Is ‘Inspector Sun’ Streaming on Netflix or HBO Max?

Ronny Chieng is voicing the titular character in the new animated flick, Inspector Sun — which is coming to theaters this week.

Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new movie!

After being fired from his job, Inspector Sun — a “world famous detective” — decides to take a well-deserved vacation. But when things soon go awry, he must jump back on the case and find a suspect.

So, where can you watch Inspector Sun? Is it on Prime Video? What about Netflix?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH INSPECTOR SUN:

As of now, the only way to watch Inspector Sun is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Oct. 27. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon.

WHEN WILL INSPECTOR SUN BE STREAMING? WILL INSPECTOR SUN BE ON PRIME VIDEO?

While a digital release date for Inspector Sun has not yet been announced, most movies typically come to digital platforms like Prime Video around 45 days after they’re released in theaters. If Inspector Sun follows the same trajectory, we could be watching it from the comfort of our living rooms by mid-December 2023.

WILL INSPECTOR SUN BE ON HBO MAX?

No, Inspector Sun will not be on Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. The platform — previously known as HBO Max — also no longer does direct-to-streaming releases. Instead, they’ve implemented a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the Max release.

WILL INSPECTOR SUN BE ON NETFLIX?

No, Inspector Sun will not be on Netflix — at least not any time soon. While it’s possible the film may come to the streamer at some point in the future, you’ll just have to head out to a movie theater or wait for it to become available on digital platforms in the meantime.
