When Paramount Plus first arrived on the scene, the streaming service made a name for itself as the destination for fans of Paramount-owned brands. You could watch CBS shows such as Survivor and The Amazing Race alongside nostalgic favorites from MTV and Comedy Central, including The Challenge, South Park, Paramount films and more. Paramount Plus has expanded even more since then, becoming the home of UFC fights, Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe and his standalone series such as Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King and The Madison.
This June sees the return of The Agency, the CIA thriller with a cast that can't be beat -- Michael Fassbender stars, alongside Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith and Richard Gere. Also arriving this month is the British dramatic thriller Wild Cherry, which binge drops on June 24. You can catch these shows, plus the return of two Tyler Perry-produced dramas, a livestream of the Tony Awards and more in the coming weeks.
Here are the new releases we're most excited to see on Paramount Plus this June.
June 2
Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal
Why watch: People will definitely be talking about this little-known religious sect once this show comes out.
The religious community of Gloriavale in New Zealand is a small, isolated group that most people have never heard of... until now. Devotion: Obedience or Betrayal is a new three-part docuseries that reveals the secrets of the little-known community that is now being accused by many past members of abuse, control and mistreatment. The series arrives on June 2.

The 79th Annual Tony Awards
Why watch: You need a safe space to have your opinions about the Chess revival and CATS: The Jellicle Ball confirmed.
The 79th Annual Tony Awards -- hosted by Pink -- will honor the best of Broadway; some of this year's biggest nominees include The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, and the latest revival of Death of a Salesman. The ceremony will stream live on Paramount Plus on Sunday, June 7, from 8 - 11 p.m. ET, and it will also be broadcast on CBS.

All the Queen's Men (Season 5)
Why watch: This is the fifth and final season of the popular series with lots of loose ends to tie up.

June 21
The Agency
Why watch: There might not be a more impressive cast than this one.
The Agency, a George Clooney-produced spy drama starring Michael Fassbender, Jeffrey Wright, Jodie Turner-Smith and Richard Gere (and Katherine Waterston and Hugh Bonneville... the list goes on), is back for season 2 this month. (The series was previously known as The Agency: Central Intelligence in its first season, just in case you were confused as to whether it was the same show.) All 10 episodes of the new season will be available to stream on Sunday, June 21. In the series, Fassbender plays an undercover CIA agent named Martian who returns to his everyday life in London after living under cover for years in Ethiopia. Soon, his two worlds start to overlap and he finds himself betrayed and betraying others who trust him.
June 24
Wild Cherry
Why watch: This BBC thriller was acclaimed when it came out in the UK and now it's coming to the US.
All six episodes of the British thriller Wild Cherry will arrive on Paramount Plus on June 24. The limited series originally debuted on BBC One last November. In it, two mothers, played by House of the Dragon star Eve Best and The Penguin's Carmen Ejogo, previously close friends, are forced to take sides after their teen daughters (played by Imogen Faires and Amelia May) are implicated in a shocking scandal at their private school. As a result, the facade of their perfect, tony lives is shattered, along with their relationships.
June 30
Tyler Perry's Ruthless (Season 6)
Why watch: Tyler Perry fans rejoice: this popular show is back after a two-year break.
Like All The Queen's Men, Tyler Perry's Ruthless began as a series on BET and its latest season will stream exclusively on Paramount Plus. In the sixth season of the show, which premieres on June 30, Melissa L. WIlliams returns as Ruth, a member of the Rakudushi cult, a religious group with ever-changing internal alliances and often dangerous and disturbing practices. This season, the FBI is closing in on them and the future of the cult hangs in the balance.
