The 13 Best Things Coming to Hulu in June

The very idea of summer TV doldrums is ancient history at Hulu, where good stuff to watch arrives every few days: classic movies, intense documentaries that keep us riveted, hilarious comedy specials and new seasons of massive hits like The Bear. Here are the best things coming to Hulu in June.

​​Coming June 1

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (PG-13, 2004)

Belly laugh your way into summer with this hit from Will Ferrell, 56. It began as a critical also-ran, but on its 20th anniversary, it’s a comedy icon. Costarring the always great Christina Applegate, 52, as the titular hero’s challenger for the anchor desk, this directorial debut from Adam McKay, 56, also features Paul Rudd, 55, and Steve Carell, 61. Want more Ron in your life? The 2013 sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, also begins a run on Hulu on June 1.

Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (R, 2006)

Great success! Minting a cringe-hilarious marriage of mockumentaries like This Is Spinal Tap with the unscripted chaos of reality TV, English comic Sacha Baron Cohen, 52, sent his gangly, say-anything reporter alter ego, Borat, into the heart of America. It’s hard to imagine the film still feels subversive after nearly 20 years, but it does. And it’s still LOL funny.

Death on the Nile (PG-13, 2022)

Actor-director Kenneth Branagh, 63, reaches for the mustache wax in his second turn as one of Agatha Christie’s most divine confections: Belgian crime-solver Hercule Poirot (his first was in 2017’s huge, even better hit Murder on the Orient Express, which Branagh also directed). This reboot of the 1978 film starring Peter Ustinov features sumptuous scenery, a ship worthy of Instagram and an all-star cast of whodunit suspects, including Annette Bening, 66, Sophie Okonedo, 55, Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot and the legendary Absolutely Fabulous star Jennifer Saunders, 65.

Working Girl (R, 1988)

Come for the impeccable trio of stars — Harrison Ford, 81, Sigourney Weaver, 74, and Melanie Griffith, 66 — but stay for the big hair, shoulder pads and eyeglasses of the 1980s as well as the assured comic hand of director Mike Nichols in this workplace Cinderella spin. You might need a scorecard to keep up with the deep bench of supporting appearances from Joan Cusack, 61, Alec Baldwin, 66, Nora Dunn, 72, Oliver Platt, 64, Kevin Spacey, 64, and Olympia Dukakis.

Clipped

FX hits the court with a dramatic retelling of the 2014 scandal involving L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill, 78) and his notorious (and documented on audiotape) racist remarks to his mistress. Laurence Fishburne, 62, plays Doc Rivers, the legendary Black coach caught in the crossfire, and Jacki Weaver, 77, is Sterling’s rightly embittered wife, Shelly. The miniseries is based on ESPN’s 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs.
