The TV Shows We're Watching in June 2026
June returns several highly anticipated series and introduces new adaptations. HBO’s Game of Thrones spinoff season 3 begins with one of the franchise’s largest battles, positioning it as a major summer TV event. The Bear returns with the conclusion of Carmy’s journey after his departure from the restaurant business in the season 4 finale. Apple TV releases Cape Fear, starring Javier Bardem as Max Cady, with Patrick Wilson and Amy Adams also in the cast. Sugar returns for season 2 with Colin Farrell. HBO also features a comedy sketch series pairing Larry David with Barack Obama timed for the America 250 celebrations. The Listeners stars Rebecca Hall as an English teacher tormented by a low humming noise only she can hear.
"HBO promises that season 3 of the Game of the Thrones spinoff will kick off with one of the fantasy franchise's largest battles yet. It looks like a summer TV event that should draw any dissuaded fans right back into the drama. Plus, in The Bear, audiences will finally see how Carmy's journey comes to a close after he left the restaurant business behind in the controversial season 4 finale."
"What we know: Javier Bardem stars as the terrifying Max Cady in this TV adaptation of John D. MacDonald's The Executioners. The story has been adapted twice for film before-one starring Robert Mitchum and the other with Robert De Niro. The latest remake for Apple TV also stars Patrick Wilson and Amy Adams."
"Why we're excited: Cape Fear is a one-of-one kind of crime thriller about a violent ex-con who tortures the attorney who put him in jail. As Bardem told Esquire earlier this month, this version is "aiming to create more of a specific backstory around Max Cady, where we understand where he's coming from and what he has lost.""
"We'll also see Apple TV's adaptation of starring Javier Bardem. Collin Farrell returns for Sugar season 2, and Larry David partners with Barack Obama for a comedy sketch series on HBO that will arrive just in time to poke fun at the America 250 celebrations. Here are all the shows Esquire's editors are watching this June."
