The Toxic Avenger Digital And Streaming Release Date — Fans Won't Have To Wait Long
The Toxic Avenger is finally making its way to living rooms, and fans want to know exactly when they can stream it.
If you missed The Toxic Avenger in theaters or you just want to relive the gooey chaos at home, here is the deal on when you can actually watch it on your couch. After years of bouncing around without a distributor, the movie finally hit theaters as an unrated release on August 29, 2025, and body horror fans ate it up. Now we have a clearer picture of the home rollout.
Quick background: Cineverse picked up distribution in January 2025. They also own Screambox, which matters for the streaming window. Here is how the timing shakes out based on their usual playbook and what has been reported so far.
- Digital rental (PVOD): September 30, 2025 on major stores like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. That lands right in the typical 17–45 day post-theatrical window, depending on box office performance and reviews.
- Blu-ray: October 28, 2025 is the expected date if you want a disc on your shelf.
- Streaming: Early January 2026 is the target for Screambox, Cineverse's own service. Their titles usually take about 3–4 months after theatrical to hit streaming, and this one looks on track for just after the holidays.
If you are new to this particular brand of glorious sludge: this is a reboot of the 1980s cult classic.
The story follows Winston, a put-upon janitor who turns into a mutated vigilante after a freak accident. He is hideous, he is powerful, and he decides to aim all that radioactively enhanced muscle at the local corruption problem, while wrestling with his own mess of a life.
It is a superhero movie by way of a midnight monster show: grimy, punchy, and very much for genre fans.
Peter Dinklage and Jacob Tremblay lead the cast, which is part of why this new version has real curiosity around it. The theatrical cut being unrated is a tell, too: the film is not shy about its body horror credentials, which explains the strong word of mouth among that crowd.
Bottom line: rent it at the end of September, grab the Blu-ray before Halloween, and expect to stream it on Screambox right after New Year.
