Prime Video is closing out the year with a packed December lineup, and one of the biggest additions is a fan-favorite Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Baz Luhrmann’s visually extravagant romance drama The Great Gatsby (2013) will arrive near the end of the month, giving viewers a chance to revisit the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald story in all its lavish glory.
The Great Gatsby gets Prime Video streaming date
Prime Video’s newly announced December slate includes a wide range of films, from Blade and A Cinderella Story to Ready Player One. Among them is The Great Gatsby, which begins streaming on December 30 as part of Prime Video’s year-end refresh (via ComicBook.com).
Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the enigmatic Jay Gatsby, the 2013 adaptation became one of the most iconic romantic dramas of the decade due to its striking production design, bold soundtrack, and Luhrmann’s signature theatrical style. The film earned over $353 million worldwide and won Oscars for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.
The Great Gatsby retells Fitzgerald’s iconic 1925 novel, following millionaire Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) through the eyes of his neighbor, Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire). As Nick reflects on his time in New York during the summer of 1922, he unravels the mystery surrounding Gatsby’s lavish parties, his enduring love for Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan), and the brutal social divisions of the Roaring Twenties.
Furthermore, the ensemble cast features impactful performances from Joel Edgerton as Daisy’s brutish husband, Tom Buchanan, and Isla Fisher as his mistress, Myrtle Wilson. With a modern hip-hop-infused soundtrack executive-produced by Jay-Z, the film creates a unique and immersive experience that continues to amaze viewers.
The film polarized critics, getting both praise and criticism for its performances, soundtrack, and visual flair. However, audiences embraced the adaptation more warmly. As of 2025, it remains Baz Luhrmann’s highest-grossing film after Elvis (2022) and followed by Australia (2008).
