June 2025 on Disney+ is the perfect time to dive into a world of exciting stories together with loved ones – or solo. For the little ones, there are colourful animations full of adventures and laughter. Families will enjoy warm, touching series that can be watched together. And for adults? Dark corners of the galaxy, dramas with real edge, and premieres that will be talked about all year round. Regardless of age and taste – the June schedule has something that captivates completely.
Ironheart
Premiere of three episodes: 24th June
After the events of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Riri Williams returns with a shield... literally and figuratively. The creators have opted for a new tone in the MCU: darker, more personal, yet full of visual tricks. The series explores the conflict between science and mysticism – AI-based technology versus magic from ancient tomes.
On a production level, "Ironheart" utilizes StageCraft technology (virtual LED stages known from "The Mandalorian"), allowing for seamlessly transitioning worlds between Chicago and the realms of dark magic. Parker Robbins, played by Anthony Ramos, straddles the line between antagonist and charming rogue, which is already igniting fan forums.
Phineas and Ferb – Season 5
Premiere of the first ten episodes: June 6
It’s not just a return to childhood, but also to the classic 2D style — this time with the help of vector rendering in native 4K. The new season is being produced using a technique that allows for smooth scaling on different screens (TV, tablets, mobiles), and the audio has been remastered with Dolby Atmos in mind.
Interestingly, the series still follows the familiar rhythm: one episode, one invention, and one song – but now with a touch of self-irony and meta-jokes for the older viewer.
Underdogs
Premier: 16 June
Reynolds not only narrates but also co-creates the story, and the series clearly distinguishes itself from the classic form of natural history documentary. It uses 12K macro cameras and FPV drones with thermal imaging, providing unprecedented footage of the smallest and often overlooked creatures.
The sound layer was recorded binaurally (3D audio), and the editing resembles a music video rather than a static documentary. The result? Tension, emotion, and at the same time, a lesson in how much can be achieved without being a lion or an eagle.
The Bear – season 4
Premiere: 26 June
Undoubtedly the most mature and demanding entry in the lineup. In the fourth season, Carmy and Sydney face the consequences of success — media, financial, and psychological.
Direction and cinematography remain raw and tense – most scenes are shot handheld, in long takes, often using natural light, which gives the series a documentary feel. This style is reminiscent of “Uncut Gems” and ramps up the tension to the maximum. The critique from the “Chicago Tribune” in the series is not just a plot device – it also reflects real reviews that inspired the screenplay.
Wizards of Waverly Place: A New Chapter
Premiere: 25 June
The new version of the hit from 2007–2012 surprises with its maturity. The visual effects are no longer just flashes from the fingers – now we have full-fledged CGI supported by rotoscoping techniques and advanced compositing.
The script balances between nostalgia and the real problems of adulthood: work, family, responsibility. Fans of the series will appreciate the return of familiar faces, but also the freshness of new storylines. And yes – Selena Gomez appears in a cameo, but without fan service.
Summary? Disney+ in June is a mix of nostalgia, technology, and emotions.
From the spectacular Ironheart, which combines cinematic MCU-level effects with a new narrative quality, to The Bear, where the camera literally enters the kitchen of tensions and ambitions, to the heartwarming returns (Phineas and Ferb, Wizards of Waverly Place) — Disney+ shows it knows its audience and can surprise them.
June is the month when magic, realism, and documentary meet in one catalogue. Technology does its bit, but it's the emotions that take centre stage here.
