Leigh Whannell delivers a new take on a classic Universal Monster as Wolf Man releases and becomes available to watch. The 2025 horror movie brings back an icon of the monster genre with Christopher Abbott playing the тιтular character. The film comes from Whannell after he already successfully revamped a Universal Monster with Blumhouse’s help in 2020’s The Invisible Man. The new version of Wolf Man focuses on a family as the husband/father begins to transform into a new being after an animal attack.
Christopher Abbott joins a long list of actors who have portrayed a version of Wolf Man on the big screen, as he takes on the role after Ryan Gosling dropped out. Universal and Blumhouse elected to give Wolf Man a theatrical release to give audiences a chance to see the movie in theaters before it becomes available to watch at home on streaming and digital. This leaves viewers with a choice to make regarding how, when, and where they want to watch 2025’s Wolf Man. All the necessary info needed to make that decision is below.

When Will Wolf Man Release On Streaming?
Wolf Man Will Stream On Peacock
Universal has not confirmed when Wolf Man will be released on streaming. It is known that the film will stream on Peacock at the appropriate time since the streaming service is owned by Universal.
Peacock’s basic subscription plan costs $7.99 a month, while Peacock Premium costs $13.99 monthly.
The studio’s schedule for streaming releases varies from film to film, even with its horror тιтles. Last year, Lisa Frankenstein went to streaming after 49 days, while Speak No Evil waited 84 days and Abigail and Night Swim both took 91 days. Universal’s average projects that Wolf Man should start streaming on Peacock in April 2025.
When Will Wolf Man Release On Digital?
A Digital Release Will Come Quicker
The earliest option to watch Wolf Man at home will come through its digital release. Universal typically makes its movies available to buy or rent on PVOD after roughly 27 days, but the gap for horror films is only 18 days. This would mean that Wolf Man‘s digital release should come in February 2025, with the exact timing potentially depending on the film’s box office performance. That would still give Wolf Man a few weeks to find business in theaters before providing a digital/streaming option to consumers.
