The streaming release date estimate for Anaconda is a big talking point among fans of the franchise. Directed by Tom Gormican, the 2025 action comedy is a meta-reboot of the popular 1997 film of the same name. Now that the movie has arrived in cinemas, many fans are wondering when they can stream it from their homes.
So, here’s what we know so far about Anaconda’s streaming release date estimate, news, and updates.
What is Anaconda’s streaming release date estimate?
Anaconda’s streaming release date is estimated to be sometime between March and April 2026. This is based on Sony Pictures Releasing’s previous release pattern.
Sony Pictures Releasing movies generally release in two phases. First, they land on PVOD sites like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video, where viewers can buy or rent them. However, it takes about 45-60 days after a film’s theatrical release to hit digital streaming sites.
Anaconda premiered in theaters on December 25, 2025. So, based on that window, it is reasonable to expect it to arrive anytime on PVOD sites between late January and February 2026. Subsequently, the movie will debut on streaming sites, which in this case will be Netflix.
However, it takes even longer to arrive on the subscription-based sites, sometimes taking more than 3-4 months from its theatrical release date. Hence, it can be estimated that the movie could premiere on Netflix in March or April 2026 at the earliest.
However, this is just an estimate, and the actual release date may vary based on the studio’s decision.

In a surprising twist, the final trailer for the movie revealed that the reboot will feature Ice Cube as himself. Notably, he appeared in the original movies as Danny Rich, one of the survivors in the first movie.
The meta-reboot centers upon Doug, Griff, Kenny, and Claire, four friends experiencing midlife crises. They decide to travel to the Amazon and make an indie-style reboot of their favorite 1997 movie, Anaconda. However, things take a turn when they accidentally kill a trained snake. As a last resort to fulfill their dream of making the movie, the four venture into the jungle to find a replacement, leading to their encounter with a real-life, massive anaconda.
The cast of Anaconda features Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior, and Selton Mello, among others.
