Squid Game, Season 3
The end is near. The red suits are back. And the stakes are bloodier than ever. Reeling from the betrayal, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) returns to the deadly contest with vengeance on his mind. But he’s not just a player this time—he’s out to dismantle the twisted system from within. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) tightens his grip as new VIPs enter the scene. But Detective Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), thought to be dead, inches closer to the truth about his brother. With alliances shifting and secrets unraveling, every move could be the last as they brave themselves for the final showdown.
Squid Game, Season 3 premieres on Netflix on 27 June.
The Bear, Season 4
Carmy, Sydney, and Richie are back in the kitchen. This season, the heat is rising. The trio doubles down on perfection, pushing their restaurant and themselves to new limits. As creative tension flares and personal demons resurface, the pursuit of culinary greatness becomes a test of loyalty, resilience, and heart. With ten new episodes and even sharper storytelling, this critically-acclaimed series is back to serve chaos and catharsis on a silver platter.
The Bear, Season 4 premieres on Disney+ on 26 June.
Second Shot At Love
What happens when first love gets a second chance? In this swoon-worthy romantic drama, Gong Myung and Choi Soo-young of Girl’s Generation play college sweethearts. The pair reunites years later—older, wiser, and a little more jaded. As they navigate awkward reunions, unfinished business, and alcoholism, the two must confront the question: do soulmates ever truly move on? Heartfelt and charming, a must-watch for anyone who still believes in fate.
Second Shot At Love is now available to stream on Viu, with new episodes every Tuesday and Wednesday.
Nosferatu
Haunting, hypnotic, and visually breathtaking, Robert Eggers’s Nosferatu sinks its teeth into the iconic vampire mythos with gothic elegance. A reimagining of the 1922 silent horror classic, this version stars Bill Skarsgård as the mysterious Count Orlok. Obsessed with Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp), a supernatural plague follows in the Count’s wake, spreading through 19th-century Germany with an eerily poetic note.
Nosferatu premieres on Max on 28 June.
Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning
Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in this high-octane race against a rogue artificial intelligence set on global domination. With the future of humanity hanging in the balance, Hunt and his team must confront shifting alliances, impossible decisions, and death-defying stunts across Venice, Abu Dhabi and more. Stylish, intense, and packed with action, this instalment proves that some missions are too important to retire from.
Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning premieres on Netflix on 7 June.
The Immortal Ascension (凡人修仙传)
Adapted from the beloved Chinese mythology novel, this fantasy epic follows Han Li (Yang Yang), a seemingly ordinary man who dares to defy fate and ascend into immortality. Alongside Jin Chen’s captivating performance as the mysterious cultivator Nangong Wan, the series offers ethereal visuals, elaborate fight choreography, and a story rooted in Daoist philosophy. Perfect for those seeking otherworldly adventures and moral complexity.
The Immortal Ascension (凡人修仙传) is coming soon to Viu.
Mercy For None
In this gritty noir-inspired revenge saga, So Ji-Sub delivers a powerhouse performance as Nam Gi-Jun, a former enforcer of the infamous Bongsan Gang. Years ago, he walked away from the blood-soaked world of organised crime—sacrificing his Achilles tendon to do so—so that his younger brother Gi-Seok (Lee Jun-Hyuk) could rise within rival gang Joowoon. Now, after a decade of peace and quiet, Gi-Seok is found dead under suspicious circumstances. Gi-Jun has no choice but to return to the criminal underworld he left behind, hellbent on exposing the truth and serving revenge cold. Based on the webcomic Gwangjang, Mercy for None unspools a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and brutal redemption—set against Korea’s gangland hierarchy.
Mercy for None premieres on Netflix on 6 June.
