What do emotions, Jedis, an intense chef from Chicago, and a catfisher from the Philippines have in common? They all have new movies and shows coming out this June. From animation, horror, drama, comedy, sci-fi, and more, the entertainment options this month aren’t lacking.

THE ACOLYTE
A new Star Wars series is dropping soon. But unlike what we’ve seen before, this show differs in how it’s set during the High Republic era, which is considered the peak time of the Jedi. Set decades before the Skywalker saga, the series follows a young Jedi and her master as they uncover a sinister force that threatens the galaxy. This prequel series premieres on Disney+ this June 5.
BAD BOYS RIDE OR DIE
The world’s favorite Bad Boys are back as Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett stumble into the biggest jam they’ve ever faced.

The movie screens in local cinemas this June 5.
GLITTER & DOOM
We wouldn’t go through Pride Month without a new addition to queer cinema, now would we? Starring Alan Cammish and our very own Alex Diaz, the movie follows serious musician Doom and free-spirited circus kid Glitter as they start a budding summer relationship filled with camping trips, late-night conversations, and plenty of song and dance. This jukebox musical set to the music of the Indigo Girls plays exclusively in Ayala Malls cinemas beginning June 5.
THE WATCHERS
A horror movie in June? You bet. The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night. Considering that M. Night Shyamalan serves as one of the movie’s producers, expect some twisty turns in this horror mystery, which you can see for yourself beginning June 5.
