Until Dawn Movie Is Coming to Netflix First—Here’s When You Can Stream It

by

The Until Dawn film is transforming one of the top PlayStation games from recent years onto the cinema screen – and here’s where you can stream it once it becomes available.

The recently released horror movie by David F. Sandberg (known for “Lights Out” and “Shazam” series) doesn’t follow the exact storyline of the game. Unlike popular belief, it doesn’t take place at the Washington Lodge, and Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, or other usual suspects are not part of the cast (with Peter Stormare being an exception as Dr Hill).

Rather than continuing the story with familiar faces, it introduces a fresh set of characters. A year after her sister vanishes, Clover and her companions embark on a quest to uncover the truth – a journey that takes them to a secluded valley and an apparently deserted house, ensnaring them in a lethal time loop.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t wait for the upcoming film that has only one escape route: survival until dawn. It hits the big screen this weekend, and if you’re patient, you’ll eventually be able to catch it on streaming platforms.

How to watch Until Dawn now

Until Dawn will be exclusively available in cinemas from April 25, 2025.

Following closely in the footsteps of their critically acclaimed and record-breaking vampire film, Sinners, comes my anticipation for another masterpiece from Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan. The buzz surrounding this movie has been deafening (it’s one of the best-reviewed films of the decade), so I have high expectations for its box office performance in its second week.

For the game Until Dawn, attracting its audience might pose a challenge since some people could be preoccupied with watching Sinners. However, it’s crucial that it resonates with those who have played it before, as demonstrated by Minecraft’s massive success in engaging its fanbase.

Initially, the trailer for this movie didn’t get great reviews because it differed significantly from the original game. However, keep in mind that a Minecraft Movie also received mixed reactions following its initial trailer. So, there’s a chance that it might still be successful once it hits theaters.

To FILMHOUNDS, Sandberg explained that a direct translation of the game into a film might not capture “the incredible greatness of the game.

He mentioned that Gary Dauberman and Blair Butler didn’t simply replicate what was already done; instead, they broadened the universe’s scope. This approach is akin to creating a sequel or it’s more like a continuation of Until Dawn rather than the original Until Dawn.

Where to stream Until Dawn

Until Dawn will eventually be available to stream on Netflix in the US.

This outcome is due to Sony’s partnership with a streaming platform. In 2021, the studio reached an agreement with Netflix, which gives the streaming service exclusive U.S. rights to Sony’s theatrical releases once they have been screened in movie theaters.

According to Netflix, under this agreement, they will secure the initial streaming rights for SPE films after their cinema and home media release periods have ended.

After the thrilling movie “Until Dawn” leaves theaters, you’ll find it streaming on video-on-demand platforms such as Amazon Prime, where you can either purchase or rent it digitally. If you prefer to stream it using your subscription, you’ll be able to catch it first on Netflix!

When will Until Dawn be on Netflix?

While unconfirmed, Until Dawn will likely be available to stream on Netflix by August 2025.

The release schedules of Sony movies provide some insight. For instance, Madame Web was available on Netflix in just 3 months, whereas it took Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 130 days to reach the streaming platform.

The film’s success at the box office was crucial, which is why Madame Web ended up on Netflix three months later. So, stay tuned!

When will Until Dawn be on digital?

Until Dawn could be available on digital as early as late May, if not early June 2025.

Sony has yet to reveal the digital release date for their film, but you might be able to gauge a rough idea by looking at similar films from the studio. For instance, Heart Eyes premiered in cinemas on February 7 and became available digitally on March 4, while Kraven the Hunter followed digital release about 32 days after its cinema debut.

If the movie “Until Dawn” does exceptionally well at the theater, there’s a chance it might be shown for a while yet. So, make sure to check for updates on an official extension.
