Yorgos Lanthimos’s anticipated Bugonia is here in the theatres now, and fans are already eager to know when they can expect to see the movie at their homes. Of course, it is too early to have an exact digital or streaming release date, but the history of the studio and distributors could provide a clue about when the film may finally be accessible at home.
When will Bugonia get its digital release date?
Bugonia premiered on October 31, 2025, in theatres after its initial world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 28, 2025. Since it is distributed by Universal Pictures, it could follow the same schedule as other Universal releases.
Universal films typically release on digital quite quickly. Some of the previous titles were released within 17 to 18 days. This means that Bugonia could be available for rent or purchase by the end of November.
But this depends heavily on the film’s performance. As this is an acclaimed title that should also work well in theatres, a more realistic timeline would be 30-45 days. This means that the film should be up for digital purchase or rent by the first half of December.
The streaming release may take longer.
When will Bugonia begin streaming on Peacock?
As a film from Universal, Bugonia will stream on Peacock first. It will then go to Prime Video four months later. The typical streaming release for Universal films varies from 60 to 90 days. This means that Bugonia could go to streaming in January or February 2026.
Of course, this too will depend heavily on how the film performs over its theatrical run.
Either way, fans who want to catch the acclaimed Yorgos Lanthimos film still have the option to watch it in theatres as it is currently playing across the United States.
The official digital and streaming release dates for Bugonia will be revealed soon after the theatrical run.
