If big-screen sequels are what you seek, June shall be your field day. There are at least eight this month, from an X-Men follow-up (Dark Phoenix) to a fourth installment in the saga of Buzz and Woody (Toy Story 4) to more megasharks (47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter) and on and on. But fear not. There are also originals to get excited about as summer officially kicks off: Late Night, a Sundance splash written by Mindy Kaling, starring her and Emma Thompson; The Dead Don’t Die, in which Jim Jarmusch assembles his favorite actors to battle zombies; and The Last Black Man in San Francisco, a gorgeous-looking indie that won raves at Sundance and a directing award for Joe Talbot.
On the small screen, The Handmaid’s Tale, Luther, Black Mirror, Big Little Lies, and Pose are all returning, along with The Loudest Voice, Showtime’s miniseries about Fox News founder Roger Ailes. June also brings new music from The Jonas Brothers, Madonna, Prince, and Bruce Springsteen, plus books from Emily Nussbaum, Elizabeth Gilbert, Catherine Chung, and others.
Dig on in.
