Loki, being not very low-key
Lupin

S2 / Netflix, 11 June
Monsters at Work
This Monsters, Inc. sequel/spin-off series follows the adventures of the ambitious Tylor Tuskmon, a new employee at the Monsters factory – which now processes children’s laughter, rather than their screams of fear, into energy. Tylor dreams of working alongside his idols Mike and Sulley, but must first prove himself as a mere mechanic.

Wolfgang
Rising from obscurity in Austria to become a TV fixture and glitzy restaurateur in the USA, Wolfgang Puck all but invented the concept of the celebrity chef… but let’s not hold that against him. His life gets the full documentary treatment in this film from the creators of Chef’s Table ; just make sure you don’t watch it on an empty stomach.
Film / Disney+, 25 June
Fatherhood
Kevin Hart plays a widower chucked in at the deep end of parenthood in this Netflix original comedy drama from About a Boy and American Pie co-director Paul Weitz. Based on a true story, it looks the very essence of a tearjerking heartwarmer (or possibly a heartwarming tearjerker), which is something of a departure for outspoken comic Hart.

Bosch
Bosch is Amazon’s longest-running original show, and for our money its best. In this final season, our Hollywood detective is tracking down another killer (there’s a shock)… but it’s the subplots and supporting characters that makes Bosch such a compelling cop yarn. Tearful fans take heart: a spin-off series is reportedly in the works.
S7 / Amazon Prime Video, 25 June
Rick and Morty
A box-fresh season of the cartoon sci-fi sitcom drops onto E4 and
All 4 from this month, with one instalment appearing each week. You probably know the drill by now: an alcoholic, foul-mouthed mad scientist and his nervy teenage grandson embark on adventures through space and time with (yes, we’re going there) hilarious results.
