'Predator: Badlands' streaming date revealed: Here's when you can watch it on Hulu and Disney+

Trying to figure out when you can stream "Predator: Badlands" at home? That's understandable. The latest installment in the Predator franchise was one of the best blockbusters of the fall last year. There's a simple reason for this: it's good.

Despite originally raising eyebrows for its tame PG-13 rating, the latest installment in the Predator franchise has managed to impress fans and critics alike. Tom's Guide senior writer Alix Blackburn praised it for being "a bold departure from what we’ve seen before," and I lifted the movie up as proof that legacy sequels don't have to suck (looking at you, "Tron Ares"). On Rotten Tomatoes, "Predator: Badlands" has scored an 86% "fresh" rating from critics and a truly impressive 95% from audiences.

So maybe you missed this movie in theaters, and you want to see what the hype is all about. Maybe you saw it in the cinema and can't wait to watch it again. Either way, I've got you covered. Here's when you'll be able to stream "Predator: Badlands" at home on Hulu and Disney+, and where you can buy or rent it digitally to watch it at home right now.

Where can you stream 'Predator: Badlands'

You'll be able to stream "Predator: Badlands" on Hulu and Disney+ starting on Feb. 12. Until then, you can buy or rent it digitally from Amazon, Apple and other digital storefronts.

When can you buy or rent 'Predator: Badlands'?

You can buy or rent "Predator: Badlands" on premium video-on-demand (PVOD) services such as Amazon, Apple or Fandango at Home and start watching. If you prefer physical media, you can buy the movie on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD right now on Amazon as well.

When can you stream 'Predator: Badlands' on Hulu and Disney Plus?

"Predator: Badlands" will be available to stream on Hulu and Disney+ starting Feb. 12, 2026. I originally guessed it was coming on Feb. 10, so I'm going to chalk that up as getting close enough to the right answer.

What is 'Predator: Badlands' about?

If you haven't seen "Predator: Badlands" yet, here's the rundown. The movie centers on Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a Yautja who is considered a runt by his people, including his father, the Yautja clan leader Njohrr (Reuben de Jong). This has led Dek to be an outcast, with only his brother, Kwei (Mike Homik), still by his side.

However, their brotherly bond is shattered when Njohrr arrives at Kwei's ship, demanding that the older brother kill his runt sibling. Kwei refuses and sacrifices himself to protect Dek, sending the ship into space.

But Dek isn't out of the woods yet, because the ship has been programmed to fly to Genna, known to the Yautja as the "death planet." There, Dek will have become the apex predator on the planet, and only killing the deadly Kalisk will give him a chance at proving to his clan that he's a worthy Yautja.

Lucky for him, he has some help in the form of Tessa (Elle Fanning), a Weyland-Yutani synthetic humanoid who is part of a mission from the Earth-based corporation. Unlucky for Dek, Tessa has a sister, Thia (also Elle Fanning), and she's less friendly.
