Quentin Tarantino’s Oscar-Winning Classic Is Finally Hitting Netflix
Quentin Tarantino’s Oscar-winning cult classic Pulp Fiction is coming to Netflix, inviting a new generation to dive into the darkly funny, pop culture–shaping crime saga that redefined modern cinema.
Good news for anyone who has been waiting to stream 'Pulp Fiction' without paying for yet another rental: Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning classic is headed to Netflix.
Per What's on Netflix, the film lands on the platform December 1, 2025. So yes, the double Royale-with-cheese of hitman banter and twist-contest footwork is about to be one click away.
Quick refresher: 'Pulp Fiction' is Tarantino's darkly funny crime drama that originally hit theaters on October 14, 1994. It picked up raves from critics and audiences, then turned into a pop-culture fixture over the last three decades. It also made serious money: according to Box Office Mojo, it opened to $9.3 million, went on to $107 million domestic, and $213 million worldwide, all on a reported $8 million budget. Not bad for something this weird and talky.

The movie turned 30 in 2024, which prompted a little victory lap. Samuel L. Jackson marked the anniversary on Instagram with throwback photos and a note about the first time he felt the audience getting swept up in it. If you were looking for the one quote that sums up how the people who made it feel about the movie, it is this:
'PULP FICTION is 30! It debuted in theaters on this day in 1994, and I'lI always remember the audience reaction. I knew this film was something special after that... AND 30 YEARS LATER, IT STILL IS.'
John Travolta also reflected on what the gig meant to him in a 2024 chat with Variety. Before 'Pulp Fiction,' his last big run was the 'Look Who's Talking' movies, and he called Tarantino's offer an upper-echelon opportunity. He said Tarantino was a longtime fan who specifically wanted to work with him, and he credits 'Pulp Fiction' with giving him the second-chance boost that reshaped his career.
Bottom line: if you have never seen it or you just want to revisit the adrenaline shot, the briefcase glow, and that diner standoff, 'Pulp Fiction' hits Netflix on December 1, 2025.
