JustWatch Streaming Charts: June 2026

These are the movies and TV shows US consumers have been most interested in over the previous month

Only truly special films can both appear and claim the top spot in a JustWatch Movies Top 10 chart in the same month, but that’s the kind of film Project Hail Mary is.

Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every film or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different in various regions – select the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet so as to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Project Hail Mary claiming the top spot in the June JustWatch Movies Top Ten chart is no surprise, but what’s with all the thrillers and family movies attracting such attention all of a sudden? Never let it be said that streaming habits are easy to predict, not in the US at least! (Image: JustWatch)


Based on the same information, these are the TV shows that consumers in the United States have shown the most interest in over the same period of time.

The Boroughs and I Will Find You proved that not all TV shows need multiple seasons in order to prove satisfyingly complete. We certainly won’t object to Amazon offering us a second season of Spider-Noir, though. Or even a third for that matter. (Image: JustWatch)


Taking a look at the Top Ten Movies chart makes one thing clear: consumers have largely moved on from the Q1/Q2 movie highlights – Project Hail Mary gets the top spot but it’s the only box office blockbuster included there – and their attention turned, curiously, towards thrillers or family movies (but for the likes of Send Help and Hoppers we’re not complaining). Close Encounters of the Third Kind seems to be the outlier here at first glance, until one recalls that it was scheduled to leave Peacock at the end of June – Spielberg’s most recent other alien-themed film, Disclosure Day, may have had something to do with it too.

Things were less predictable in terms of TV shows than last month too: good one-season productions (like I Will Find You and The Boroughs) finally claimed more spots in that chart, even if other established series, such as House of the Dragon, The Four Seasons or From either returned or concluded their seasons for the year. Such a pity, though, that a second season for Spider-Noir is not confirmed by Amazon yet, contrarily to what Apple has already done for Widow’s Bay. Fingers crossed?
