Is this our new Friends fix? Mindy Kaling\u2019s comedy series, set in Manhattan\u2019s affluent Murray Hill neighbourhood, follows the misadventures of a handful of young professionals, but don\u2019t expect much hanging around in coffee shops musing on modern life: these friends are too busy trying to scramble up the corporate ladder to sit around listening to someone singing Smelly Cat. Ella Hunt, Avantika, Will Angus, Jack Martin, Nicholas Duvernay and Jay Ellis star in this workplace comedy of errors.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Jackson: The VerdictFrom Wednesday, June 3rd, Netflix<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">After the success of the movie biopic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/review\/2026\/04\/21\/michael-review-two-hours-of-cosplay-karaoke-and-absolutely-no-suggestion-of-impropriety\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/culture\/film\/review\/2026\/04\/21\/michael-review-two-hours-of-cosplay-karaoke-and-absolutely-no-suggestion-of-impropriety\/\">Michael<\/a>, the battle for Michael Jackson\u2019s legacy continues with this three-part docuseries taking us behind the scenes at the singer\u2019s trial on charges of child molestation. It features interviews with people who were directly involved with the trial, including jurors, witnesses and key people in the courtroom. Unlike OJ\u2019s trial, Jackson\u2019s wasn\u2019t televised, but the documentary features lots of news footage, including scenes outside the courtroom, and a bizarre direct-to-camera appeal for impartial judgment from Jackson himself. Twenty years after the singer was acquitted, this series focuses on the downfall of the one-time king of pop. <\/p>\n<p>Clarkson\u2019s Farm season fiveFrom Wednesday, June 3rd, Prime Video<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Jeremy Clarkson must be doing something right down at Diddly Squat Farm, because he\u2019s made it to a fifth series without the whole venture going pork-belly up. But a new threat to the farm comes in the form of a British government budget that has the farming community hopping mad. Clarkson has plans to bring Diddly Squat into the digital age with some high-tech innovations, but this will entail Kaleb, his trusty right-hand man, venturing outside Britain for the first time in his life.<\/p>\n<p>The Murder of Rachel Nickell &amp; The WitnessFrom Thursday, June 4th, Netflix<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">This month Netflix has two offerings dealing with one terrible tragedy in 1992. The Murder of Rachel Nickell tells the story of the horrific murder of a young mother in broad daylight on Wimbledon Common, in London. Director Lucy Bowden looks into the flawed investigation that followed Nickell\u2019s murder, which took an inordinate amount of time and led to the wrong person being prosecuted. The sole witness to Nickell\u2019s murder was her two-year-old toddler, Alex; The Witness dramatises the aftermath of Nickell\u2019s murder as her partner, Andr\u00e9 Hanscombe, focuses on healing his traumatised son and protecting him from the media maelstrom.<\/p>\n<p>Cape FearFrom Friday, June 5th, Apple TV<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The original 1962 film starred Robert Mitchum and Gregory Peck; the 1991 remake was directed by Martin Scorsese and starred Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis.

Bardem is bad guy Max Cady, who has been released from prison after 17 years and is looking for revenge. Adams and Wilson play the married lawyers Anna and Tom Bowden. When they learn that Anna\u2019s former client is now free, they realise that their lives \u2013 and the lives of their family \u2013 are now on a knife edge and that nowhere is safe.<\/p>\n<p>Norway: The Dark HorseFrom Tuesday, June 9th, Netflix<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">While the Republic of Ireland have seen their World Cup hopes dashed despite a late resurgence, Norway have finally managed to qualify for this summer\u2019s tournament in North America, marking a return to big international tournaments after 26 years of hurt and heartache. This is in no small way thanks to a new generation of Norse goalscoring gods, including Martin Odegaard, Alexander Sorloth, Antonio Nusa and the mighty Manchester City star Erling Haaland. This two-part documentary charts the team\u2019s renaissance under head coach Stale Solbakken. Can Norway get out of their group of death with France and Senegal and go all the way to the final?<\/p>\n<p>Every Year AfterFrom Wednesday, June 10th, Prime Video<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The sun is out, the mercury\u2019s up, the summer is beginning and love is in the air. But something\u2019s missing \u2013 and you know what that is: with no new season of The Summer I Turned Pretty, we\u2019re facing a teen-romance drama drought. Fear not, because here\u2019s another tumescent adolescent tale, this one based on the bestselling novel Every Summer After, by Carley Fortune, and set around the idyllic lake resort of Barry\u2019s Bay. There\u2019s even a dream girl with a funny name \u2013 Percy \u2013 and no shortage of hunks to deliver smouldering looks in her general direction. The series follows Percy\u2019s summer visits to Barry\u2019s Bay over six years and asks: what if your first love was actually the one? Look away now, Mom and Dad.<\/p>\n<p>Harlan Coben\u2019s I Will Find YouFrom Thursday, June 18th, Netflix<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">David Burroughs is serving a life sentence for a murder he did not commit.

But then he receives word that his son may still be alive, so he vows to find his child and prove his innocence. But first there\u2019s going to have to be a jailbreak. What will Burroughs find when he gets outside? A world of lies, deceit, betrayal and danger, of course, plus all the twisty plots we\u2019d expect from this latest telly adaptation of a Harlan Coben thriller. Sam Worthington stars as Burroughs, with a cast that includes Britt Lower as his sister-in-law Rachel, Milo Ventimiglia as Rachel\u2019s ex-boyfriend Hayden and Madeleine Stowe as the wealthy heiress Gertrude. <\/p>\n<p>Sugar, season twoFrom Friday, June 19th, Apple TV<img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"Colin Farrell and Jin Ha in Sugar, premiering June 19th, 2026, on Apple TV\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RAQAVYPMJRDTNM626XT5ENEFU4.jpg\"   width=\"800\" height=\"533\"\/>Colin Farrell and Jin Ha in Sugar, premiering June 19th, 2026, on Apple TV <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">John Sugar is a private detective in Los Angeles who also happens to be a bit of a cineaste. So it\u2019s no surprise that his life resembles a neo-noir detective flick in the style of Elmore Leonard. Colin Farrell returns as Sugar in this second series, and he\u2019s still searching for his missing sister, with hope diminishing of ever finding her. But he\u2019s still got to work, so he takes on a new client: a boxer who is trying to track down his troubled older brother.
