Beyond Border-Gavaskar, India’s women are a Big Bash drawcard
New OTT Releases to Watch From 22 to 28 June
The final full week of June brings a busy mix of new streaming releases for Australian viewers, with major titles arriving across Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+ and SonyLIV.
From fantasy spectacles and rural Indian drama to food-world pressure, family therapy, documentaries and reality shows, there is enough on the calendar for almost every kind of viewer.
For Indian audiences and diaspora viewers in Australia, the week is especially packed. Some titles are global releases available locally, while others are India-focused shows that may depend on regional platform availability. As always, viewers should check their local app before planning the watchlist.
House of the Dragon Season 3
The week begins with one of the biggest fantasy releases on the calendar. House of the Dragon Season 3 continues the Targaryen civil war, with rival factions fighting for control of Westeros.
For viewers who have followed Game of Thrones and the first two seasons of this prequel, the new season promises more political tension, broken alliances and dragon-led destruction.
Gram Chikitsalay Season 2
Prime Video brings back Gram Chikitsalay, the Indian comedy-drama centred on rural healthcare.
The series follows Dr Prabhat as he tries to work within a village medical system marked by limited resources, local politics and everyday public health challenges.
The appeal is in its grounded setting. The show reaches past medicine into trust, patience and the gap between policy and life on the ground. Season 2 arrives on Prime Video from 23 June.
Avatar: Fire and Ash
James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash gives streaming audiences another chance to return to Pandora.
The film continues the story of Jake Sully, Neytiri and their family as they face new threats, new emotional stakes and another visually ambitious chapter in the Avatar universe.
For viewers who enjoy large-scale visual cinema at home, this is one of the week’s biggest movie releases. Avatar: Fire and Ash is streaming on Disney+ from 24 June.
The American Experiment
Netflix adds The American Experiment on 24 June. The five-part documentary looks at the origins and evolution of American democracy, revisiting the country’s founding ideas and the question of whether people can govern themselves.
This may not be the lightest weekend watch, but it is a strong option for documentary viewers who enjoy history, politics and big-picture storytelling.
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2
Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender returns with Season 2 on 25 June. After the events of Season 1, Aang, Katara and Sokka carry on through the Earth Kingdom. The new season brings in Toph, one of the best-loved characters from the original animated series.
This is a strong pick for families, fantasy fans and viewers who grew up with the original Nickelodeon series.
Alliance
Arriving on 26 June, it could suit viewers who enjoy reality shows driven by mind games, alliances and unpredictable eliminations.
Prime Video enters the reality competition space this week with Alliance, hosted by Kunal Kemmu. The show is built around shifting loyalty, strategy and social gameplay, with contestants navigating partnerships that may not last.
Little Brother
Netflix’s Little Brother also arrives on 26 June. The comedy stars John Cena and Eric André in a chaotic story about a successful real estate professional whose ordered life is upended when an unpredictable figure from his past returns.
This is one for viewers looking for something louder, lighter and less serious after a heavy week.
The Bear Season 5
The Bear returns with its fifth season on 26 June.
The acclaimed kitchen drama continues to explore pressure, ambition, burnout and the emotional cost of chasing excellence. For fans who have followed Carmy, Sydney, Richie and the team, this season is likely to be one of the most anticipated releases of the week.
The Bear Season 5 is streaming on Disney+.
Perfect Family
SonyLIV’s Perfect Family begins streaming from 26 June. The family drama follows the Karkarias, a seemingly ideal household forced to confront hidden tensions through therapy and difficult conversations.
With a cast including Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa and Gulshan Devaiah, the series looks positioned for viewers who enjoy emotional, conversation-led Indian family dramas.
Other Releases To Keep On Your Radar
Netflix also brings the sports documentary Chris & Martina: The Final Set on 26 June, focusing on tennis greats Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. Lionsgate Play adds the survival horror title The Yeti on the same date. Lock Upp Season 2 is listed for 27 June, giving reality fans another option to track.
Overall, the 22 to 28 June OTT calendar is unusually full. For a big-budget spectacle, start with Avatar: Fire and Ash or House of the Dragon. For Indian storytelling, Gram Chikitsalay, Perfect Family and Lingam are worth a look. For global streaming comfort, Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 and Little Brother round out a week with plenty to choose from.
