The long-awaited sequel to Twister is here, and there are different options for where to watch Twisters. 28 years after the original disaster movie starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt became a massive $495 million success, the franchise continues with a new installment. Twisters‘ cast is headlined by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell, with Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, David Corenswet, and others also appearing. The film follows two groups of storm chasers in Oklahoma as they band together under extreme duress.

Given the box office success of the original movie, the Twister sequel was greenlit with the understanding that it would receive a theatrical release. Directed by Minari‘s Lee Isaac Chung, the massive blockbuster headlined by rising stars in Hollywood is betting on substantial interest. Twisters‘ good reviews help tell audiences that the movie is worth watching. But, theatrical is just part of the equation nowadays, as streaming and digital releases also open up movies to different viewers. It’s up to each individual to decide where to watch Twisters then.

When Will Twisters Release On Streaming?

Twisters Will Stream On Peacock

Universal has yet to announce an official streaming release date for Twisters, but the movie is expected to stream on Peacock at the appropriate time. Since NBCUniversal owns Peacock, the streaming service is the home to all new Universal movies. While no confirmed release date has come, Universal’s history creates a way to project when this will happen for each film. The studio releases new movies on Peacock after roughly 90 days on average. That would indicate that Twisters could be released on Peacock in October 2024 with a similar schedule.

When Will Twisters Release On Digital?

No Date Has Been Announced

The first option for at-home viewings of Twisters will predate the streaming release thanks to the film releasing on digital first. Universal has yet to announce when this will occur, but the studio typically makes its films available on PVOD services after 32 days on average. This would mean Twisters‘ digital release could happen in August 2024. The only way that does not happen is if Twisters becomes a major box office hit and Universal opts to extend the film’s exclusivity in theaters.
