With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to spice things up with something new to watch. From summertime flings to soaring flights, June is packed with content that is sure to satisfy your on-screen cravings. Here are eight new releases coming out this June that’ll start your summer off just right.
Materialists: June 13
Coaches don’t play, and somehow, “eternal bachelorette” Lucy M. (Dakota Johnson) is a professional matchmaker — nine weddings secured and counting. Now the center of her own matchmaking, love isn’t so easy when it comes to herself. Stuck in a love triangle between her old flame John (Chris Evans) and rich suitor Harry (Pedro Pascal), Lucy needs her question answered: who is more marriage material?
From the same director of Past Lives (2023), Materialists (2025) is a film that’s destined to yearn, with an introspective take on love, marriage, and why we even bother. Setting the old rom-com trope aflame, the film is bound to take on a reimagining of finding the perfect match.
KPop Demon Hunters: June 20
From the same studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) comes another animated series, although with less spiders and more demons. Seeped into a world where music meets magic, Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters (2025) shows what really goes behind the scenes of a K-pop star.
Girl group members Rumi, Mira, and Zoey live the best of both worlds: K-pop star by day and demon hunter by night. Their dual identities are shaken up when they realize their rival group is eating their fans away — and not just musically. Sucking away the souls of their fans is boy group sensation Saja Boys, who just happen to be demons in disguise. With their fans on the line, the trio needs to balance songs, secrets, and the supernatural to make it out on top.
The voice acting cast is absolutely stacked with fan favorites like Arden Cho and Ahn Hyo-seop, breathing life into the intense rivalry between the two K-pop groups. With original soundtrack “TAKEDOWN” sung by TWICE’s Chaeyoung, Jeongyeon, and Jihyo, the film is definitely K-pop-certified, with bops that might just entrance you.
How to Train Your Dragon (Live Action): June 23
Fifteen years after DreamWorks’ beloved animated film, How to Train Your Dragon (2010), Hiccup and Toothless are back in a live-action remake. With Mason Thames helming the front of the dragon riders as Hiccup, How to Train Your Dragon (2025) will throw audiences back on a nostalgic ride into the Isle of Berk, where the birth of the greatest dragon master begins.
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is the least heir-like Viking that his dragon-hunting tribe has ever seen. Scrawny to a fault, he pales in comparison to his father, the chief, for his general lack of everything but brains. Hiccup doesn’t just cause problems — he is the problem. When his tribe gets attacked by dragons, he shoots down a Night Fury, a dragon of unparalleled levels of dragon-hunting difficulty. No one believes him, of course, so he makes up his mind. He’s going to find that Night Fury and prove to everyone that he’s a Viking too.
Head Over Heels: June 23
Adapted from the webtoon Gyeonwoo and the Priestess (2020), tvN’s new romantasy series Head Over Heels (2025) takes living a double life to the next level. Cho Yi-hyun is Park Seong-ah, a high school student, who’s blessed with divine powers of foresight. Hustling as Fairy Cheonji, her alter shaman persona, her diverse clientele come to see her with concerns, hopes, and requests for the future. When client and future classmate Bae Gyeon-woo (Choo Young-woo) steps through her doors, her world tilts. He’s hot and so, so doomed. Foreseeing a premature death for Gyeon-woo, Seong-ah decides to mess with fate and step in, death be damned.
Last seen together in School 2021 (2021), Cho and Choo were less romantically aligned as his character’s one-sided pining falls apart. Although their characters weren’t endgame last time, hopefully, their fates are better this time around.
Ironheart: June 24
In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), Riri Williams was the MIT student who built the vibranium detector, setting off the intense battle between the Wakandans and Talokanil. Now, Wakandan ally Riri is Ironheart — genius, but not a playboy, billionaire, nor philanthropist. Ironheart (2025) takes place after Riri comes back home to America to find out she’s getting expelled, depriving her of the university’s resources for her suit-building projects. Running out of options, she turns to Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), also known as the Hood, for funding. Money doesn’t come free, however, as she forms a questionable relationship at best or a detrimental decision at worst.
Reprising her role as Riri Williams, Dominique Thorne will be back in her own epic character introduction. With announcements made of the series since 2020, Ironheart has been years in the making. Concluding Phase Five of the MCU as the last installment, Ironheart is going to be branded with Tony Stark levels of genius and Mark-ed with action.
The Bear Season 4: June 24
The Bear is cooking things up again with a new addition to its menu: a fourth season. Leaving things off on a cliffhanger in the third season, the last we’ve seen of Executive Chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) is less than savory. The Bear isn’t turning a profit and the restaurant is one bad review away from burning up in permanent closure. With missed calls from his benefactor stacking up, time is ticking fast. In the last scene of the finale, the Chicago Tribune’s review is the catalyst to the restaurant’s chances of survival — turning sweet or sour.
Alongside Carmy’s fragile situation, Chef de Cuisine Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) was also stuck in a dilemma teased in the third season. With a job offer from Adam with benefits that are leagues above hers at the Bear, she has to make a decision — her career or Carmy.
F1 The Movie: June 27
From the director of Top Gun: Maverick (2022) comes another film that’ll test the limits and pump viewers full of adrenaline. Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was supposed to be a Formula 1 (F1) racing legend back in the ‘90s, until that dream bitterly got snatched away because of a racing accident. His retirement gets cut short when he gets asked to come back to the F1 world and drive alongside rookie prodigy Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) for the Apex Grand Prix. Life is indeed a highway because their relationship couldn’t be further from perfect — behind the wheel or off the track. Despite their general displeasure towards the other, Sonny and Joshua’s rivalry must somehow coexist with teamwork to finally climb out of the bottom rankings and cross the finish line.
With F1 driver Lewis Hamilton’s involvement as a co-producer, F1 The Movie (2025) is what he claims to be “the most authentic racing movie that’s ever been made.” Strapped with technical expertise and insider racing knowledge, Hamilton attests to the authenticity of the film and the details that make the racing footage that much more realistic, from sounds to the cars themselves. For Formula 1 fans out there, this is the perfect thrilling summer pick.
Squid Game Season 3: June 27
As the last season of the Squid Game (2021) series, this new installment is the final game to all games. Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is back as Player 456 with the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) dropping him back in for another round of fatal games. After his failed rebellion in the second season, Gi-hun is stripped of all his cards and yet angrier than ever, biting back against the masked men and the mysterious Front Man he’s never quite unmasked.
Quite literally at the lowest of lows, Gi-hun needs to re-work his strategy and claw his way out of the cycle, with as few casualties as possible. Whether he’ll finally be successful in overthrowing the Front Man’s schemes or finally become a victim to the games himself will definitely be a gamble.
