10 Best New Things on Prime in June 2024

Coming June 6

Counsel Culture

Who says men can’t be vulnerable? Nick Cannon hosts this podcast-turned-talk show, featuring a range of famous men sharing their struggles with grief, mental health, marriage, trust and financial security with expert doctors and therapists on hand to offer advice. Like Cannon himself, many of the guests have become tabloid fodder in recent years for their behavior (from rapper Ray-J to former NBA star Lamar Odom to comedian Howie Mandel, 68). It’s almost like a non-distaff version of The View. The show also streams on Amazon’s ad-supported Freevee platform.

Coming June 13

The Boys (Season 4)

The stakes are climbing for the protagonists of The Boys, which pits a band of outlaw superheroes against a polished crew of corporate-backed superheroes with a fascist agenda. Now that closeted superhero Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) has set her sights on the White House, backed by pretty-boy baddie Homelander (Anthony Starr), it’s up to the ailing Billy Butcher (Karl Urban, 51) to rally the Boys once again to save the world. Expect plenty of R-rated mayhem and left-field twists like villainous flying sheep.

Coming June 18

Power of the Dream

Sports and politics have long been enmeshed. This doc reveals the remarkable, still-raw case of WNBA players versus Kelly Loeffler in 2020. The Republican U.S. senator and then co-owner of the Atlanta Dream denounced the league’s players for embracing the Black Lives Matter movement during that summer’s pandemic-altered bubble season. Loeffler’s public stance emboldened the players to publicly campaign for her Democratic opponent, Raphael Warnock, who defeated her that November.

Oppenheimer (2023)

Christopher Nolan’s epic biopic about the man who led the Manhattan Project, which created the first nuclear bomb, won seven Oscars earlier this year, including Best Picture. After an exclusive streaming run on Peacock, the film heads to Prime, where it’s likely to pick up even more viewers. The three-hour epic is worth seeing, an absorbing look at a fascinating man who continued to make history even after WWII as he sought to limit the use of the weapon he worked so hard to create.

Coming June 20

Federer: 12 Final Days

Before Roger Federer retired from professional tennis in 2022, he teamed up with longtime rival Rafael Nadal to play a doubles match in the Laver Cup. This documentary captures the superstar’s final days in a sport that he dominated for decades, winning 20 Grand Slam titles and the appreciation of fans and competitors alike for his competitive but kind style.

Coming June 25

I Am: Celine Dion

What has life been like for Celine Dion, 56, in the two years since the five-time Grammy winner was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called stiff-person syndrome that forced her to cancel a planned world concert tour? This new documentary from Oscar-nominated director Irene Taylor promises an inside look at the singer’s health battle as well as her resilience.

Coming June 27

My Lady Jane (Season 1)

You might remember Lady Jane Grey as the great-granddaughter of King Henry VII who served as queen of England for nine days until she was thrown into the Tower of London and beheaded in 1553. This eight-episode alterna-history, based on a YA bestseller, imagines a different fate for Jane (played by Charmed alum Emily Bader). Forget stuffy costume drama. This promises more romp than pomp.
