Every month, TV Time provides Business Insider with the five most anticipated new TV shows.
June includes Hulu's "Love, Victor" and HBO's "Perry Mason."

"Love, Victor," Hulu's anticipated TV spinoff of the movie "Love, Simon," debuts this month after initially being set for Disney Plus.

Variety reported in February that Disney felt some issues portrayed in the series, such as alcohol use, were inappropriate for Disney Plus, which is focused on family-friendly content.
