When is Resident Evil on streaming? Speculation on when it could hit …

The Resident Evil movie will be shuffling its way into theaters this week, all bloodied and bitey, but you might already be wondering when it's going to land on streaming services. It's here that we advise you to take a breath, reserve your ammo, and wait a while, because there’s no streaming date in sight just yet. Having said that, with the hype well and truly at breaking point and the initial reactions to Zach Cregger's trip into Raccoon City being incredibly positive, we're going to weigh in on just when and where Resident Evil might appear when it does come to streaming.

Cregger's new take on the beloved survival horror franchise follows Bryan (Weapons familiar, Austin Abrams), a hospital courier on a delivery from hell that will send him to the city where the locals are about to get real hungry. In no time at all, he's checking every drawer for green herbs, scared to turn every corner, and trying not to get nibbled on through the whole process. Good luck with that.

There's a lot to consider when it comes to Resident Evil's arrival on streaming, not simply for where it might turn up, but how long before it makes an appearance. Perhaps the biggest factor is its success in theaters, which could give us plenty of time to gather a new stack of cushions to hide behind before watching it from the comfort of our own homes. cricket-ipl.in

Resident Evil streaming release date speculation

Resident Evil will be making its blood-and-guts-soaked debut in theaters on September 18, so if you want to see it as soon as possible, you'll have to watch it while publicly screaming in terror just like the rest of us. Still, the movie's success could leave you waiting longer to see it anywhere else.

Its worth noting that after Weapons – which hit theaters on August 8 – became the mega hit that it was, Cregger's movie made it onto streaming on October 24, catching fans at the peak of spooky season. In the case of Resident Evil, the gap is a little too tight to make it in time for Halloween, so it might arrive closer to the end of the year, or even early January 2027. Thankfully, we'll be better prepared to know exactly where it'll pop up.

Following Netflix and Sony's licensing deal earlier this year, the streaming service will be the first port of call for every Sony Pictures project after theatrical release. As a result, you can have your gun (or your remote) trained on the big red N as the place to watch it in the future. The average time from big screen to small screen with this venture is around 120 days, but depending on the movie’s success (Deadline reports it could reach $50 million on its opening weekend), that could be a little longer.

Should you want to spend more time with filmic frights set in the beloved franchise's world, six Resident Evil movies composed of animated and live-action entries are available to watch on Netflix right now. The Milla Jovovich-led films Resident Evil: Extinction, Resident Evil: Afterlife, and Resident Evil: Retribution are all available to stream.

You can also watch the animated movies Resident Evil: Damnation and Resident Evil: Vendetta, plus the animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, which all focus on the core characters of the video game franchise. Then there's the short-lived Netflix live-action Resident Evil series, but the less said about that, the better.

All that should tide you over until Cregger's attempt lands on streaming. Honestly, if you manage to watch them all by then, you deserve your own STARS badge. As mentioned, Resident Evil arrives in theatres on September 18.

Good news for Westeros fans: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 2 will be hitting our screens very soon.

That's according to HBO boss Casey Bloys, who confirmed at the Emmys that we'll be seeing season 2 in the next eligibility window, which ends on May 31, 2027.

"For next year, we've got a new season of The Pitt, new season of The Gilded Age, White Lotus, new season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, new season of I Love L.A., new season of Rooster," he told Deadline. "We've got a lot of pretty big both comedy and drama. And actually, I like to point out with The Pitt, one of the great things they do is it comes back in January, so we go into next season with the drama frontrunner in The Pitt. Limited series, we've got The Trial of Louise Woodward."

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1 aired in January 2026, so we're looking at a wait of around a year. That's a refreshingly quick turnaround, considering the two year wait between seasons of House of the Dragon.

The show is based on George R.R. Martin's novellas about hedge knight Dunk and his squire Egg, of which there are three – though another seems to be in the works.

"I'd love to expand it from three seasons to maybe four or five. Book four, which George is working on, takes place in a very cool location. And five is the last story point of Egg as a boy," showrunner Ira Parker has shared. "So it's a very natural ending place for us to take a break and come back when Dexter is older. So then we can do Egg the Prince, do some politics, do some fun stuff in Summerhall and King's Landing, and get a different vibe where they're not on the road all the time."
