House of the Dragon (HBO Max, June 22)<\/p>\n
Remaining as \u201cengrossing and rewarding<\/a>\u201d as ever, the latest season of the opulent Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon begins with the infamous Battle of the Gullet, the bloodiest sea battle in all of Westeros history and the defining showpiece of the Targaryen civil war. What happens next has the \u201csame mix of cutthroat intrigue, spectacular action, and gutting drama that made the world fall in love with Westeros<\/a>.\u201d Available to stream in Aotearoa on the recently launched HBO Max,<\/a> season three of House of the Dragon will be no pale imitation of Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n Head Girl (ThreeNow, June 24)<\/p>\n Inspired by Freya Daly Sadgrove\u2019s acclaimed poetry collection, the six-part local drama Head Girl is billed as a \u201cmind-bending and artistically ambitious dark comedy series\u201d centred on three estranged friends navigating the highs and lows of their early 20s in Wellington. One of The Spinoff\u2019s most-anticipated local shows of 2026,<\/a> Head Girl is brought to life by N\u012b Dekkers-Reihana, Liv Parker and Tatum Warren-Ngata. These three rising stars are the beating heart of this must-watch series if you\u2019re a 20-something struggling to stay afloat.<\/p>\n Tralala (Neon, June 24)<\/p>\n From the creators of Kiri & Lou comes Tralala, Aotearoa\u2019s answer to the hit Australian cartoon Bluey. Featuring the voices of Liv Tennet, Kura Forrester, Guy Williams, Aidee Walker, and Bailey Poching, the heartwarming TV show for pre-schoolers follows the adventures of an imaginative seven-year-old frog who lives a picture-perfect life with her p\u0101p\u0101 in their country cottage. Also featuring music by Don McGlashan, Tralala is sure to capture the hearts of your young ones.<\/p>\n The Bear (Disney+, June 26)<\/p>\n It\u2019s all hands on deck for the fifth and final season of The Bear. Picking up the morning after Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the food industry, Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and co must band together to weather a torrential storm \u2013 and the threat of a sale \u2013 to achieve one last perfect service and earn that coveted Michelin star. Over the last two seasons the wind may have been taken out of The Bear,<\/a> but if that surprise prequel episode<\/a> is anything to go by, the most stressful TV show around might just have regained its mojo.<\/p>\n Not Only Fred Dagg But Also John Clarke (Neon, June 28)<\/p>\n Helmed by the iconic gumboot-wearing comedian\u2019s eldest daughter Lorin Clarke, this revealing documentary \u201ctraces Clarke\u2019s steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood and offers delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry<\/a>.\u201d Described as \u201cthe godfather of New Zealand comedy\u201d by Oscar Kightley, the film isn\u2019t just a personal insight into a legend of the antipodean screen, but also an exploration of how his deadpan wit is still reverberating in the works of countless comedians to this day. This charming and candid celebration of Clarke\u2019s life is essential viewing.<\/p>\n Pick of the Flicks: Aftersun (TVNZ+, June 23)<\/p>\n Regarded as one of the best films of the 2020s, Charlotte Wells\u2019s semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama Aftersun follows 11 year-old Sophie (Frankie Corio) and her 30 year-old father, Calum (Paul Mescal). At the turn of the millennium, the two are on a sun-drenched holiday at a fading Turkish holiday resort. Labelled as a \u201cstunning debut that develops with the gradual poignancy of a Polaroid<\/a>,\u201d this aching film probes \u201cthe way that we remember the people we\u2019ve lost<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cthe heart-stopping act of remembering unto itself.<\/a>\u201d Cue the waterworks.<\/p>\n The rest<\/p>\n Netflix<\/p>\n Rhythm + Flow Italy S3 (June 22)<\/p>\n Another Self S3 (June 24)<\/p>\n The American Experiment (June 24)<\/p>\n In the Hand of Dante (June 24)<\/p>\n Avatar The Last Airbender S2 (June 25)<\/p>\n We Bury the Dead (June 25)<\/p>\n Wicked: For Good (June 25)<\/p>\n Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2 (June 25)<\/p>\n Notes from the Last Row (June 26)<\/p>\n Little Brother (June 26)<\/p>\n Chris & Martina: The Final Set (June 26)<\/p>\n Gladiator II (June 27)<\/p>\n The Rest is Football (June 28)<\/p>\n TVNZ+<\/p>\n 22 Jump Street (June 22)<\/p>\n World\u2019s Most Dangerous Roads S6 (June 22)<\/p>\n Minions (June 22)<\/p>\n Daisy Jones and the Six (June 22)<\/p>\n Ghost in the Shell (June 23)<\/p>\n Despicable Me (June 23)<\/p>\n The Pillowcase Murders (June 23)\u00a0<\/p>\n Aftersun (June 23)\u00a0<\/p>\n Reality (June 23)\u00a0<\/p>\n Sanctuary (June 23)\u00a0<\/p>\n Despicable Me 2 (June 24)<\/p>\n Despicable Me 3 (June 24)<\/p>\n The Great Escapers: The Chase Special (June 24)<\/p>\n Minions: The Rise of Gru (June 25)<\/p>\n Don\u2019t Date Brandon (June 25)<\/p>\n I Am Celine Dion (June 26)<\/p>\n The Little Mermaid (June 26)<\/p>\n M\u0100ORI+<\/p>\n The Narrow Bridge (June 22)<\/p>\n The Big Trip (June 26)<\/p>\n The Good Boss (June 26)<\/p>\n Toys & Pets (June 27)<\/p>\n Rambo III (June 27)<\/p>\n Bombshell (June 28)<\/p>\n ThreeNow<\/p>\n Head Girl (June 24)<\/p>\n Neon<\/p>\n Sisters S2 (June 22)<\/p>\n Tralala (June 24)<\/p>\n Not Only Fred Dagg But Also John Clarke (June 28)<\/p>\n Prime Video<\/p>\n See You at Work Tomorrow!
