There are some fabulous new shows headed to TV this June. Whether it’s the remake of an iconic 1990s film or Larry David teaming up with the Obamas, your winter TV calendar is officially sorted.

Here are 11 of the most intriguing series headed our way this June.

Not Suitable For Work (June 2, Disney Plus)

We’ve seen her navigating the teen years via the excellent Never Have I Ever, and binged her cringe-worthy take on uni life in The Sex Lives Of College Girls. Now TV writer and creator Mindy Kaling is completing her trilogy with this great new series, which centres on a group of 20-somethings as they embark on their first real “grown-up” jobs. Think Friends crossed with New Girl and a bit of Ally McBeal — you’re going to love it.

Tip Toe (June 2, Binge)

Russell T. Davies (Doctor Who, Queer As Folk) is back with this five-part psychological thriller. Alan Cummings stars as Leo, the eccentric owner of a gay bar in Manchester. He lives next door to Clive (David Morrissey) and they couldn’t be more different, but they’ve managed to coexist until something happens that kickstarts a troubling conflict between them. This is being described as “a timely suburban thriller that shines a light on prejudices creeping back into modern life”. Sure to get people talking.

Two Years Later (June 4, Paramount Plus)

This homegrown drama, starring Phoebe Tonkin and Brenton Thwaites, tells the story of two thirty-somethings living in Brisbane, who meet on their daily bus commute. COVID-19 lockdown strikes and two years later, they bump into each other again and sparks fly. But can they convert their commuter connection into lasting love? There’s lots of buzz around this eight-part rom-com series. Get ready to fall in love.

Cape Fear (June 5, Apple TV Plus)

If this series sounds familiar, that’s because it is: it’s based on the classic 1991 film — itself based on a 1962 movie of the same name — from director Martin Scorsese and produced by Steven Spielberg. They’re both returning as executive producers on this 10-episode adaptation, which boasts a killer cast including Javier Bardem as Max Cady (the role played by Robert De Niro in the 1991 film) and Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson as Anna and Tom Bowden. This high-stakes psychological thriller is getting us excited — that trailer! It’s shaping up to be a wild ride.

Ground Up (June 7, ABC)

The ABC is kicking goals with its local comedy slate this year and this new series, starring Sam Pang, is the latest to hit screens. Pang plays AFL administrator Hugh Shen, who’s been sent from Melbourne to establish Tasmania’s first AFL club. “There’s a divided public to win over, oppressive deadlines to meet, feisty protesters to handle and inoffensive mascots to employ,” an official synopsis reads — sign us up! It boasts a great supporting cast, including Emma Harvie, Lucy Durack and Marg Downey.

Every Year After (June 10, Prime Video)

If you’re loving Off Campus and counting down the days until The Summer I Turned Pretty movie, you’ll want to pop this one on your watch list. It’s based on Carley Fortune’s blockbuster novel Every Summer After, and centres on the relationship between Persephone “Percy” Fraser and Sam Florek over six years “and one pivotal week” in the picturesque lakeside town of Barry’s Bay. This “BookTok to TV” series already has a ready-made fan base who are eagerly awaiting its debut.

Life, Larry And The Pursuit Of Unhappiness (June 27, HBO Max)

Wait, what on EARTH does Barack Obama have to do with comedian Larry David’s latest TV project? A lot, as it happens: he’s the producer of this seven-episode historical sketch comedy series, along with wife Michelle. “President and Mrs Obama wanted to honour America’s 250th anniversary, and celebrate its unique history on this special occasion . . . but then Larry David called,” jokes an official synopsis — ha! This sounds unhinged, and we are totally there for it.

Rafa (June 29, Netflix)

Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t love tennis star Rafael Nadal? This four-part Netflix doco boasts unprecedented access to Rafa, “revealing not only the moments that defined his career, but also the unseen effort that sustained a champion for more than two decades”. Will this play out like a PR puff piece? Probably. Will the world still watch, regardless? Probably.
