‘The Boys’ Season 4
Starts streaming: June 13
After a two-year break, this over-the-top action series returns for a fourth season of gleefully vulgar, wickedly satirical riffs on the superhero genre. Based on a comic book franchise created by the writer Garth Ennis and the artist Darick Robertson, “The Boys” is ostensibly about the bitter rivalry between a popular, powerful, government-backed superteam and a band of cynical vigilantes. But following the lead of the Ennis-Robertson source material, the show’s writer-producer Eric Kripke has built this premise into a riotous commentary about the dangers of charismatic leaders. In Season 4, the roguish antihero Bill Butcher (Karl Urban) has to resort to drastic measures to thwart the political ambitions of the authoritarian supe Homelander (Antony Starr), even if he and his cohorts have to splatter the city with superhero blood.

‘Orphan Black: Echoes’ Season 1
Starts streaming: June 23
Set 37 years after the events in the cult favorite science-fiction TV series “Orphan Black,” this spinoff introduces an entirely new heroine, with a new mystery to unravel about the nature of her existence. Krysten Ritter plays Lucy, an amnesiac who escapes from a medical facility and builds a new life off the grid — until an accident draws unwanted attention, sending her back on the run. Then she crosses paths with a teenager, Jules (Amanda Fix), who looks remarkably familiar. Gradually, Lucy begins to piece together her past and the bizarre connection she shares with a handful of other women. A few surprise “Orphan Black” characters return for “Echoes,” as Lucy and Jules start a dangerous investigation into a secret science project gone tragically wrong.
