While there haven't been many big-profile new streaming releases for the last few weeks, there are still some interesting new additions worth watching.
As What to Watch's streaming editor, every week I create a curated list of the top shows coming to the best streaming services. This week, I'm looking at series coming out between Saturday, June 14 and Friday, June 20.
The summer's biggest shows begin next week but before then, there are still some options to stream. I've found multiple docuseries, several young adult dramas, a horror series and more.
So let's find you something new to watch on streaming services this week...
Underdogs — Disney Plus / Hulu
- Nature docuseries streams from Monday, June 16
The latest National Geographic nature documentary is narrated by Ryan Reynolds. Episodes air on Hulu and Disney Plus the day after their cable broadcast: two on Monday, June 16, two the Monday after and one the week after that. No word on an international release just yet but it'll likely stream on Disney Plus in the future.
Underdogs is about the members of the animal kingdom who don't often get space on nature docs. The ugly ones, the ones with weird abilities, the unhygienic ones, the ones who are pretty terrible as parents or family members or mates. The underdogs and the outcasts.
Hell Motel — Shudder
- Shudder horror series premieres on Tuesday, June 17
I don't think I've ever included Shudder on this list before, but the horror streaming service has a new series which sounds interesting. Two episodes premiere on Tuesday, June 17 and new ones arrive weekly after that.
Hell Motel is about the titular motel which is renovated after hosting a strange mass murder. To celebrate its reopening, 10 true crime buffs are invited to stay at the motel for a weekend, but they start getting bumped off one at a time in a crime that greatly resembles the original slaying.

The latest in Prime Video's long line of young adult series comes this week in the form of novel adaptation We Were Liars, which streams in its entirety on Wednesday, June 18.

The Buccaneers season 2 — Apple TV Plus
- Apple TV Plus period romance returns from Wednesday, June 18
