When is Predator: Badlands on streaming? If you're a fan of the alien big game hunter then the new movie – which, for the first time ever features a Yautja, as the species is now officially known, as the protagonist – is appointment viewing. But perhaps you've been patiently waiting for it to come out on streaming. Well, the big day is almost upon us...

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who revived the aging franchise with the excellent Prey in 2022, Predator: Badlands follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young and outcast Predator who sets out to win his honor by killing an apparently unkillable beast. Along the way he encounters Thia (Elle Fanning), a Weyland-Yutani synthetic and the two form an unlikely alliance.

The new film earned some solid critical buzz on release, with our own Predator: Badlands review saying, "As a blockbuster action-adventure, Badlands kills it."

Predator: Badlands was released into theaters on November 3, 2025. The film performed well on its cinematic tour of duty, pulling in an impressive worldwide total of $184.6 million as of the end of January 2026.

After that, the film was made available to rent and buy digitally on January 6, 2026. A physical release is also forthcoming with the movie coming to DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray on February 17.

But it's the streaming date you're after. We didn't have a lot of data to go on with this one, as the two most recent Predator movies – Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers – were both Hulu originals. We predicted that the new film would be coming to Hulu in March this year, putting a pin in the March 16 date.

Well, we were happily very wrong. It's just been announced that Predator: Badlands is getting its streaming debut on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on February 12, 2026. Yes, that's right, just before Valentine's Day. OK, it's an unconventional choice for date night, but we're here for it!
