So, where can you watch Beau Is Afraid? Is it on HBO Max? What about Netflix?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH BEAU IS AFRAID:

UPDATE 6/6/23: Beau is Afraid will officially become available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Amazon, Vudu, YouTube or Apple on Tuesday, June 13. Plus, it will be available to purchase on Blu-ray and DVD on July 11.

Eventually, Beau Is Afraid will be making its way to Showtime, where most A24 movies stream after they migrate out of the VOD window. This process generally happens 8 or so months after a movie opens theatrically, so look for Beau Is Afraid to debut on Showtime in December 2023 or thereabouts.

WILL BEAU IS AFRAID BE ON HBO MAX?

No, Beau Is Afraid will not be on HBO Max since it is not a Warner Bros. movie. Last year, the company dropped its movies on the streamer the same day they premiered in theaters. However, they have since stopped and like many others, started allowing a 45-day window between the theatrical debut and the streaming release.

WILL BEAU IS AFRAID BE ON NETFLIX?

No, Beau Is Afraid will not be on Netflix. However, it is possible that it will make it to the streaming giant eventually seeing as it’s home to other A24 movies like Uncut Gems. Until then, you’ll just have to head out to theaters or wait until it becomes available on digital.
