June has officially arrived, which means summer shows are starting back up, along with some fun films. We've rounded up the best TV premieres, finales, and movie streaming debuts you can watch the weekend of June 5, 2026.

This week, "Hoppers" finally lands on streaming after its theatrical run. "Office Romance" and "Lorne" have also premiered, if you're looking for other new movies in the romcom or documentary sphere. "Love Island USA" is back for a new season, but our top recommendations this week go to the premieres of "The Vampire Lestat" and "Cape Fear."


6: Hoppers

If you're looking for something that the whole family can enjoy, "Hoppers" is the way to go this weekend. The animated movie is Pixar's latest, following a college student who puts her mind into a beaver to interact with and understand animals. Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, and Dave Franco lend their voices to the film. "Hoppers" is now streaming on Disney Plus.

5: Love Island USA

A new cohort of bombshells enters the villa in the latest season of "Love Island USA." The reality romance series is in its eighth season after its jump in popularity over the past few years. If you can't get enough, the series that started it all ("Love Island UK") is also dropping its newest season across the pond. New episodes of "Love Island USA" stream almost daily on Peacock.

4: Office Romance

Following "Marry Me" and "Shotgun Wedding," Jennifer Lopez's recent romcom revival continues with "Office Romance." The film is cowritten by "Ted Lasso" star Brett Goldstein, who stars alongside JLo as the work flirt whom she falls for. The pair develop feelings for each other while working at Lopez's (character's) airline company, where they must keep their office romance undercover. The movie is now streaming on Netflix.

3: Lorne

If you've ever wondered about the man behind the "Saturday Night Live" machine (and you're looking for something more in-depth than the "Saturday Night" movie that dropped a couple of years ago), then "Lorne" has you covered. The documentary is a deep look into Lorne Michaels, bolstered by interviews from "SNL" mainstays like Tina Fey, Kristen Wiig, John Mulaney, Conan O'Brien, Chris Rock, and others. The film is now streaming on Peacock.

2: The Vampire Lestat

The TV adaptation of "Interview with the Vampire" is back with a new season — and a new name. The third installment in Anne Rice's iconic story finds the titular vampire (Sam Reid) on tour as a rock star following the publication of Daniel Molloy's (Eric Bogosian) book about him. "The Vampire Lestat" airs on AMC on Sundays, starting June 7. Cord-cutters can live stream new episodes through services like AMC Plus, AMC Plus via Prime Video, Philo, DirecTV MyEntertainment, and Sling TV Blue or Orange.

1: Cape Fear

Apple TV continues its hot streak with "Cape Fear," the pulpy TV reimagining of the '90s film of the same name (a remake of a '60s film, based on a '50s novel — so there are layers to it). The limited series stars Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson as married lawyers who are forced to reckon with their past when a man (Javier Bardem) that they helped put away in prison is released and hell-bent on terrorizing them. Notably, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg are executive producers on the thriller series. New episodes drop on Fridays globally (Thursday nights in the US) on Apple TV.

A lifelong entertainment and media buff, I specialize in helping you find how to watch your favorite shows, movies, and sporting events.My areas of expertiseMy main expertise is in streaming services, television, and film. I've tested nearly every major streaming platform, many of which I've used for several years (and through several rounds of price hikes and rebrands). I evaluate the services for content, user-friendliness, cross-device compatibility, and other metrics to see how they hold up in an increasingly competitive market.In addition to my entertainment background, I also help support our deals and tech verticals. I contribute to our coverage of virtual private networks (VPNs) and smartphones. My experienceI've been writing about entertainment, sports, TV, and film for over seven years, starting my career in the Living/Arts department of The Boston Globe. I went on to write entertainment features, roundups, and conduct celebrity interviews for publications like Vulture, TV Guide, Esquire, Time, and The Daily Beast before joining Business Insider as a streaming specialist on the Reviews team.In my current role, I write about everything from finding the right VPN for watching overseas soccer games to choosing the best streaming service for original TV series. When I'm not writing, I'm editing stories from freelancers or fellow Reviews team members.I'm also an expert deal hunter. I love the thrill of sharing an amazing discount with readers, whether it be on my favorite streaming services or on products I know our team loves and recommends. I play an active role in writing about sales and deals for the Reviews team, especially on major shopping holidays.Why you can trust meWhether I'm testing streaming platform interfaces or actively comparing channel offerings between services, I always have my finger on the pulse of what’s new in entertainment. I'm the first person to know when a streaming service has changed its price, and whether or not it’s still worth paying for. As a sports fan, I also understand the complexities of ensuring you can watch every single game in a season, especially as streaming services continue to pick up exclusive rights to select sporting events. I think that streaming services should make your life easier, not harder, and I strive to help make that a reality with our guides.Outside of workMost of the time, you can find me watching a horror movie, WNBA game, or long-distance running.
