June has already played host to new seasons ofBridgerton,The BoysandHouse of the Dragon, but the summer of potentially award-winning entertainment is just getting started.

Below, we’ve rounded up the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream onNetflix,Prime Video,Max, and more this weekend.

The Bear season 3 (Hulu, Disney Plus)

Few TV shows have enjoyed as much success in such a short space of time (and for such a low production budget) as FX’sThe Bear, so it’s perhaps no surprise that the series’ third season – which is now streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK – arrives under a heavy weight of expectation.

New episodes of the Emmy award-winning culinary drama find Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and company grappling with the challenges of opening a high-end Chicago restaurant at a time when costs are high and custom is far from guaranteed.

Criticshave describedThe Bearseason 3 as still “great” and “stressful” but at times also"aimless" and “messy”, so it sounds like the magic of the show’s first two seasons could be wearing off. Still, existingThe Bearfans won’t want to miss it.

Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

A Family Affair (Netflix)

The latest star-studded Netflix rom-com,A Family Affair, comes courtesy of Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman and director Richard LaGravenese.

This cheesy comedy centers on Zara (Joey King), a young woman who, while working as the personal assistant to a self-absorbed Hollywood star (Efron), discovers that her boss is having a secret romantic relationship with her widowed mother (Kidman). What could go wrong?

If that synopsis reads to you like a slightly twisted version of Prime Video’sThe Idea of You, then you’re not alone.Criticshave indeed describedA Family Affairas “a heavily medicatedThe Idea of You” that “wastes its A-list talent”, so don’t expect to see this one breaking onto our list of thebest Netflix moviesany time soon.

Now available to stream on Netflix.
