Slashed Streaming Expenses by Half: Switching from HBO Max to Hulu and Disney+ in June Due to These Attractive Films and Series
Gearing up for summer? Don't let the sunshine lure you outside! Curl up on your couch and enjoy some top-notch streaming services that have revamped their libraries to keep you engrossed. And with the increasing cost of everything these days, it's smart to evaluate which subscriptions are worth keeping. Let's take a dive into what's available on the streaming giants for June 2025.
Say goodbye to sunlight for a while, and cling to your Hulu subscription, especially if you're a fan of horror or drama. This powerhouse service is dropping some heavy-hitters like a sack of potatoes this month.
Take a bite out of "The Bear" season 4, premiering on June 25. This award-winning drama continues its suspenseful, emotional journey and might be its last run—at least according to a small hint hiding in the teaser trailer. But whether it's truly the end or not, I'm eagerly awaiting the latest installment featuring my favorite arrogant, culinary genius, Carmy.
If dinosaur-slaying parasites are more your cup of tea, look no further. Hulu will be the home for all nine "Alien" movies in June, giving fans a chance to finally binge the entire xenomorph legacy. It's time to revisit these chase-your-tail classics—and SPOILER ALERT—even the two "Alien vs. Predator" films will be included! Are they good? Not really. But they bring together two of the bloodiest franchises in one film, so it's worth a watch.
Horror junkies should also be on the lookout for "Scream" 2022 slashing its way onto Hulu on June 8. Sadly, it's only available on Channel 4 in the UK, and Australia misses out entirely. But fear not, "Scream 7," one of my most anticipated horror films of 2026, should keep anxieties high.
If you're after something a bit fresher, check out "Presence," directed by Steven Soderbergh and slated for a June 3 release on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally. This supernatural thriller follows an unseen entity haunting a house, as seen from the perspective of the haunted. While its reception has been mixed, with some people wishing for a flat-out horror and others seeking a drama, it sounds like an intriguing blend of both genres.
Now, if you're thinking about dropping HBO Max in June, I'd say — take a Hail Mary pass! Despite the service happily reverting back to its old name (yay!), it's gonna need more than that to convince me to keep my subscription. Unfortunately, the upcoming lineup for June isn't quite as impressive as Hulu's offerings, though there are still some quality shows, like season 3 of "The Gilded Age" later in the month.
So, there you have it—be sure to prioritize Hulu in June 2025, and for those looking for more stellar content, check out my other articles on new Disney+, Hulu, and Max titles you shouldn't miss.
