The Bear's fifth and final season arrives June 25 on Hulu and FX. That is the week's biggest watch-now event: a recent Emmy machine taking its last service just as summer TV gets thin.
This Week in TV
The Bear and Avatar Return as Streamers Make Hard Cuts
Late June is not empty after all: The Bear, Avatar, Larry David, and Adventure Time all arrive as Netflix and Prime Video make hard endgame calls.
Week of 2026-06-22
Late June still has real TV momentum. The Bear and Avatar both return, Larry David is back on HBO, Adventure Time has a new spinoff, and the cancellation pile still says plenty about streaming patience.
The Premieres to Watch
Avatar the Last AirbenderNetflix
Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 lands June 25 on Netflix, bringing Toph into the live-action run and giving Netflix a real family-fantasy tentpole for the week.
Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness premieres June 26 on HBO. Larry David's Obama-produced American-history sketch comedy is too high-profile to leave out of a late-June premiere check.
Adventure Time: Side Quests premieres June 29 on Hulu and Disney+. Cartoon Network and HBO Max follow on October 5, but the streaming launch gives the franchise a clean new watch date now.
Streamer Cuts and Final Calls
KevinPrime Video
Prime Video has canceled Kevin after one season. For an Aubrey Plaza co-created animated comedy that only premiered in April, it is a sharp little example of how quickly streamers are moving on from new shows.
The BoroughsNetflix
Netflix has canceled The Boroughs after one season. For a Duffer Brothers-produced sci-fi series with a big-name ensemble, that is another reminder that even buzzy streaming swings are getting short leashes.
The Lincoln Lawyer is headed toward Season 5 as its final season. That is not the same as an abrupt cliffhanger cancellation, but for one of Netflix's sturdier legal dramas, it is bigger than routine casting chatter.
Also New This Week
The DoomiesDisney+
The Doomies premieres June 26 on Disney+. It is a new supernatural animated comedy-adventure, smaller than Avatar or Adventure Time but still a real family-animation launch.
The American ExperimentNetflix
The American Experiment premieres June 24 on Netflix. The Tom Hanks-produced history docuseries is timely around America's 250th anniversary, even if it sits outside the scripted-franchise lane.
