Here’s what to watch in June before the spoilers hit

Squid Game season 3 and the fourth season of The Bear in the same month? Streaming doesn’t get any better this June for those who love binge-watching. And there’s a lot more in store for those looking to watch something completely new, as the likes of Traitors, Mountainhead, and Ironheart are set to release as well. Here's what to watch in June.

Mountainhead 

Mountainhead is a satirical comedy-drama marking the feature directorial debut of Jesse Armstrong, the creator of Succession. The film centers on four tech billionaires—Randall (Steve Carell), Hugo Van Yalk aka "Souper" (Jason Schwartzman), Venis (Cory Michael Smith), and Jeff (Ramy Youssef)—who convene at a secluded alpine retreat amid escalating global crises. Their gathering, intended as a leisurely escape, becomes fraught with tension as they confront the real-world consequences of their technological ventures, particularly a social media platform developed by Venis that's linked to misinformation and societal unrest.

Release date: June 1 on JioHotstar

The Traitors 

Prime Video’s latest reality show brings a thrilling blend of strategy, betrayal, and high-stakes drama to Indian screens. Adapted from the wildly successful international format that’s taken over more than 30 countries—and earned BAFTAs and Emmys along the way—this game of trust and deception is set to keep viewers hooked.

At the helm is Karan Johar, whose signature wit and flair add just the right dose of drama to this intense social experiment. Set against the backdrop of a luxurious palace, The Traitors India brings together 20 well-known faces from across the worlds of entertainment, music, comedy, and social media. The twist? Hidden among the players are secret "Traitors"—handpicked by the host—whose sole mission is to "murder" (eliminate) the "Innocents" and claim the prize money for themselves. While the group works together by day to complete challenges and build a grand prize pot, the "Traitors" strike in the dead of night, one by one removing their unsuspecting opponents.

Each episode ends with the players voting to eliminate someone they believe is a Traitor. But with trust in short supply, will they eliminate the right person—or fall into the Traitors’ trap? One can’t wait to see the events unfold. 

The star-studded contestant lineup includes Karan Kundrra, Jasmin Bhasin, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Uorfi Javed, Jannat Zubair, Elvish Yadav, Sumukhi Suresh, Mukesh Chhabra, Anshula Kapoor, Sahil Salathia, Harsh Gujral, Sufi Motiwala, Nikita Luther, Ashish Vidyarthi, Maheep Kapoor, Apoorva Mukhija aka Rebel Kid, Purav Jha, Sudhanshu Pandey, and Elnaaz Norouzi.

Release date: June 12 on Amazon Prime Video

Rama Naidu: Season 2

Rana Naidu, the gritty crime drama starring Telugu superstar Rana Daggubati, is returning for a second season on Netflix. Known for its dark and intense storyline, the show follows Rana Naidu, a celebrity fixer in Mumbai who solves high-profile problems for the rich and powerful, while struggling to keep his own family from falling apart.

Season 1 delved into Rana’s complicated relationship with his wife and children, which grows more strained after the unexpected return of his estranged father, Naga Naidu, played by Venkatesh in his OTT debut. After serving 15 years in prison for a crime he claims he didn’t commit, Naga seeks both reconciliation and revenge, setting off a volatile family drama.

As per Netflix’s official description for this new season, Rana Naidu will embark on one last job to secure his family’s future before getting out of the fixing business for good, but not before finding himself entangled in conflicts with his loved ones, and the looming threat of a ruthless underworld figure from his past. The series also stars Surveen Chawla, Arjun Rampal, and Kriti Kharbanda in pivotal roles.

Release date: June 13 on Netflix

Ironheart

Marvel Studios’ Ironheart introduces a bold new chapter in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), revolving around the life of Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), the genius young inventor first seen in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Now stepping into her spotlight, Riri returns to her hometown of Chicago, determined to build her legacy—and armour—that can rival even Tony Stark’s.

Set after the events of ‘Wakanda Forever’, the series follows Riri as she balances her brilliance with the challenges of responsibility, ambition, and unexpected danger. Her journey takes a turn when she crosses paths with Parker Robbins, a.k.a. The Hood (played by Anthony Ramos)—a complex antagonist who brings mysticism into her highly technical world. The clash between Riri’s cutting-edge tech and The Hood’s dark magic sets the tone for a season where science and sorcery collide.

The cast features a strong ensemble including Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, and Anji White. 

Release date: June 25 on JioHotstar

The Bear (Season 4)

The Bear is back with season 4—and this time, there’s a countdown. Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), and Richard "Richie" Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are racing against time—literally—as a looming countdown clock installed by investor Jimmy Cicero (Oliver Platt) puts everything on the line. When the clock hits zero, the restaurant must shut its doors.

This ticking pressure cooker sets the tone for a season built on urgency, tension, and high-stakes ambition. The team must not only deliver excellence in every dish but also prove they can stabilise and elevate their fine dining establishment before it’s too late.

Alongside the core trio, returning cast members include Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Matty Matheson, with Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon in recurring roles. Season 4 explores what it truly takes to succeed when time is the enemy, and failure means the end of the dream.

Release date: June 26 on JioHotstar

Squid Game (Season 3)

The high-stakes survival drama Squid Game is set to return for its third and final season this June. As one of Netflix’s most-watched series, the South Korean thriller picks up where it left off—with Gi-hun (Player 456) thrust back into the deadly world he once escaped. Rather than enjoying the winnings he secured in Season 1, Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) chooses to infiltrate the game and dismantle it from within. Partnering with police officer Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), he attempts to bring down the secretive operation. But his rebellion doesn’t go as planned as the Front Man intercepts his efforts, shutting down the insurrection before it gains momentum.

So, what’s next? According to series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, the final chapter promises a powerful showdown. “The fierce clash between Gi-hun and the Front Man’s two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year,” he wrote in a message to fans.

With the stage set for a dramatic conclusion, Squid Game Season 3 is shaping up to be its most intense installment yet.

Release date: June 27 on Netflix
