The Bear to Squid Game: the seven best shows to stream this week
After a peerless first two seasons of the hit Chicago restaurant drama, there was a sense that it was beginning to coast by the third. Can we expect the strained situation between Jeremy Allen White's highly-strung Carmy and ambitious sous chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) to be resolved this time round? The Bear's drama has always derived from the claustrophobia of its working environment – the characters are as close as family and equally prone to explosive emotions. As the restaurant's horizons widen, Carmy faces the realisation that certain changes, while painful to contemplate, might also be necessary. A promisingly primed pressure cooker. Disney+, from Thursday 26 June The rebellion has failed but the game goes on. The inventive dystopian drama nears its endgame, and the horror is becoming more inescapable. The thwarted uprising has done wonders for the prize fund but, for reasons he can't understand, its psychologically shattered instigator Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) has not been killed and is back in the contest. But does hope lie in the guards' work room which has been infiltrated? Squid Game feels less subtle as a satire as it reaches its climax but, as betrayals multiply and alliances are destroyed, the sense of an ending raises the dramatic stakes considerably. Netflix, from Friday 27 June This jaw-dropping documentary offers the stinky lowdown on an ill-fated 2013 pleasure cruise. At first, the passengers on the inaptly named Carnival Triumph (who included hen parties and couples on the holiday of a lifetime) were having a blast. But then the power went out, the toilets backed up and everything went a bit Triangle of Sadness. Soon, fights were breaking out, food was running out and urine and excrement began seeping out of the sewage system, up through the plugholes and into the carpets. Equal parts hilarious and watch-through-your-fingers gross. Netflix, from Tuesday 24 June The central premise of Ryan Coogler's latest expansion of the Wakanda universe is like a homage to Iron Man. Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne, the first Black woman to lead a Marvel series) is a restless MIT student with a desire to create something new. Or she could just recreate something old. In cahoots with maverick criminal Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), she combines technology with magic and unleashes something she can't control. But Ironheart doesn't feel like vintage Marvel, despite Thorne's spirited performance. Disney+, from Wednesday 25 June Sign up to What's On Get the best TV reviews, news and features in your inbox every Monday after newsletter promotion An LGBTQ+ spin-off from the dating series that offers a drastic solution to relationships in flux. These six couples all contain one partner who is ready for long-term commitment and another with reservations. The show sends them away to live with other possible partners, on the basis that clarity will emerge. But it wouldn't be good TV if that was always the case, and that's sometimes an ethical problem – some people leave more confused than when they arrived, particularly when the additional dimension of family disapproval of same-sex relationships is involved. Netflix, from Wednesday 25 June There's a slightly odd tone to this drama, which attempts to function as a law enforcement thriller while occasionally seeming to parody that genre. When an LAPD detective is killed, the hunt for the assailant leads cops into even darker waters as they learn that a 'Chernobyl-level event' is being planned in LA. 'Our mission could prevent another 9/11,' says one, excitedly. Cue a series of wild car chases, extensive gunplay and absurd feats of undercover derring do, all undercut by sly, slightly knowing winks. Jensen Ackles and Jennifer Camacho star. Prime Video, from Wednesday 25 June Three years after collaborating on underrated drama Black Bird, actor Taron Egerton and writer Dennis Lehane reunite for this thriller about arson investigator Dave Gudson (Egerton) and detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett), who has been assigned to help him catch two serial arsonists. Initially, it's a slow burn as the paranoid pair (she's a traumatised ex-marine while he's seen too many blazes) learn to trust each other. But things hot up: the identity of one of the perpetrators is quickly apparent but his motives reveal themselves gradually. Apple TV+, from Friday 27 June

Ayo Edebiri Takes Her Dog 'Gromit' For A Stroll In Jacquemus

(Photo by PG/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) Ayo Edebiri is certifiably one of the most captivating style icons of young Hollywood, with her effortless yet distinct looks, often pulled from purveyors of playful fashion such as Loewe, Bottega Veneta, and Thom Browne. However, this week she channelled the flashier socialites of the 2000s (think Paris Hilton) as she stepped out in Los Angeles after filming Jimmy Kimmel: Live!— a look that was completed with the addition of an equally iconic furry friend. Edebiri left the set in a bright red, draped Jacquemus minidress with long, loose sleeves and a fitted skirt. She sported a warm brown bob and kept her accessories simple with Jessica McCormack diamond earrings, black pointed-toe pumps, and sunglasses. All to let the real star shine. Accompanying her was the actor's black and white rescue dog, Gromit, who kept the accessories simple himself with a black leash. Ayo Edebiri is seen on June 17, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by PG/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images) The pooch is no stranger to the limelight, often accompanying Edebiri to her commitments, and even having visited the set of The Bear . The star (in this case, Edebiri) recounted the experience to Vogue . 'I brought him to the set of The Bear , and he joined the camera department,' she reported. 'He tried to run for treasurer of their Local 600 [the International Cinematographers Guild]. It was really scary.' In fact, the Chihuahua mix did his own interview with the outlet back in August 2024, following an appearance in The New York Times , in which it was revealed he is an Aquarius, 'freakishly sentient', and looks great in clothes. In which case, we hope to see more mother-son fashion moments in the future—perhaps even matching looks. Gromit for Vogue / Image: Edebiri is not the first to make dog walking glamorous. While carrying Chihuahuas in handbags Y2K-style may not be with the times, recently, fellow actresses Mikey Madison and Demi Moore have also made chic appearances with their micro furry pals.

Ayo Edebiri Makes the Case for the Ultra Glamorous Dog Walk
Every so often, Ayo Edebiri's Chihuahua mix joins her for one of her events and commitments. The former Dogue cover star, who goes by the mononym Gromit, chose to link up with the actor in their home of L.A. for a glamorous, summery stroll after her appearance. 'I brought him to the set of The Bear, and he joined the camera department,' Edebiri previously—and very seriously—recalled to Vogue. 'He tried to run for treasurer of their Local 600 [the International Cinematographers Guild]. It was really scary.' 'I'm a gay, divorced entertainment lawyer who was turned into a dog by a former client of mine who discovered I was skimming a bit off the top, but I wasn't aware she was a witch,' Gromit also told Vogue. Edebiri finished up filming for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel: Live and took them both out on a dog walk. Styled as ever by Danielle Goldberg for the evening—and her subsequent stroll—Edebiri opted for a draped red Proenza Schouler dress, paired with black pumps and sunglasses. She wore her long-favored auburn bob in a middle part. Gromit accessorized with a black dog lead.

The Bear is returning this month – here's what you need to know about season 4
The Bear is officially returning for a fourth season, and fans are already hungry for more. Set to land at the end of the month, the new instalment promises more of the bitingly tense moments, chaos in the kitchen and emotional storylines that made the show such a hit. The series follows Michelin-starred chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) as he takes control of his brother's chaotic Chicago sandwich shop. After leaving us with a delicious cliffhanger at the end of season three, the dramedy will pick up as Carmy and fellow chef Syd (Ayo Edebiri) brace for a grilling in a make-or-break restaurant review. Tensions are higher than ever, and with the kitchen crew already fraying under pressure, season four could see them push them past boiling point. Created by Christopher Storer, The Bear has racked up serious critical acclaim since its debut. It's been named AFI's Television Program of the Year for each of its first three seasons and cleaned up at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, taking home 11 trophies from 23 nominations for season two – the most wins for a comedy series in a single year. While season three didn't quite sizzle – critics called it more meandering than masterful – season four is a chance to bring back some bite. So, what do we know so far about the return of the world's most stressful kitchen? When will season four be available? Clear your calendars – all 10 episodes of The Bear season four will drop on 26 June, just a year after season three premiered. The lightning-fast turnaround has become something of a trademark for the show, and this summer release is prime for bingeing. Where to watch The Bear in the UK UK fans can catch all the action on Disney+, where the first three seasons are already available to stream. Season four will land in full on Thursday 26 June. A subscription to Disney+ starts from £4.99 per month for the ad-supported tier. But right now, the streaming giant is offering its service for just £1.99 per month for four months – perfect timing for the new season of The Bear. Rather than paying monthly, users can choose an annual payment option for the two higher tiers. This lowers the cost to £79.90 for the standard plan, which includes offline downloads, and £109.90 for the premium plan, which allows streaming on four devices at once and provides access to ultra HD content.
