What we're binge watching this June

The Gilded Age dives into the dazzling – and cutthroat – world of 1880s New York high society, where old money meets new ambition. 

The story follows young Marian Brook as she moves to Manhattan after her father’s death, landing in the middle of a cultural war between her old-money aunts and the bold, rising Russell family next door.

Carmy Berzatto and his scrappy crew return to the chaos of Chicago’s kitchen in the highly anticipated fourth season of The Bear.

Expect raw emotion, sharp wit, and intense cook‑kitchen warfare as they wrestle not just with dishes, but with the question: what are they willing to sacrifice for excellence?

The eight-part second season of The Buccaneers sees our spirited American debutantes firmly ensconced in 1870s Britain – with London now feeling like home – but their gilded world is upended as ambition, passion, and scandal collide.

Nan, now Duchess of Tintagel, must balance love and duty; Jinny makes headlines over a shocking kidnapping; Conchita and Mabel find unexpected romance; and newcomer Leighton Meester’s Nell brings secrets tied to Nan’s past and deepens the drama.

The Waterfront plunges into the tempestuous lives of the Buckley family, North Carolina's once‑powerful fishing dynasty, as they struggle to salvage their crumbling empire under patriarch Harlan's faltering health.

Created by Dawson’s Creek and Scream mastermind Kevin Williamson, this eight‑episode drama is a raw, family‑drama thriller about legacy, survival, and how far people will go to protect it.
