Him Digital and Streaming Release Date Revealed: Here’s When You Can Watch at Home
Fresh off its theatrical debut, Jordan Peele-produced sports horror Him has fans asking the big question: when can you stream it? We break down the most likely digital and streaming timeline based on recent studio rollouts.
Jordan Peele-produced sports horror flick 'Him' just landed in theaters, and yes, I know what you really want to know: when can you watch it at home without paying for popcorn that costs as much as a car wash? Here’s the lay of the land, based on how Universal usually rolls these things out.
Digital release: sooner rather than later
'Him' opened on September 19, 2025. Universal has a habit of flipping its movies to digital purchase and rental pretty fast — think two to three weeks after the theatrical launch, especially if they want to keep the buzz going. If this follows the typical playbook, you’re looking at early October. The likeliest drop dates: Tuesday, October 7 or Tuesday, October 14. Nothing official yet, but that window is the safe bet.
Streaming: Peacock first, then a handoff
This is a Universal title, which means it heads to Peacock before anywhere else. Historically, that shift to streaming happens around 60–90 days after theaters. Translation: expect it on Peacock in December 2025 or January 2026. After that first window, it usually migrates to Prime Video a few months later — roughly four months after the Peacock run begins — putting Prime in the April or May 2026 zone.
- Digital purchase/rent: likely October 7 or October 14, 2025
- Streaming on Peacock: December 2025 or January 2026
- Streaming on Prime Video: April or May 2026
Inside baseball note: Universal has leaned into quick digital turnarounds (often on a Tuesday) and a Peacock-first pipeline. Actual dates can shift based on performance, but the pattern is pretty consistent.
What 'Him' is about (and why it’s not your standard sports movie)
The setup mixes gridiron ambition with psychological dread. A rising quarterback gets a lifeline from his hero… and then things get weird. If you want the flavor, here’s the official synopsis:
'Cameron Cade is a rising quarterback who suffers a potentially career-ending injury after being attacked by an unhinged fan. Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White, offers to train him at an isolated compound. However, as the training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma turns into something darker, sending Cam down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.'
The cast includes Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, Julia Fox, and Tim Heidecker. Produced by Jordan Peele, distributed by Universal. 'Him' is in theaters now, with at-home options coming up fast if the usual schedule holds.
