New on Starz: All the Movies and TV Coming in June
Photo by Glen Wilson/Sony Pictures EntertainmentJune is nearly upon us, and we wouldn’t want you blundering into it without an encyclopedic knowledge of what’s streaming on Starz next month, now would we? The streaming service is adding a few noteworthy feature films and TV episodes, and if you’re interested in which, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ll begin with movies, where the Oscar-nominated Roman J. Israel, Esq., arriving on Starz on June 30, is arguably the most notable addition. The dramatic thriller from writer-director Dan Gilroy (Nightcrawler) stars Denzel Washington as its eponymous protagonist, an idealistic and driven defense attorney whose life is upended by the death of his mentor, civil rights icon William Henry Jackson. Roman is recruited to join a firm led by one of Jackson’s former students, ambitious lawyer George Pierce (Colin Farrell), and strikes up a friendship with a young equal rights champion, Maya (Carmen Ejogo), beginning a turbulent series of events that put Roman’s career-defining activism to the test. Though the film itself received middling reviews, Washington was nominated for an Oscar in recognition of what Paste contributor Andy Crump called a “mesmerizing performance,” singlehandedly propelling Roman J. Israel, Esq. into intriguing streaming feature film territory. Also joining Starz on June 1 are SNL-inspired sci-fi comedy Coneheads and Terrence Malick’s Oscar-winning Days of Heaven—damn right we mentioned those two films in the same sentence—as well as mid-’90s blockbuster Independence Day, 1969 Best Picture-winning drama Midnight Cowboy, chilling Robin Williams thriller One Hour Photo and Ben Stiller’s high-fashion farce Zoolander, among others. Following those films later in the month are three Behind Enemy Lines titles (June 8), 1974’s Oscar-winning The Great Gatsby (June 15), late-’80s Bret Easton Ellis adaptation Less Than Zero (June 15), Randall Wallace’s 2002 Vietnam War epic We Were Soldiers (June 15) and 2006’s Curious George (June 16).
Moving now to next month’s small-screen offerings, two Starz original shows will air season finales in June, while a new original docuseries will make its debut. Six-episode restaurant business drama Sweetbitter airs its season finale on Sunday, June 10, as does six-episode family drama Vida. This would-be one-two punch has been something of a mixed bag for Starz—while we, like many critics, weren’t crazy about Sweetbitter, finding it to be “tediously boring, lacking flavor, seasoning or spice,” Vida has earned a far more favorable critical reception, with Paste contributor Whitney Friedlander dubbing it “the anti-Roseanne.” Prior to those shows wrapping up their current runs, six-part docuseries Wrong Man, from Oscar-nominated nonfiction filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost Trilogy), debuts on Sunday, June 3. Berlinger’s docuseries follows an esteemed team of experts as they re-investigate the cases of three inmates who have maintained their innocence during decades of imprisonment. Wrong Man’s investigators visit prisons and crime scenes alike, hunting for new evidence, tracking witnesses and seeking answers from oft-reticent law-enforcement officials as they look beyond guilt and innocence, endeavoring instead to expose our criminal justice system’s flaws. Four of the docuseries’ six parts will air in June before it wraps in July.
Lastly, we turn, as we must, to what’s leaving Starz next month: a staggering amount of movies. Seriously, the majority of the list below consists of just titles coming off the service. A couple of films depart Starz before the end of June, including iconic 1994 sci-fi flick Stargate (June 2), Kevin James comedy Paul Blart: Mall Cop (June 3), Wesley Snipes-starring vampire slayer actioner Blade (June 7), Blake Lively-led shark attack thriller The Shallows (June 10), Oscar-nominated crime dramedy In Bruges (June 15) and 2016’s Ghostbusters rework (June 25). However, the real mass exodus falls on June 30, when dozens and dozens of films (we stopped counting at 59) leave Starz—these include the Friday The 13th sequels, Kevin Smith’s Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, Oscar-winning dramedy Little Miss Sunshine, Martin Scorsese’s legendary Raging Bull, what appears to be a huge collection of 1960s Westerns and much more.
