What to watch on Netflix, Disney +,  Amazon Prime, DocPlay and Neon in June 2021

That's it, 2021 is already halfway done.

And with the cinemas opening back up and movies being released again around the world, you'd think the streaming services are holding off releasing content.

But no, that's not the case, and June is bumper-packed with things to view. So without any further ado, here's what to watch on Netflix, Disney +,  Amazon Prime, DocPlay and Neon in June 2021.

Duncanville (June 1, Neon)

Amy Poehler's animated comedy Duncanville is centred around the life of Duncan, a spectacularly average 15-year old boy, and the people in his world. His mother, Annie, lives in perpetual fear that her teenage son is one bad decision from ruining his life and will do anything to stop him from doing so. His father, Jack, is determined to be a better dad than his father.

Starring: Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), and Ty Burrell (Modern Family)

The Marvel juggernaut shows no sign of stopping on the small screen as the third new series in as many months from Marvel Studios arrives.

Marvel Studios’ “Loki” features the God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow in a new series that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” Tom Hiddleston returns as the title character, joined by n all-star cast including the likes of Owen Wilson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophia Di Martino, Wunmi Mosaku and Richard E. Grant. 

Clarkson's Farm (June 9, Amazon Prime Video)
Clarkson's Farm (June 9, Amazon Prime Video)


Jeremy Clarkson is a journalist, a broadcaster, and a man who travels the world to slide sideways in supercars while shouting. 

He is not a farmer, which is unfortunate because he’s bought a 1,000-acre farm in the English countryside and decided to run it himself, despite knowing nothing whatsoever about farming. 

The series follows an intense, backbreaking and frequently hilarious year in the life of Britain’s most unlikely farmer and his team, as they contend with the worst farming weather in decades, disobedient animals, unresponsive crops, and an unexpected pandemic.

Down to Earth with Zac Efron: Season 1 (June 11, Netflix)

Normal People (June 15, Amazon Prime Video)


At school, Connell (Paul Mescal) and Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) pretend not to know each other. But when Connell collects his mother from her job at Marianne’s house, a strange, indelible connection grows, one they’re determined to conceal. 

Later, they’re both studying at Trinity College, where Marianne is popular and Connell shyer, more uncertain. During their time, they circle one another, straying toward other people but always magnetically drawn back together. 

The intimate yet sweeping story of two Irish teens, embarking on an on-again/off-again romance spanning several years that changes as they explore different versions of themselves.

Limetown (Neon, June 16)
Limetown (Neon, June 16)


Fifteen years ago, 326 men, women, and children vanished from Limetown - a research facility in the heart of rural Tennessee. There were no witnesses, no clues, no survivors. 

For most of her adult life, investigative journalist Lia Haddock has relentlessly asked a question that no one seemed to be able to answer: What happened to the people of Limetown? 

This ten-part series begins when Lia makes her first big breakthrough.  Starring Jessica Biel and Stanley Tucci, it'll be interesting to see how this shakes off any comparisons to the much-loved The Leftovers.

Luca (June 18, Disney +)
