Attention! The Marvel team has a replacement. Instead of the playboy genius-billionaire-philanthropist Tony Stark, the young player Riri Williams takes the field. At the same time, Dean Winchester will take on the task of saving Los Angeles, Trinity will challenge the Terminator himself, and Song Gi-hoon will finally play his squid. Overall, crime drama is the undisputed champion of June among genres. We’re going to tell you more about the series releases that are rapidly breaking into this summer in the material below.

The lead role is played by Owen Wilson, who feels like a fish out of water in the comedy genre. The season will consist of 10 episodes, three of which will be launched on the streaming service Apple TV+ on June 4.
«The Survivors»

«The Waterfront»
Genre: crime drama
Premiere date: June 19
Release: Netflix
Official synopsis from Netflix: «A successful North Carolina fishing family delves into dangerous waters to save their empire from total collapse».
The show was created by screenwriter Kevin Williamson, who has written a number of youth horror/thrillers in the second half of the 90s: the first «Scream» (1996) and «Cursed» (2005) by Wes Craven, «I Know What You Did Last Summer» (1997), which will be discussed a reason to remember soon, as well as «The Faculty» (1998) by Robert Rodriguez. The main roles went to Hault McCullany (you could see him in the April «The Amateur» and in the May «Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning»), Maria Bello, Jake Vera, and Melissa Benoist.
«Olympo»
Genre: sports drama
Premiere date: June 20
Release: Netflix
The series follows athletes at the Iberian Sports Center, focusing on the risks they take to achieve their lofty goals. It is a Spanish-produced teen sports drama from the creators of the hit «Elite» (2018—2024), which premieres on Netflix on June 20 with all 8 episodes simultaneously.
«Ironheart»
Genre: superhero action adventure
Premiere date: June 24
Release: Disney+
After the events of the movie «Black Panther: Wakanda Forever» (2022), MIT student Riri Williams returns home to Chicago, where she encounters the mysterious Parker Robbins/The Hood. The heroine creates high-tech armor, who can compete with Tony Stark’s armored suit, is engaged in a fierce battle with a treacherous villain with outstanding magical powers.
The official poster features the inscription «from executive producer Ryan Coogler», but we all know that the mention of a successful filmmaker who recently shot his «Sinners», it’s more like an attempt to make a good face for a bad game; Coogler has a very indirect connection to the project. But who is really responsible for it is a team of writers led by Chinaka Hodge, and directors Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes — names that are much less popular, you see.
Dominic Thorne is returning to the role of Riri Williams, and she’s joined on set by Anthony Ramos, Alden Ehrenreich, and many other actors whose names are unlikely to tell you anything. The series will consist of 6 episodes, half of which Disney+ will roll out immediately. With this project, Marvel is finally closing the long-suffering Phase Five (and praise be to God). But no one is going to give the viewer a break yet — the next phase will start in July with the release of the newest version of «Fantastic Four».
«Countdown»
Genre: crime drama
Premiere date: June 25
Release: Prime Video
After an employee of the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in front of witnesses, LAPD detective Mark Meacham is recruited to work as part of a secret task force to track down the killer. However, the search reveals a much more terrifying conspiracy than anyone expected, leading the heroes to protect an entire city of millions.
«Countdown» was created by one of the creators of the «Chicago» franchise, Derek Haas, who also serves as executive producer and showrunner. The cast will include Jensen Ackles, who needs no introduction, as well as Jessica Camacho and Eric Dane. The season will consist of 13 episodes, the first three of which will launch on Prime Video on June 25.
«Smoke»
Genre: crime drama
Premiere date: June 27
Release: Apple TV+
Police detective Michelle Calderon and arson investigator Dave Goodsen work together to stop two serial arsonists in the Pacific Northwest.
The project was created by Dennis Lehane, who, after «Black Bird», reunites with one of the main roles, Taron Egerton. Along with the latter, we will see Jerry Smollett, Rafe Spall, John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear on the screen. The plot is based on the story from the «Firebug» podcast and is inspired by the serial arsonist and murderer John Leonard Orr, who committed about 2000 arsons, most of which took place between 1984 and 1991. The first 2 episodes out of 9 will be available on Apple TV+ on June 27. Jokes about the Poltava arsonist in the comments are probably inevitable.
Continuation of the series
«Resident Alien»
Genre: science fiction comedy drama
Premiere date: June 6
Release: Syfy, USA Network
Season: 4
The new adventures of Harry Vanderschigel, who is not quite Harry Vanderspiegel, are entering their fourth season and will be simultaneously broadcast on Syfy and USA Network starting June 6. The season will consist of 10 episodes.
«FUBAR»
Genre: spy comedy action movie
Premiere date: June 12
Release: Netflix
Season: 2
In the second season, CIA veteran Luke Brunner faces new challenges after his latest mission to rescue another operative who turned out to be his daughter. In particular, with his love from his past life — former East German spy Greta Nelso, who threatens to destroy the whole world.
This time, the spectacular Carrie-Anne Moss will have to confront Iron Arnie. You will be able to watch the battle between the Terminator and Trinity on Netflix starting June 12. The whole old team from the first season is back in action.
«Squid Game»
Genre: survival thriller, dystopia, action movie
Premiere date: June 27
Release: Netflix
Season: 3
Since the third season was filmed simultaneously with the second, we didn’t have to wait long for its release: on June 27, the story of the confrontation between Son Gi Hoon and the organizers of the deadly games will reach its logical conclusion. The last season did not meet expectations in certain aspects (here you can find out why), so let’s hope that the final part will be much more interesting than its somewhat lackluster predecessor.
The third season will have the lowest number of episodes — only 6. Do you think the long-suffering protagonist will manage to defeat the sinister frontman and his similarly dressed henchmen?
We would also like to draw your attention to the following series renewals:
- «The Chosen» (historical drama, season 5, BYUtv, starts — June 1);
- «Ginny & Georgia» (comedy drama, season 3, Netflix, June 5);
- «The Gold» (crime drama, season 2, BBC One, June 8);
- «The Gilded Age» (historical drama, season 3, HBO, June 22);
- «The Bear» (psychological comedy drama, season 4, FX on Hulu, June 25).
