“And Just Like That …” Season 2 (TV-MA) – For the next few Thursdays stretching into August, season two of the “Sex and the City” sequel series, “And Just Like That … ,” will be occupying our television screens. Of course, more drama is headed the ladies’ way, with Charlotte (Kristin Davis) having to deal with qualms about her daughter, Lily, growing up too quickly. A year after Big’s death, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is learning to love again, perhaps with a certain old flame (Aidan Shaw), while Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is still going strong with her partner, Che. But the most shocking dramatic moment of all is the return of Kim Cattrall as fan-favorite Samantha! After being adamant about not wanting to return for any more sequels, Cattrall will be featured in just one scene during the season two finale. (And just like that … she’s back!) The first two episodes premiere June 22. (Max)
Ben Barnes and Salma Hayek star in the episode “Joan Is Awful” from “Black Mirror: Season 6.” (Netflix)
“Black Mirror: Season 6” (TV-MA) – Ah, “Black Mirror,” how deeply you were missed. Four years after the last season of the sci-fi anthology series premiered, fans are finally getting a new season, this time taking viewers to five different mind-bending realities in five separate episodes. One episode, titled “Joan Is Awful,” follows an average woman named Joan who discovers that a major streaming platform has made a TV adaptation of her life … starring Salma Hayek. Another episode – “Demon 79” – centers on a sales assistant who is forced to commit heinous acts to stop disaster from striking. All episodes are available to stream now. (Netflix)
“Wildflower” (R) – Kiernan Shipka (“Chilling Adventure of Sabrina”) leads this new coming-of-age film premiering June 23. Shipka stars as Bea, a senior in high school who’s had a very non-traditional way of growing up. Since she had two disabled parents, Bea often switched between the “daughter” role and the “caretaker” role, and she grapples with the fact that she must make plans for her future with her parents’ well-being in the back of her mind. It’s ultimately up to her to find the right balance in her life with her family before she walks across that graduation stage. Alexandra Daddario (“The White Lotus”) and Jacki Weaver (“Yellowstone”) also co-star in the film. (Hulu)
“I’m a Virgo” (TV-14) – From Boots Riley, the creator of the surrealist film “Sorry to Bother You,” comes a new comedy TV series with just as much absurdity as his previous project. Jharrel Jerome (“When They See Us”) plays Cootie, a 13-foot, 19-year-old man who was raised by his aunt (Carmen Ejogo) and uncle (Mike Epps) in Oakland, California. Because of his gigantic stature, Cootie was kept from the outside world. But when he gets discovered by a group of teenage activists, Cootie becomes the world’s latest obsession – and he finally gets to experience what it feels like to live an unsheltered life. All seven episodes of “I’m a Virgo” drop June 23. (Prime Video)
