Is ‘Spoiler Alert’ Streaming on HBO Max or Netflix?

Jim Parsons is trading in his comedic Big Bang Theory shoes for something a little less Sheldon and a little more romantic in the new drama Spoiler Alert.

Based on the memoir Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies, the movie follows the final year of Kit Cowan’s (Ben Aldridge) life after learning of his terminal cancer diagnosis. It’s told through the eyes of his partner of 14 years, Michael (Parsons).

For everything we know about this movie — which is described in the trailer as “less of a rom-com and more of a love story” — here’s how, when and where you can watch Spoiler Alert:

WHERE TO WATCH SPOILER ALERT:

As of now, the only way to watch Spoiler Alert is to head out to a movie theater when it premieres on Friday, Dec. 2. You can find a local showing on Fandango. In the meantime, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or buy on digital platforms like Vudu, Amazon, Google Play or iTunes.

WHEN WILL SPOILER ALERT BE ON STREAMING?

A streaming release date for Spoiler Alert has not yet been announced. However, seeing as it’s a Focus Features film and its parent company is NBCUniversal, it’s possible that it will end up on Peacock at some point.

As for a digital release date, which also has not been announced, we can make an estimate based on a previous Focus Features film. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris was released in theaters on July 15 and came to digital on Aug. 2. If Spoiler Alert follows the same time pattern, it could be available to purchase on digital by late December or early January. Although the film may follow what most companies have been doing and not debut on digital until the 45-day theatrical window is up.

WILL SPOILER ALERT BE ON HBO MAX?

No, Spoiler Alert will not be on HBO Max because it’s not a Warner Bros. Movie. In the past, the company released its movies on HBO Max and in theaters at the same time. However, they have since stopped, and now allow a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the streaming release.

WILL SPOILER ALERT BE ON NETFLIX?

No, Spoiler Alert will not be streaming on Netflix. But it is entirely possible that it could be in the future. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a theater or wait for it to become available on digital.
