Australian streaming services are offering a diverse lineup this June, from zombie thrillers to romantic comedies and gripping dramas. Highlights include Zak Hilditch's zombie film 'We Bury the Dead,' starring Daisy Ridley, and the Jennifer Lopez-led 'Office Romance' on Netflix.
'We Bury the Dead' follows Ava Newman (Daisy Ridley), an American who travels to a quarantined Tasmania after a government experiment accidentally creates a zombie outbreak. The film explores how people adapt to catastrophic circumstances, offering a solid genre piece despite not being groundbreaking.
Netflix's 'Office Romance' features Jennifer Lopez as an airline CEO enforcing a strict anti-fraternisation policy, which complicates her relationship with a new employee played by Brett Goldstein. The film's trailer suggests a cheesy, algorithm-friendly script likely to top Netflix charts.
Stan premieres 'Missing You,' an eight-part series based on Harlan Coben's novel, starring Sam Worthington as a man serving life for killing his son who receives evidence the child may still be alive. The series is described as a breakneck prison break adventure.
Other notable releases include the Australian martial arts drama 'Beast' on Stan, the murder mystery 'The Correspondent' on ABC, and the Melbourne-set drama 'The Last Shoe' on SBS. Honourable mentions span from 'Wicked: For Good' (June 25) to 'Gladiator II' (June 27) on various platforms.
