Unfortunately, it's a little trickier for everyone else to watch Earwig and the Witch. That's because it hasn't had a release date announced for the UK  It'll almost certainly turn up in the next few weeks - and it's available to buy in March or April.

As the first Studio Ghibli movie in years, there's a lot of anticipation behind Earwig and the Witch (particularly because it's directed by Gorō Miyazaki, son of legendary Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki). Based on the novel of the same name by Dianna Wynne Jones, it tells the tale of a ten year-old orphan who's whisked away to a brand-new life... with a witch. The English dub stars Richard E. Grant, Vanessa Marshall, Taylor Paige Henderson, Dan Stevens, and Kasey Musgraves.

Stream Earwig and the Witch everywhere else

It's very much a case of 'coming soon'. But as we saw with Wonder Woman 1984 recently, we expect online rentals to come online within the next couple of weeks so you can watch Earwig and the Witch online too. The likes of Amazon and Rakuten are the most likely stores to get it based on past form. Many HBO Max shows often go to Sky TV and Now TV, but you might be waiting a bit longer for a movie that's only just hit cinemas in the US.
