01 Jun 2026 | |By Annie Lewis

No heatwave? No problem. We’ve got plenty to keep you entertained

It may officially be the start of summer, but with the heatwave seemingly having petered out, we’re not exactly being enticed outside for BBQs and sundowners. Settle in for a streaming scorcher instead, with a host of final instalments and long-awaited follow ups. From the next chapters of Clarkson’s Farm and The Bear, to a psychological thriller by Harlan Coben and a remake of Cape Fear, here are the best new films and TV shows to stream in June 2026.

Not Suitable for Work, Disney+ 

Release date: 2 June 2026

Friends fans will no doubt enjoy comedy aficionado Mindy Kaling’s latest series: Not Suitable For Work. It follows the lives of five work-obsessed twenty-somethings striving for successful corporate careers and, if they can squeeze it in, personal happiness in Manhattan’s most glamorous neighbourhood, Murray Hill. Think less coffee at Central Perk, and more late nights at the office, starring Ella Hunt, Will Angus, Jack Martin and Constance Wu. 

Michael Jackson: The Verdict, Netflix

Release date: 3 June 2026

Following biopic Michael’s surprise success – the box office hit followed Michael Jackson’s life in the years up to the 1988 Bad Tour, and therefore before child abuse allegations surfaced – this new Netflix docuseries puts the ‘King of Pop’ ubder a very different spotlight by revisiting the 2003 trial in which he was was charged with multiple counts of child molestation. His acquittal sparked a media frenzy, and this three-part series features jurors, eyewitnesses, and accusers who were inside the courtroom, dissecting the case from both the prosecution and defense perspectives. Unlike other high profile cases, such as the OJ Simpson murder trial, Jackson’s was never televised, so expect never-before-seen footage too. 

Clarkson’s Farm season five, Prime Video

Release date: 3 June 2026

Jeremy Clarkson was front and centre at the 2024 protests which saw British farmers march on Whitehall against the controversial family farm inheritance tax, and this forms a major storyline throughout the fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm. Off the back of the uproar, change is afoot at the Oxfordshire farm to ensure it runs smoothly as it prepares for another farm shop: Diddly Squat 2.0. Clarkson is, of course, joined by familiar faces such as Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland, and Gerald Cooper.

Cape Fear, Apple TV

Release date: 5 June 2026

A thrilling remake of the 1991 film of the same name, Martin Scorsese joins forces with Steven Spielberg to put a modern spin on the psychological horror. Starring Amy Adams as Anna and Patrick Wilson as Tom Bowden, the happily married couple are left fearing for their lives when the notorious serial killer, Max Cady (Javier Bardem), they put behind bars is let out of prison – and he won’t stop until he’s got his revenge. 

Office Romance, Netflix

Release date: 5 June 2026

Jennifer Lopez stars in this steamy rom-com about a secret office relationship. Jackie (Lopez), president and CEO of Air Cruz, runs a tight ship – including a rigid anti-fraternisation policy for all her employees – but when an attractive lawyer joins the team, her policy comes under pressure. Directed by Ol Parker and featuring Ted Lasso’s Brett Goldstein, fans of Lopez will lap this up. 

Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You, Netflix

Release date: 18 June 2026

Thriller fans are also in for a treat with another Harlan Coben series: I Will Find You. Adapted from the 2023 novel of the same name, the eight episodes follow David Burroughs (Sam Worthington), a wrongfully convicted father serving a life sentence for his son's murder, who escapes prison when new evidence suggests his child is still alive. But what he discovers on the outside is a world of lies, deceit and plenty of the twists we’ve come to expect from a Coben caper.
