While summer may not officially start for a couple more weeks, summer is here in most of the country and as such you may be making plans to do something other than watch TV. Of course, the best streaming services don’t want you to stray too far away, so they’ve added a lot of new content that will likely appeal to a variety of audiences.

June is Pride Month and the first full week of the month many streamers are celebrating as several of the new additions on the various platforms focus on the LGBTQ+ community. Beyond that, there are some high-profile new films, and, of course, the newest addition to the Star Wars franchise which is sure to be the most-watched new show of the week.

Star Wars: The Acolyte - June 4

Star Wars has continued to be a winner on Disney+ following series like The Mandalorian and Andor.
