Disney+ Hotstar has announced a list of 26 titles that will be released on its subscription-based offering, Disney+ Hotstar Premium, in June 2020 in India. The three big ones are all licenses from Disney-owned 20th Century Fox. There’s Christian Bale and Matt Damon in James Mangold’s sports drama Ford v Ferrari, driving in on June 30. Then we’ve got the anti-hate satire Jojo Rabbit — out on June 2 — for which writer-direcor Taika Waititi won an Oscar. And lastly, the return of Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator: Dark Fate, available June 16.
The big Disney+ original in June is the young adult book adaptation Artemis Fowl, slated for June 12. Originally meant for cinemas, Disney decided to bring the movie straight to streaming because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic keeping theatres shut globally. The author Eoin Colfer has described Artemis Fowl as “Die Hard with fairies” though we got a more Men in Black vibe from the trailer. Other Disney+ originals in June include a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Frozen 2. Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2 arrives on June 26.
That leaves us with a bunch of new and returning series — thanks to Disney+ Hotstar’s partnerships with HBO, FX, and Showtime — in the Matthew Rhys-led miniseries reboot of Perry Mason, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver season 7, What We Do in the Shadows season 2, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels season 1, the London-set I May Destroy You from Michaela Coel (Chewing Gum), and the South African thriller Trackers. Lastly, MasterChef Australia season 12 — not exclusive to Disney+ Hotstar Premium — will get more episodes in June.
Everything on the list below is exclusive to Disney+ Hotstar Premium, which is available at Rs. 299 a month or Rs. 1,499 a year. With that, here’s an (incomplete) list of movies and TV shows coming to Disney+ Hotstar in June 2020. Disney+ originals are marked in bold for your convenience.
