It won’t be long until Carmen — a gritty drama starring Melissa Barrera and Paul Mescal — officially hits theaters. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch the new flick!

After the brutal murder of her mother, Carmen (Barrera) is forced to escape the Mexican desert, putting her on a trek toward Los Angeles with Aidan — a marine with PTSD whom she meets after illegally crossing the border into the United States. Meanwhile, the two, who escaped a deadly standoff with a volunteer border guard, eventually fall in love.

So how can you watch Carmen? Will it be on Netflix? What about HBO Max?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH CARMEN:

UPDATE 7/10/23: Carmen will officially become available to rent or purchase on digital digital platforms such as Amazon, Vudu, Apple and YouTube as well as release on Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday, July 11.

WILL CARMEN BE ON NETFLIX?

Yes, Carmen will eventually be on Netflix as a result of a deal inked between the streaming platform and the movie’s distributor, Sony Pictures. The deal gives the streamer U.S. rights to all the company’s theatrical films starting in 2022.

While a streaming release date has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate based on another recent Sony film. The Woman King was released in theaters on Sept. 16, 2022, before it came to Netflix on Feb. 16, 2023 — around five months after it debuted. If Carmen follows the same pattern, we could be watching from the comfort of our homes by late September 2023.

However, a digital release date should arrive much sooner. The Storm Reid-led thriller Missing was released in theaters on Jan. 20 before becoming available to purchase or rent on March 7 — about 45 days after its debut. By that logic, Carmen should come to digital by early June 2023.

WILL CARMEN BE ON HBO MAX?

No, Carmen will not be HBO Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a movie theater or wait for it to become available to stream on Netflix.
