June 2025 on Disney+ is the perfect time to dive into a world of exciting stories with loved ones – or solo. For the little ones, there are colorful animations full of adventure and laughter. Families will enjoy warm, touching series that can be watched together. And for adults? Dark corners of the galaxy, dramas with real bite, and premieres that will make headlines all year long. Regardless of age and taste – the June lineup has something that captivates completely.
Ironheart
Premiere of three episodes: June 24
After the events of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," Riri Williams returns with her 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 texts.
On a production level, "Ironheart" utilizes StageCraft technology (virtual LED stages known from "The Mandalorian"), allowing for seamlessly transitioning worlds between Chicago and realms of dark magic. Parker Robbins, played by Anthony Ramos, walks the line of antagonist-charmer, which is already igniting fan forums.
Phineas and Ferb – Season 5
Premiere of the first ten episodes: June 6
This is not only 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 produced using techniques that allow for seamless scaling across different screens (TV, tablets, mobile phones), 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: June 16
Reynolds not only tells a story but also co-creates the narrative, and the series clearly distances itself from the classic form of nature documentaries. Macro cameras with 12K resolution 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 more 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: June 26
Definitely 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.
The 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-like quality. This style is reminiscent of “Uncut Gems” and ramps up the tension to the max. The critique from the “Chicago Tribune” in the series is not only a plot device – it also reflects real reviews that inspired the script.
Wizards of Waverly Place: A New Chapter
Premiere: June 25
The new version of the hit from 2007-2012 surprises with its maturity. The visual effects are no longer just finger snaps – now we have full-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 makes a cameo appearance, 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, through The Bear, where the camera literally enters the kitchen of tensions and ambitions, to the returns 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 documentary meet in one catalog. Technology does its part, but it's the emotions that take center stage here.
