Orange Is The New Black: To say that season four ended on a MASSIVE cliff-hanger would be a MASSIVE understatement. Season five of the series will take place in real time over the course of just three days. Orange Is The New Black returns to Netflix on June 9.

Gypsy: Naomi Watts seriously blurs the lines of her personal and professional lives in the new Netflix original series Gypsy. Naomi will play Jean Halloway, a therapist with a dark secret. If you’re a fan of Big Little Lies, Gypsy will be right up your alley. Gypsy premieres on Netflix on June 30.

I’m Dying Up Here:

Produced by Jim Carrey, I’m Dying Up Here is a drama about stand-up comics struggling to “make it big” in the 1970’s L.A. comedy scene. While it’s certainly funny, there’s a lot more going on here than just lols – it may just get you in the feels. I’m Dying Up Here premieres on Stan on June 12.

Younger: At the end of season three, Liza (Sutton Foster) was gearing up to come clean about her real age to her new BFF and co-worker at Millennial Press Kelsey (Hilary Duff). As we head into season four, will Kelsey keep her secret? Or could her betrayal cost Liza her job? Younger hits Stan on June 29.
