After the Hunt Streaming Date: Here’s When You Can Watch It at Home
Fresh off the buzz of Challengers, Luca Guadagnino pivots to a taut crime drama with After the Hunt, uniting Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield for a nerve-tightening story about truth, loyalty, and the price of silence. Roberts leads as a college professor drawn into a moral minefield that threatens to shatter lives.
Luca Guadagnino is trading steamy tennis for faculty politics. His new one, After the Hunt, is a campus-set crime drama led by Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield. It is tense, messy, and very much about truth, loyalty, and what keeping quiet actually costs. If you are trying to figure out when and where you can see it, here is the clean version.
What the movie is about
Roberts plays Alma, a respected college professor who gets pulled into a moral grinder when one of her students accuses a fellow professor of harassment. That colleague is played by Andrew Garfield. Alma is stuck between backing her student and standing by an old friend, and then her own history starts creeping into the picture, making everything even thornier. Ayo Edebiri co-stars, with Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloe Sevigny rounding out the cast. Nora Garrett wrote the script and also serves as an executive producer, and Guadagnino aims this squarely at adult, emotionally complicated territory.
Release timing
After the Hunt opened in select US theaters on October 10, 2025 and expands nationwide on October 17, 2025. Right now it is theatrical only.
So, when does it hit streaming?
This is an Amazon MGM Studios release, which almost always means it lands on Prime Video once the theatrical window wraps. The studio has not announced a streaming date yet. Based on Amazon's recent pattern, you are looking at roughly a six-week window between theaters and streaming. For context: American Fiction premiered in theaters in December 2023 and started streaming in February 2024; Red One went from a November 2024 theatrical bow to streaming in December 2024; Another Simple Favor opened in March 2025 and was on Prime Video by May. If After the Hunt follows that playbook, a Prime Video debut by December 2025 is a solid bet. As always, these windows can shift depending on how the movie performs in theaters.
