The Best New TV On Streaming This Month

June brings (hopefully) plenty of sun and one of the biggest months of TV of the year. Not only does the World Cup get underway, but there’s the thrilling return of House of the Dragon and all the dragons and battles you could wish for, as well as the final season of The Bear on Disney. Here’s everything you need to watch:

The Bear Season 5

The fifth and final season of The Bear also starts this month, bringing the acclaimed restaurant drama to a close. Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Syd (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and co all return, with (spoilers for season 4) Carmy having left the restaurant and food industry feeling disillusioned with cooking. Syd is left in charge, and perhaps the team still has their eyes on a Michelin star. They’ve got financial issues and a huge storm approaching them (literally), while Carmy himself is trying to figure out who he really is outside of being a chef and trying to make peace with himself.

House of Dragon Season 3

The biggest HBO show of the year (that is, until a certain boy wizard arrives in December), House of the Dragon’s third season comes thundering onto screens in June, two years after its last outing. And from what we know so far, it’ll be getting straight into the thick of things as the massive war that’s been brewing for a long time explodes. Expect huge battles ripped straight from the pages of George RR Martin’s books, as Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) seeks to take control of King’s Landing amongst death and dragons. Meanwhile, the likes of Matt Smith, Rhys Ifans, Olivia Cooke and Tom Glynn-Carney return.

Sugar Season 2

Colin Farrell’s neo-noir mystery drama Sugar, which happily stays in the surreal and the weird, returns for another season, continuing the story of P.I, John Sugar. He’s tasked with another missing persons case, this time looking for the older brother of a promising young boxer. Unsurprisingly, there’s more to the case than meets the eye, and John soon finds there’s a citywide conspiracy with seriously sinister implications. He finds himself wrestling with that age-old question all onscreen law enforcers must ask: how far will he go to do what’s right? Newcomers to the cast include Tony Dalton, Sasha Calle, Jin Ha and Shea Whigham.

Cape Fear

A reimagining of the 90s Scorsese film, Cape Fear, on Apple TV pits Amy Adams against Javier Bardem in this psychological revenge tale. Adams plays Anna Bowden, a successful lawyer who years ago represented the violent criminal Max Cady (Bardem) in court, in a trial that resulted in his imprisonment, despite his being innocent of that particular crime. 17 years later, Cady is released from prison and holds a serious grudge, with Anna and her husband Tom (Patrick Wilson) in his sights. He starts stalking them and appearing out of the blue, as Anna is forced to face her past, including why Cady ended up in prison in the first place.

I Will Find You

Another Harlan Coben series, I Will Find You stars Sam Worthington and Britt Lower in a high-stakes thriller, centring around Worthington’s character, David Burroughs. Years prior to the start of the series, David was arrested and convicted for the murder of his own son, despite the fact that he was innocent of the crime. However, new evidence has come to light that could not only prove his innocence but also indicate his son might in fact still be alive. He’s joined in this mystery by reporter Rachel Mills (Lower), who’s also his former sister-in-law. David is determined to get out of prison- and you can expect plenty of Coben’s hallmark twists across the series’ eight episodes.

The Witness

Netflix’s newest true crime drama series, The Witness, recalls the aftermath of a particularly terrible crime in 1990s London. Based on real events, it follows the partner of Rachel Nickell, who was murdered on Wimbledon Common, with her 2-year-old son being the only witness. Peaky Blinders’ Jordan Bolger plays André, Nickell’s partner who seeks to shield his son, the young Alex, as the investigation unfolds and media scrutiny intensifies. The miniseries will be three episodes long and will be accompanied by a documentary, also on Netflix, entitled The Murder of Rachel Nickell.
