Ocean with David Attenborough (June 8)

A legend of nature filmmaking and global conservation efforts, Sir David Attenborough is but a hop, skip and a jump away from the big 1-0-0, making it extra astounding that he’s still releasing urgent and beautifully told documentaries. At his big age, he’s even tackling his most pointed topic yet, getting candid about the tremendous threat we as a species present to our precious oceans.

This latest feature kicks off with the typical, jaw-dropping footage of animals in action that we’ve come to expect, before diverting into a disturbing look at how deep-ocean trawling is decimating the critters we’ve just fallen in love with. Sir Dave doesn’t let humanity off the hook, but presents a life raft—hope, for the opportunity to turn back the clock and triage the mess we’ve obliviously been making.

Ironheart: Season 1 (June 25)

The MCU has been left in a weird spot with Iron Man’s passing (barely a spoiler—statistically, you certainly saw his sacrificial snap in Avengers: Endgame, come on now). Even Robert Downey Jr. himself feels the RDJ-shaped hole in the franchise, quickly getting recast as Victor Von Doom for the next big team-up. Until then, how about another tale of a plucky engineering genius strapping on a next-level mech suit?

Dominique Thorne is Riri Williams, a rising young genius from Chicago ready to make her own mark on the superhero mythos—until she’s waylaid by mysterious newcomer The Hood, played by Anthony Ramos. The sprawling cast includes drag stars, Alden Ehrenreich, Sacha Baron Cohen, Aussie Zoe Terakes and much more.

FX’s The Bear: Season 4 (June 26)

When we last saw stressed-out chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), he was tackling a mediocre review for the revamped restaurant that has been sapping his energy (and frankly, will to live) for seasons on end. At the same time, FX’s hit restaurant drama itself was garnering its first negative reviews, for a season that was considered uneventful and repetitive compared to the explosive first two chapters. Eh, what do critics know about anything?

Filmed concurrently with season three, this latest batch of episodes is hopefully cooking up some change. I just want to see the family business take off, dammit, and I want Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) to get the attention and respect she deserves so that she doesn’t jump ship and take a better gig somewhere else. I want everyone to be happy! It would be bad TV, but I want the Berzatto clan to thrive and eat sandwiches! Is that so much to ask?
