June 2025 on Disney+ is the perfect time to immerse yourself in a world of exciting stories, whether with loved ones or solo. For the youngest, there are colourful animations filled with adventure and laughter. Families will enjoy warm, touching series that can be watched together. And for adults? Dark corners of the galaxy, dramas with a real bite, and premieres that will be talked about all year long. Regardless of age and taste – the June schedule has something that completely captivates.
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" utilises 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 trickster, which is already igniting fan forums.
Phineas and Ferb – season 5
Premiere of the first ten episodes: 6 June
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 across different screens (TVs, tablets, mobiles), and the audio has been remastered with Dolby Atmos in mind.
Interestingly, the series still operates on 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
Premiere: 16 June
Reynolds not only tells a story but also co-creates the narrative, and the series clearly distinguishes itself from the classic form of nature documentaries. Macro 12K cameras and FPV drones with thermal imaging have been used here, providing unprecedented footage of the smallest and most overlooked creatures.
The sound layer was recorded binaurally (3D audio), and the editing resembles a music video rather than a static documentary. The effect? Tension, emotions, and at the same time, a lesson on 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 position in the ranking. In the fourth season, Carmy and Sydney face the consequences of success — media, financial, and psychological.
The direction and cinematography remain raw and edgy – most scenes are shot handheld, in long takes, often in natural light, which gives the series a documentary character. This style is reminiscent of "Uncut Gems" and raises the tension to the maximum. The critique from the "Chicago Tribune" in the series is not only a plot device – it is also a reflection of real reviews that inspired the script.
Wizards of Waverly Place: A New Chapter
Premiere: 25th June
The new version of the hit from 2007–2012 surprises with its maturity. The visual effects are no longer just flashes from a finger – now we have fully-fledged CGI supported by rotoscoping and advanced compositing techniques.
The script balances between nostalgia and real adult problems: work, family, responsibility. Fans of the series will appreciate the return of familiar faces, but also the freshness of new threads. And so – 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 comebacks that warm the heart (Phineas and Ferb, Wizards of Waverly Place) — Disney+ shows that it knows its audience and can surprise them.
June is the month where magic, realism, and documentaries meet in one catalogue. Technology does its part, but emotions take centre stage here.
