The Night Shift
After leaving the second season with a cliffhanger and making fans wait a year for a new season, it’s finally happening. Things look much different from the last time viewers of the shows checked into San Antonio Memorial Hospital as Drew is serving in Afghanistan and TC and Jordan look like they may have broke up. It also looks like the show is sticking to what it knows, including playing with the heartstrings of viewers and the doctors and nurses still playing pranks on each other. The Night Shift returns for its third season on June 1 at 10 p.m. on NBC.
Me Before You
Based off of the book by the same name, Me Before You tells the story of a girl, Louisa, who becomes a caregiver for William, a man who’s disabled. While their relationship doesn’t get off to the best start (she accidentally dumps soup on him at one point), it eventually evolves and will most likely make us cry when we go see it in theaters. Time to stock up on tissues, everyone. The movie will be released on June 3.
Tegan and Sara - Love You to Death
The twins from Canada are back at it with their eighth studio album, Love You to Death. The lead single “Boyfriend” was released back in April and their music video was released shortly thereafter. It even features a cameo from Mae Whitman of Parenthood and “The Duff” fame. Side note: they’re going on tour to promote the album! Love You to Death will be released June 3.
Devious Maids
This funny yet mysterious show is back with its fourth season! Eva Longoria is an executive producer for this show and it looks like we will see her on screen as well this season. We were left with such a psychotic cliff hanger. Find out if Adrian made it out alive on June 6 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime.
UnReal
Back for its second season, UnReal is going where The Bachelor hasn’t gone before: an African American suitor. Of course, it wouldn’t be a parody of the behind-the-scenes actions of The Bachelor if there wasn’t any drama and this season definitely seems to have all the drama viewers want. UnReal’s second season premieres on June 6 at 10 p.m. on Lifetime.
Now You See Me 2
The Four Horsemen from the first movie are back with the exception of Isla Fisher. That’s okay because Lizzy Caplan (aka Janice from “Mean Girls”), Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter), and Morgan Freeman (aka God in both “Bruce Almighty” and “Evan Almighty”) are going to make up for her absence. Just like the first movie, the second is sure to keep viewers on their toes as they try to figure out if they should take the events of the film at face value or dig a little deeper to see if they’re being played. The movie is set to be released nationwide on June 10.

The Conjuring 2: The Endfield Experiment
After scaring everyone back in 2013, Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) are back to scare everyone again this summer with the second installment of The Conjuring. This time, they’re going across the pond to England. Are British ghosts nicer than American ghosts? Based on the trailer, it doesn’t seem like it. Be prepared to sleep with the light on again this summer as the movie is released on June 10.

Nick Jonas Last Year Was Complicated
If the album sounds anything like its lead single, “Close,” it’s sure to be a success. In a series of tweets from March 24, Nick released the tracklist of the album and also thanked the various artists who took part in the album. To promote the album, he and fellow former Disney Channel star Demi Lovato are going on tour together. Check out Nick’s new album when it’s released on June 10.

BrainDead
Sure, the premise of the show, which is aliens invading Earth and eating the brains of politicians seems a little out there, but let’s give this show a chance. It was created by Robert and Michelle King, who also worked on “The Good Wife,” so obviously it should be somewhat decent. It also has Danny Pino in it, who TV fans know as Nick Amaro from “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” and Scotty Valens from “Cold Case.” That alone should make it worth watching, right? The show premieres on June 13 at 10 p.m. on CBS.

Red Hot Chili Peppers The Getaway
RHCP is releasing their 11th studio album. It has been five years since we have gotten an album from them! The single, “Dark Necessities” made it in the top ten of the Billboard Alternative Songs chart making it #25 for the group. They will be going on tour in September for the album. Stream or pick up the album on June 17.
Finding Dory
Y’all, it’s finally happening. The last time we saw the loveable Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) on the big screen was in 2003. Thirteen years later, she’s back! Guess what...she’s remembering things! Soooo looking forward to reliving my childhood by seeing this movie when it’s released on June 17.

Orange is the New Black
The ladies of Litchfield are back! Get ready to spend the whole weekend binge watching season four of the show (we won't judge) because it is shaping up to be big. There are new prisoners and new COs. And. So. Much. Drama. The fourth season will be released on Netflix on June 17.

Odd Mom Out
Ever wonder what it’s like for moms in New York City? Well, look no further than “Odd Mom Out.” If you liked “Gossip Girl” and looking into the lives of the Upper East Side teenagers and young adults, this is the show for you. It’s almost the same, but instead of the lives of Blair, Serena, Chuck, Nate and everyone else, you get to see the lives of the Weber family and how the different lifestyles collide. Check out the show when its second season premieres on June 20 at 10 p.m. on Bravo.

Pretty Little Liars
After leaving season six off with a big cliffhanger, our favorite little liars are back for more. Even though we know who the original A is, we still don’t know who the new A is and why he or she feels the need to use emojis in every single text now. Maybe the first half of season seven, which premieres June 21 at 8 p.m. on Freeform, will give us all the answers the fans deserve. Let’s be real, we’ve been waiting long enough.

24th
Iggy Azalea Digital Distortion
The Australian rapper is back with her second album! Her lead single, “Team”, is a catchy electro hop track with a shout out to Kylie Jenner. Iggy has a song with The Weeknd that hasn’t been released yet. Fingers crossed that it makes the album! Stream or pick up the album on June 24.
Rae Sremmurd SremmLife 2
The brothers are back with their second studio album. Their debut album, “SremmLife”, was ranked at number 3 on Complex’s The Best 50 Albums of 2015. Will they bring the same heat and impress many ears once again? With a tracklist featuring Kodak Black, Lil Jon, and Juicy J...It might just happen. Stream or pick up the album on June 24.
