The Survivors: Limited Series (June 6)

A sleepy seaside town; a tragic cold case; a body washed up on the beach, bringing all that darkness and secrecy from the past ashore with it. This brand-new Aussie-made drama is built of familiar elements, to be sure, but super-showrunner Tony Ayres has pulled off similarly juicy mysteries for Netflix before (see: Clickbait), and it’s based on yet another bestseller from author Jane Harper (see: The Dry).

With that pedigree and a compelling cast of relative unknowns, it should be an absorbing combo of family melodrama and whodunnit, following a young couple who expected a homecoming with their difficult parent and instead get drawn into a chilling murder mystery. It’s set in Tasmania, too, making it just about as “Down Under” as possible without crossing over to our pals in Aotearoa.

Squid Game: Season 3 (June 27)

Six more episodes: that’s all we’re getting from creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and his stream-stealing dystopian phenomenon, after last year’s somewhat disappointing second season. After the mammoth success of the first season—which was only intended to be a one-and-done affair—the second and third seasons feel like one extended wrap-up of all those gnarly ideas and themes.

Halfway through his return to the bloodthirsty Games, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) might be regretting his campaign to set things right, since the show’s last cliffhanger showed his rebellion ending in massive teal-suited casualties and a very pissed-off Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). Is six episodes enough time to bring down the whole nasty game-of-death operation, or could we be in for a massive downer ending? All signs point to yikes, considering the series’ cynical social messaging.

Titan: The OceanGate Disaster (June 11)

I had the pleasure of rewatching Titanic the other night, and am thrilled to report that it still slaps and is in fact a bit underrated, if anything. My household was distracted while watching, however, due to our constant questioning and marvelling at 2023’s shocking OceanGate explosion, where a handful of tremendously rich people died in an experimental capsule at the bottom of the ocean.

Finally, two years after the tragedy, we’re able to get some deeper insight and answers to our morbid musings through this feature-length investigation. It’ll hopefully detail the who, the how, and the grisly schadenfreude-filled reaction that arose in the disaster’s wake—rated R, I’m expecting a doco that doesn’t hold back on the event’s bleakness.

KPop Demon Hunters (June 20)

Korea’s explosively popular girl band scene is in a state of relative turmoil right now, with three members of juggernaut group BLACKPINK going solo with mixed results, and various scandals sending idols and fans into downward spirals. Could these fictional K-pop stars set everything right—and even win more converts to the cause of incredibly catchy songs and slay choreo/outfits?

Rendered in slick CG animation, this original feature film follows three talented gals who sometimes sell out stadiums and sometimes take down supernatural beasties with awesome glowy weapons. Ken Jeong, Joel Kim Booster and Liza Koshy provide comic support, and the groovy character designs are giving a bit of Totally Spies with a contemporary stan-baiting flair.
