What Disney+ releases have been confirmed for June 2026?

June 2: *Not Safe for Work*, the comedy by Mindy Kaling

June 2 marks the premiere of *Not Safe for Work*, an original Hulu comedy created by Mindy Kaling. The American writer-actress, who made her mark on *The Office* as Kelly Kapoor and created *The Mindy Project*, has crafted an office comedy in the vein of her previous productions (*Never Have I Ever*, *Velma*, *The Sex Lives of College Girls*).

The series is available on Disney+ as part of the Star bundle, which includes Hulu productions for the European market. This is the kind of format Disney+ typically develops to expand its adult audience: a recurring, weekly show with a well-known cast and a quirky tone.

June 8: "Alice and Steve," the award-winning British series

On June 8, *Alice and Steve*, a British series that won an award at Canneseries 2026, premieres. The series, created by the writers of *Black Mirror* and *The End of the F***ing World*, is part of the lineup of high-end British productions that Disney+ Europe has been expanding since its acquisition of Rivals in 2024.

The series is short (6 to 8 episodes) and features a cast of well-known supporting actors from British cinema. It's the kind of series that doesn't make much of a splash when it premieres but ends up as a staple on "best of the year" lists by the end of the year.

June 26: The Bear Season 5, the final season

June 26 is THE date of the month. Season 5 of *The Bear* is coming to Disney+ via the Star/Hulu bundle, with 8 episodes. This is the announced final season of the series created by Christopher Storer, which took the world by storm between 2022 and 2025, starring Jeremy Allen White (Carmy), Ayo Edebiri (Sydney), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie), and Lionel Boyce (Marcus).

In 2023 and 2024, the series won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, as well as individual Emmys for White, Edebiri, and Moss-Bachrach. Season 5 wraps up the story arc centered on The Bear restaurant in Chicago, with episodes still running between 25 and 45 minutes. Full details can be found in the article dedicated to The Bear Season 5.

The release format (all episodes at once or weekly) will be confirmed upon release: Season 4, released in 2025, was released all at once, which is likely to be the case for this final Season 5.

Toy Story 5 in Theaters: Getting Ready for Its Release on Disney+

Excluding streaming, June 17, 2026, marks the theatrical release of *Toy Story 5*, the fifth installment in the Pixar franchise. It marks the return of the adventures of Woody, Buzz, and the gang following the success of *Toy Story 4* in 2019 ($1.07 billion at the global box office). Pixar has announced a return to the saga’s roots with a focus on Woody.

As is usually the case with Disney, *Toy Story 5* will arrive on Disney+ after its theatrical release, with the timing varying depending on its box office performance. By way of comparison, *Inside Out 2* (released in June 2024) arrived on Disney+ in September 2024 (3 months later). *Toy Story 5* could follow a similar schedule for late 2026, but no official date has been confirmed.

This theatrical release has a halo effect on Disney+ subscriptions: users who see the movie in theaters often extend their engagement with the franchise through the Pixar content available on the platform. For an overview of must-see Disney movies, the selection of must-watch Disney+ movies remains a great resource.

Why is Season 5 of *The Bear* the Disney+ highlight of the month?

Three factors make *The Bear* Season 5 the must-watch Disney+ event of June 2026. First: it’s been announced as the final season. The end of a cult classic series always draws a surge of attention, especially when it’s as award-winning as *The Bear* is. Season 5 is set to wrap up the story arcs for Carmy, Sydney, and Richie, as well as the restaurant’s quest for a Michelin star.

Second point: Jeremy Allen White became a global star between 2022 and 2025. His casting in *Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere* (released in 2025) and his role in *Iron Claw* cemented his status in Hollywood. Seeing Carmy one last time is a major event.

Third point: Disney+ is betting big on *The Bear* to solidify its positioning as a service for adults in Europe. The series is one of three flagship titles (along with *Shōgun* and *Only Murders in the Building*) that justify the Star bundle to the French-speaking general public.

The rest of the Disney+ catalog in June 2026

Aside from the three major releases, June 2026 is a quiet month for Disney+ France. Marvel productions are in a lull between phases (the special *The Punisher: One Last Kill* was released in May). The *Star Wars* catalog is in a lull following the conclusion of *Maul – Shadow Lord* on May 4. Pixar productions are on hold pending the theatrical release of *Toy Story 5*.

As for non-original series, Disney+ continues to expand its catalog with third-party acquisitions, but few major titles have been announced for June. This is typically a transitional month, during which the platform prepares for its major fall launches (Marvel series, Star Wars sequels, new seasons of original shows).

For the monthly global hub and release updates, the Disney+ hub page lists all confirmed and scheduled releases.

What should you watch first this month?

For June 2026, there are three priorities. *The Bear* Season 5 (June 26) is the must-see event: 8 episodes to wrap up a cult classic—don’t miss it as soon as it’s released. *Alice and Steve* (June 8) is the month’s critical highlight—be sure to add it to your watchlist if you enjoy cutting-edge British productions.

"Not Safe for Work" (June 2) is Mindy Kaling's go-to choice for laid-back evenings. And the theatrical release of "Toy Story 5" on June 17 is a great excuse for a family trip to the movies before it arrives on Disney+, likely in late 2026.
