In 2023, a comedic horror about an AI doll resembling a young girl became a viral hit. After three years, M3GAN has returned to the cinema – just as wide-eyed and bloodthirsty as before.
In the new instalment of the series, the doll gets a second chance to prove that she’s a trustworthy caregiver, as she was designed to be. When the technology used to build M3GAN is stolen, AMELIA, a humanoid military robot, is brought to life. Self-aware and dangerous, she sets off to kill a certain billionaire. The only one who can stop her is M3GAN, now trapped by scientist Gemma (Allison Williams) in a small robotic doll. After receiving an upgraded body, the android is ready to confront AMELIA.
The cinema is the best place to find out what will happen with M3GAN and the people who once trusted her. However, if you want to know when the film will be released on home media, keep reading this article.
How to watch M3GAN 2.0 now
The movie is available exclusively in cinemas.
In the UK, you can book tickets via Vue, Showcase, Odeon or Cineworld websites.
In the US, tickets are available on AMC Theatres, Fandango or Atom Tickets.
Here’s the trailer for the film:
When could M3GAN 2.0 be released on VOD?
Universal Pictures, which produced M3GAN 2.0, hasn’t yet revealed any information on the horror digital premiere. However, we will try to predict when the movie will be released on VOD platforms, such as Sky Store or Amazon.
Although the first flick about a psycho-doll was a massive hit, M3GAN 2.0 is so far a box office disappointment. At the opening weekend, the movie grossed only $17 million worldwide, which is below the predicted numbers.
The studio’s most successful releases tend to appear on VOD a month and a half to two months after they opened in cinemas. However, if M3GAN 2.0 bombs, Universal may launch it on VOD sooner. For instance, The Fall Guy, the studio’s 2024 flop, arrived on digital platforms just 18 days after premiering in cinemas.
Therefore, M3GAN 2.0 may drop on VOD around 15 July 2025 at the earliest. However, it’s also possible that the digital release may slip – in that scenario, we expect the killer doll horror to be available for rental or purchase in August 2025.
In the UK, M3GAN 2.0 may arrive on VOD a few days or even weeks after the US digital premiere, most likely in summer or autumn 2025.
Universal Pictures
When could M3GAN 2.0 be released on DVD/Blu-ray?
Most of Universal’s movies drop on DVD and Blu-ray a month or two after the digital release. However, there are films that have been released much sooner, such as Despicable Me 4, which appeared in stores after spending only two weeks on VOD platforms.
However, we estimate that in the case of M3GAN 2.0, Universal won’t deviate from the pattern, and the movie will appear in stores in late summer or autumn 2025.
When could M3GAN 2.0 be released on streaming services?
In the US, movies distributed by Universal Pictures, first arrive on Peacock. Based on previous releases, M3GAN 2.0 may become available for streaming approximately one to two months after the DVD premiere.
While it’s hard to predict the exact date, the Peacock release is likely to occur in late autumn or early winter. M3GAN 2.0 would be a perfect film for Halloween viewing, so it may hit streaming shortly before Friday, 31 October 2025.
Other good opportunities to release a film for streaming are American Thanksgiving and Christmas. In that case, M3GAN 2.0 may drop on Peacock around Thursday, 27 November 2025 or Thursday, 25 December 2025.
After spending four months on Peacock, M3GAN 2.0 will move to Netflix, where, according to the deal between the corporations, the movie will spend ten months. After that time, the horror will return to Peacock again.
In the United Kingdom, M3GAN 2.0 will most likely be available on Now, however, there’s no word on when it may happen.
