Paramount+ next month (June 2023) plans to add 151 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand service. Here are the four most interesting, in my humble opinion:
Joe Pickett, season two premiere
The Paramount original crime drama series stars Michael Dorman as a Wyoming game warden who protects the land against everything from environmental terrorists to cowboy hitmen to psycho animal mutilators. (And you thought you had a tough job.) Based on a series of novels, Joe Pickett’s first season captured a 76 score from viewers at Rotten Tomatoes. Debuts on June 4. Season one now streaming.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, season two premiere
The 11th Star Trek spin-off stars Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike as he guides the crew of the USS Enterprise looking for new worlds in the 23rd Century. Rotten Tomatoes gives season one a critical score of 99 and an audience score of 80. Sounds like another Star Trek success story. Debuts June 15. Season one now streaming.
Star Trek Movie Marathon
And speaking of Star Trek, Paramount+ will add 11 Star Trek movies in June:
Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
Star Trek III: The Search For Spock
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek VIII: First Contact
Star Trek: Generations
Star Trek: Insurrection
Star Trek: Nemesis
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek: The Motion Picture – The Director’s Edition
If the new series isn’t enough for you… Debuts June 1.
The 76th Annual Tony Awards
The annual theaterfest is scheduled to convene on June 11 at 8 p.m. ET at the United Palace in New York with Ariana DeBose returning as host for the second straight year. Award shows of any kind tend to get hammy, and no one gets more hammy than performers from the Great White Way, but you won’t see a better display of musical and dancing talent than during the Tony awards. The guys and gals go all out for this one. Debuts June 11. (Note: The WGA writer’s strike could interrupt the event.)
