Series
Premieres June 12 on the Starz app

Making its American debut this month after first debuting in the UK in 2024, this five-part adaptation of Jordan Tannahill's novel stars Rebecca Hall as an English teacher who suddenly begins hearing a low, persistent humming noise—a sound that (almost) no one else can hear, and one that triggers migraines and nosebleeds. Episodes stream weekly on the Starz app and VOD services (but not on the Starz cable channel).

We've all had that anxiety dream where—years after leaving high school—you're somehow back in class and forced to take a test you haven't prepared for. American High's new straight-to-streaming (following a Tribeca debut) comedy feature turns that dream into a reality for a group of 30-somethings whose senior year in high school was cut short by a tornado. Now, nearly two decades later, they must return to school to finish their courses. John Reynolds, Sofia Black-D'Elia, Carmen Christopher, Jo Firestone, Gary Richardson, Maria Thayer, Topher Grace, Jackie Cruz, Ana Gasteyer, and Zach Cherry star.

Sam Worthington (Avatar), Britt Lower (Severance), and Milo Ventimiglia (This Is Us) star in Netflix's latest Harlan Coben adaptation, which centers on a father who is wrongly convicted of his son's murder and plots to break out of prison when he learns that his son might still be alive. The eight-episode miniseries is adapted from Coben's 2023 novel by Robert Hull (Quantum Leap).

Maybe we should list the genre as "Drama/Sci-Fi." Or is that too much of a spoiler for a detective series that featured one of the most out-of-left-field twists in television history in its first season? This eight-episode second season (streaming weekly through Aug. 7) finds Colin Farrell's private investigator John Sugar tackling a new case, which means an almost entirely new cast that features Shea Whigham, Jin Ha, Raymond Lee, Laura Donnelly, and Tony Dalton.

Premieres June 19 on Netflix

Zoey Deutch and Nick Robinson head a cast that also includes Nick Offerman, Lukas Gage, and Leah McKendrick (who is also the film's writer and director). Deutch plays Jill, a young woman who attempts to cope with her sister's death by continuing to leave her a series of voicemails. What she doesn't know is that her sister's phone number has been reassigned to a real estate agent (Robinson), who becomes so taken by Jill's voicemails that he attempts to track her down and meet her in person.

Premieres June 21 on HBO and HBO Max

HBO's most-watched series in history is back (in three weeks or so). And unlike the unevenly paced prior seasons, this third of what will eventually run four seasons of the Game of Thrones prequel series promises to be action-packed right from its June 21 debut, according to showrunner Ryan Condal. Kicking off with a massive naval battle, Season 3 runs eight episodes in total (airing/streaming weekly), but you'll need to wait until 2028 to see the show's next and final season.

Premieres June 24 on Netflix

Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) directs Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, Jason Momoa, John Malkovich, Al Pacino, and Martin Scorsese (yes, the one you're thinking of) in an adaptation of Nick Tosches's 2002 novel. Modern scenes (in which Isaac plays Tosches as a Dante expert who becomes entangled with the mafia through an attempt to steal a handwritten copy of Divine Comedy) are shot in black-and-white, while scenes set in 15th century Italy (with Isaac now playing Dante) are filmed in color.

Returning Dramedy Series
Premieres June 25 on FX and Hulu

Yes, Metascores for recent seasons of the FX-produced Emmy-winning "comedy" are well below those of the show's stellar first and second years (though a recent one-off special episode did impress reviewers a bit more). But the chief complaint in the latter seasons is that the show has been running in place, and that likely won't be the case in Season 5, which will be the show's last. Will the rapidly approaching end of The Bear free creator Christopher Storer and his writing staff to introduce some bolder plot developments? The S4 finale, which [spoiler!] found Jeremy Allen White's Carmy announcing his intention to quit his restaurant (and the entire industry) seems to point in that direction, and S5—streaming in its eight-episode entirety on Hulu on June 25th, though airing weekly on cable's FX—will pick up just hours later.

Premieres June 26 on HBO and HBO Max

Curb your enthusiasm: It's only a limited series. The first project from Larry David since the end of his long-running HBO hit comedy is a seven-episode sketch series produced by comedy legends Barack and Michelle Obama. The semi-improvised sketches will satirize various events in American history, and you can expect to see plenty of familiar faces from Curb alongside Bill Hader, Jon Hamm, Kathryn Hahn, Jerry Seinfeld, Sean Hayes, and more.

A celebrity real estate agent (John Cena) finds his "carefully curated" life upended by the sudden reappearance of his eccentric "little brother" (Eric André) in this straight-to-streaming comedy directed by Matt Spicer (Ingrid Goes West) and scripted by Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (The D Train). Michelle Monaghan, Christopher Meloni, and Ego Nwodim also star.
