has set its June 2026 lineup, putting the fifth and final season of at the center of a month that also brings the premiere of The Listeners and the final episode of Amadeus on Friday, June 5, 2026.

The network said new episodes of Raising Kanan will stream in the U.S. weekly on Fridays, while The Listeners will debut the same day and continue releasing episodes throughout June. Amadeus will also be available in the U.S. only on the Starz app and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms, with its finale landing on Friday, June 5. The month also includes Dreams, which will stream exclusively on the Starz app and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.

For Raising Kanan, the June rollout marks the end of a run that has tracked Kanan Stark across four previous seasons. The finale month matters because it gives the series a fixed endpoint rather than another open-ended renewal cycle, and because the streaming release keeps the show anchored in a weekly cadence just as viewers are reaching the end of the story.

The question now is not whether the schedule is full, but whether the final stretch of Raising Kanan and the end of Amadeus can hold the audience long enough to make those exits feel like events rather than deadlines.
