New to Disney+ in June

A radical BBC/FX adaptation of Great Expectations from the creator of Peaky Blinders, a series sequel to The Fully Monty starring the original cast, MCU newcomer Secret Invasion, FBI drama Class of ’09 and the belated premiere of Avatar: The Way of Water head June’s highlights on Disney+.

Great Expectations (June 28) has a fantastic pedigree but struggled to win over critics and viewers. Said Rotten Tomatoes: “Even with the inestimable Olivia Colman as a ringer, Steven Knight’s try-hard reimagining of Dickens’ masterwork falls well below expectations.”

The Full Monty (June 24) picks ups the Sheffield steel workers story 25 years after the movie; Secret Invasion (June 21) is set in the present-day MCU, when Nick Fury learns of a clandestine invasion of Earth by shapeshifting Skrulls; and Class of ’09 (June 21) has FBI agents wrestling with artificial intelligence.

Saint X (June 7) is a shifting perspectives mystery series about a missing girl (June 7) while Flamin’ Hot (June 9) is a movie dramatisation of how a Mexican-American janitor invented snack sensation Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

Home Improvement S1-8 and Party of Five S1 join the platform from June 28, Home in the Wild (June 21) is a National Geographic series that’s apparently “a lighter, more playful version of your typical adventurer show”, and there’s a raft of new international TV dramas and docuseries:

• Blood Curse is an Indonesian drama series about two families under supernatural assault (June 7)
• Special Force: Anarchy is a Malaysian drama about a female police rookie who uncovers a dangerous underground group (June 21)
