After May’s bumper crop of Netflix originals, June is light on the ground this year – if, by light on the ground, you mean the fifth season of Orange Is the New Black, picking up from That season finale and unfolding in real time. Away from the ladies of Litchfield, Netflix takes to the ring for wrestling comedy series GLOW, before bringing us the latest from Snowpiercer’s Bong Joon-ho, which recently became the streaming giant’s first ever film to premiere at Cannes. Whether it bags the Palme d’Or or not in France, with Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young, Ant-Man and Orphan Black’s fifth season arriving in the coming weeks (not to mention District 9, Hunger and XX, we’re all winners here.
