Never Have I Ever: Season 4 (June 8)
In the final season, it’s Devi’s senior year, and that comes with all the stress, fear of change, and the ever important ritual of Prom. NHIE has been a great series known for its diversity and frank, unapologetic exploration of female desire. Will be sad to see it go but we all know high school shows fall apart once they graduate.
Break Point: Part 2 (June 21)
Elite sport has never been so exposed. Hoping to replicate the hugely popular Formula 1 exposé Drive to Survive, Break Point premiered earlier this year following top tennis pros as they compete across the globe at multiple Grand Slams, and the men and women’s tennis tours. Part 2 returns with the road to Wimbledon.
The Witcher: Season 3 Part 1 (June 29)
It may shock and surprise you, but Henry Cavill is a major nerd. His love for the book and video games the Witcher series is based upon is so great, he’s even departing the high-fantasy series due to creative differences (aka the disrespect to canon). Season 3 will be his final season in the role as Geralt, so get your looks while you can!

The Perfect Find (June 23)
Gabrielle Union stars in this rom-com about a fashion editor’s career comeback which is jeopardised when it turns out the handsome young stranger she kissed at a party is her new co-worker—and boss’ son. Will she be able to resist his charms or follow her heart? With the rise in popularity of romance novels, the film was developed by Union from the book of the same name, and is directed by Numa Perrier (Jezebel).
Run Rabbit Run (June 28)
Those who are going to miss Sarah Snook post-Succession will enjoy this new Australian psychological thriller. Snook stars as a single mother who becomes increasingly concerned and disturbed by the strange behaviour of her young daughter, bringing up ghosts of the past. The screenplay is written by best-selling author Hannah Kent, best known for her Icelandic historical crime novel Burial Rites.
Nimona (June 30)
Adapted from the popular web-comic turned best-selling graphic novel, Nimona is a shape-shifter, able to take any animal or human form (but usually a teenage girl). She teams up with a villain, Ballister Blackheart to take down the oppressive Institute. Heralded for its LGBTQ+ themes, the animated feature has had a rocky road to get here after production was cancelled over at Walt Disney (boo) but was revived through Annapurna. Features the voice-work of Chloë Grace Moretz, RuPaul and Indya Moore.
