Whether you choose to escape the unbearable heat or anticipate the rainy days with a hot cuppa, either way, you’ll be doing that while cooped up at home. So why not keep yourself occupied with new shows or movies? This month brings new seasons, documentaries of iconic personalities, thrillers and comedies for you to stay entertained. Ahead, we list down the new shows and films to binge-watch on OTT platforms in June.
1. The Bear Season 3
Yes, chef! I can’t wait to watch the high-pressure kitchen madness once again in the all-new season of The Bear. Jeremy Allen-White is back as Carmy, who along with his team will focus on taking their sandwich shop turned fine dining restaurant to new heights, all while handling their personal lives. The last season saw the head chef getting locked in the walk-in refrigerator and having a mental breakdown. Just before the locksmith comes to break the door open, Carmy manages to ruin two relationships – one with his Cousin aka Richie and the other with his girlfriend Claire. It was quite heartbreaking to watch, so I hope to see him mend both this season.

9. My Lady Jane
As per British Royal history, Jane, the great-granddaughter of King Henry VII was known for her death rather than her life. She took the throne after the death of her first cousin, King Edward VI. However, support for Edward’s half-sister Mary (the soon-to-be Queen Mary I) grew and Jane was thrown in the Tower of London, convicted of treason and executed in February 1954. The new series My Lady Jane reimagines her story, where she neither goes to prison nor is beheaded. In fact, when she is “unexpectedly crowned queen overnight, she finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head). My Lady Jane is an epic tale of true love and high adventure, where the damsel in distress saves herself, her true love, and then the Kingdom.”
