7 new Hulu shows and movies to watch in June

At first glance, Hulu’s June lineup looks extremely promising. The streaming service has added several movies this month that are celebrating key milestones, including Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (20th anniversary), AI: Artificial Intelligence (25th anniversary), and Independence Day (30th anniversary). All three movies will tap into the nostalgia of each era.

While those movies came out in the past, Hulu will release several new movies, TV shows, and specials in the U.S. this month. One of the shows has been an Emmy juggernaut since its 2022 debut. Other projects to mark on your calendars include a Mindy Kaling comedy set in New York City, a comedy special by Hannah Berner, and the return of a popular dating series.

The shows and movies are presented in order of release date.

Not Suitable for Work

Gen Z takes New York City

Mindy Kaling is on a mission to create TV shows around specific time periods in her life. Never Have I Ever represents Kaling’s teenage years, while The Sex Lives of College Girls honors her college experience. Not Suitable for Work, Kaling’s new Hulu comedy, is an ode to her post-grad life in New York City.

Five twentysomethings — AJ (Ella Hunt), Abby (Avantika Vandanapu), Davis (Will Angus), Kel (Nicholas Duvernay), and Josh (Jack Martin) — are trying to navigate adulthood in New York City’s Murray Hill neighborhood. From long hours and difficult bosses to burgeoning relationships and messy friendships, Not Suitable for Work will resonate with anyone who struggled during the transition from college to the real world.

The first three episodes of Not Suitable for Work are now streaming.

Love Island UK season 13

Return to the villa

A woman and man walk into the villa in Love Island.

Even if you’ve never watched Love Island UK, you might recognize this phrase from social media: “This week, a hot new bombshell is entering the villa.” Love Island UK has infiltrated the United States so much that Peacock is now airing the eighth season of Love Island USA. Most fans will tell you that the UK version is superior to the USA.

Regardless of preference, Love Island UK is the perfect form of escapism. It’s low-stakes entertainment featuring attractive people searching for love and money. You either couple up or risk getting sent home from the villa. Plus, you’ll get multiple episodes a week, so strap in for some reality TV drama.

Love Island UK season 13 premieres on Hulu on June 4.

Hannah Berner: None of My Business

From Summer House to the stage

Hannah Berner is a prime example of how to properly use reality television to springboard a career. Berner first broke out in seasons three through five of Summer House, the popular Bravo reality show. Berner then teamed up with fellow cast member Paige DeSorbo for the Giggly Squad podcast, which recently won iHeartRadio’s 2026 Podcast of the Year.

Now, Berner is taking her humor from the podcast to the stage in a new stand-up special, Hannah Berner: None of My Business. Berner’s unapologetic and honest personality shines in this special. Millennials will get a kick out of Berner’s rant on grinding.

Hannah Berner: None of My Business premieres on June 5.

Alice and Steve

Rom-com? Nope, it’s a “wrong-com”

Jemaine Clement has been making audiences laugh for decades with his signature dry and deadpan humor. Clement’s best projects are his musical comedy Flight of the Conchords and the vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows. I would not have pegged Clement as a rom-com guy, but Alice and Steve give off major rom-com vibes. Excuse me, it’s billed as a “wrong-com.”

Alice (Nicola Walker) and Steve (Clement) have been friends for over two decades. Steve wishes to fall in love. However, he didn’t expect to find it with Alice’s 26-year-old daughter, Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith), which drives a metaphorical stake through their friendship. There is no friendship Bible, but I would venture to say that dating someone’s daughter is a mortal sin. The early reviews are positive, so expect a charming show backed by the innate chemistry of its two leads.

Alice and Steve begins streaming on June 8.

Never Change!

Back to high school with the Class of 2008

What’s the opposite of a coming-of-age movie? Is it regression of maturity? I’m not sure if there’s a proper term for it. If one exists, that’s what I would call Never Change!, an upcoming Hulu comedy. The movie stars John Reynolds, who also wrote the film, Sofia Black-D’Elia, Carmen Christopher, Jo Firestone, Gary Richardson, Topher Grace, and Zach Cherry.

The Class of 2008 at North Meadows High School had their senior year cut short due to a tornado. In a stunning twist, those students must return to school in the present day and finish their senior year in order to graduate. Imagine you had to go back to high school in your 30s. Crazy would be an understatement. That’s the vibe I’m getting from Never Change!, which promises some debauchery, hookups, and redemption. Maybe it is a coming-of-age story after all.

Never Change! arrives on June 17.

The Season

Hong Kong elites battle for power

I’m a huge Crazy Rich Asians fan. It’s such a delightful rom-com thanks to its eclectic cast, beautiful locations, and charming storylines. SK Global was one of the production companies behind Crazy Rich Asians. That same company has another Asian-based story, but this time, it’s a Hong Kong-set revenge drama called The Season.

It’s summer in Hong Kong, and the wealthiest members of society are there for boating season. The Hext family is one of the most powerful groups in Hong Kong, holding events like charity galas and yacht parties. The balance of power is interrupted when a newcomer named Cola (Jessie Mei Li) arrives and upsets the apple cart. It looks to me like it’s The White Lotus meets Succession. That’s not a bad combo at all.

All six episodes of The Season premiere on June 17.

The Bear season 5

Goodbye, chefs

Jeremy Allen White as Carmy in The Bear.

For one final time, we can all scream, “Yes, chef!” The Bear wraps up its five-season run to close out the month. I want to give The Bear its flowers. Those first two seasons are tremendous and deserving of their Emmy wins. I do think it dipped in quality the last two seasons, but I still love hanging in the kitchen with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Syd (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest of the crew.

It’s a show that never missed a deadline. When it ends, it will have released five seasons in five consecutive years. What a rarity in 2026! As we saw at the end of season 4, Carmy is quitting the restaurant business, so season 5 might be his farewell to the kitchen. I’m sad to say goodbye to my cousins. In the meantime, watch the special spin-off episode featuring Mikey (Jon Bernthal) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach).

The Bear season 5 premieres on June 25.

3 exciting Netflix thrillers to watch this week (May 4-10)

Another week has passed, and Apex is still the top thriller on Netflix and the No. 1 movie in the streamer’s current top 10. Audiences are loving the cat-and-mouse battle between Charlize Theron’s rock climber and Taron Egerton’s serial killer. It will be interesting to see what movie inevitably knocks it down to second place.

If you’re searching for more thrillers, then you’ve come to the right place. Our top recommendation is the fifth entry into one of Hollywood’s iconic horror series. The other movies on this list include a little-seen survival thriller with an A-plus cast and a feature film adaptation of a post-apocalyptic novel. Stream all three of these movies on Netflix in the U.S.

Eden

Survival on the island

What the heck happened to Eden? The survival thriller premiered at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and entered limbo immediately after due to its lack of distribution. Nearly a year passed before Vertical finally released Eden in theaters on August 22, 2025. You would think that this movie had an easy sell—recognizable actors stuck on an island, with chaos ensuing. I’m still baffled as to why a major studio didn’t pick it up in the United States.

Eden is inspired by true events surrounding the residents of Floreana Island in the 1930s. Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) leaves Germany and moves to Floreana Island with Dore Strauch (Vanessa Kirby). They are eventually joined by Margret Wittmer (Sydney Sweeny), Heinz Wittmer (Daniel Brühl), and Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (Ana de Armas). Tensions rise as the competing families vie for control of the island, resulting in fatal decisions that lead to multiple tragedies. Eden certainly has some Lord of the Flies elements in its story.

Again, I’m shocked this movie was dumped in August instead of receiving a traditional rollout from a popular studio. Admittedly, Eden has its flaws and heavily leans into melodrama much to its detriment. Still, it’s an entertaining thriller supported by a stacked cast that is much better than it’s given credit for.

Leave the World Behind

Technology becomes the villain

What would happen if the collapse of technology led to the end of the world? That’s part of the premise of Leave the World Behind, Sam Esmail’s 2023 psychological thriller for Netflix. The movie is based on Rumaan Alam’s novel of the same name. Right when an oil tanker crashes on the shore, something is not right in Leave the World Behind.

Amanda Sandford (Julia Roberts) is on vacation with her husband Clay (Ethan Hawke) and two children when inexplicable occurrences, like the oil tanker crash, begin happening. The root of the issue is a nationwide blackout that has caused widespread panic. Amanda and Clay are forced to grapple with their trust issues after the arrival of the vacation home’s owner, George H. “G.H.” Scott (Mahershala Ali), and his daughter, Ruth (Myha’la).

Some may view Leave the World Behind as a warning to humanity, which feels ill-equipped to handle a devastating cyberattack. Others might watch strictly for its entertainment purposes. I fell somewhere in the middle. There are some relevant messages about the apocalypse, social inequality, and societal standards. It’s also a great cast of talented performers who elevate the source material. I don’t think the film depicts what actually would happen in a disaster, but it’s certainly fun (and scary) to predict the future.

Scream

I would like to play another game

To clarify, I’m referring to 2022’s Scream, informally known as Scream V. It’s a nightmare scenario for anyone like myself, who has to write an article about the fifth Scream installment. For bookkeeping purposes, I’m calling it Scream V. Part of the reason for the similar title to the first movie is because Scream V restarted the franchise after an 11-year hiatus. It’s not a reboot or a remake, but a continuation of the series.

The film opens with a similar sequence to 1996’s Scream, where an unsuspecting high school student, Tara Carpenter (Jenna Ortega), is attacked by a new Ghostface killer in Woodsboro. Tara’s half-sister, Sam (Melissa Barrera), returns to town and learns that Tara’s friend group is now being targeted by Ghostface. If you’re dealing with Ghostface, there’s only one person to call for help: Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), who has survived the killer’s multiple attempts at her life.

I was surprisingly impressed with Radio Silence’s take on Scream. These reboots are typically cash grabs and a way for studios to exploit the IP of a popular entity. Scream V plays the hits—close calls, gory kills, and a propensity for dark humor. For me, it works as one of the franchise’s best entries. I thought Scream was done following Scream 4. Now, you’re probably going to get Scream VIII in a few years.

More Netflix movies to watch

Two new Netflix movies, My Dearest Assassin and Remarkably Bright Creatures, arrive at week’s end just in time for the weekend. You can also stream classic Oscar-winning movies, including Roma and Glory. No matter what you choose, chances are you’ll be occupied for the foreseeable future with Netflix content.
