Riverdale alum Madelaine Petsch stars in the new horror movie, The Strangers: Chapter 1, which is the third film in The Strangers film series. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this flick!

The Strangers: Chapter 1 follows a young couple whose roadtrip takes a turn when their car breaks down in a creepy small town. While staying the night in a remote cabin, the couple is terrorized by three psychopathic masked strangers.

So, where can you watch The Strangers: Chapter 1? Is it on Netflix? What about Max?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1:

As of now, the only way to watch The Strangers: Chapter 1 is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, May 17. 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 THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1 BE ON STREAMING? WILL THE STRANGERS: CHAPTER 1 BE ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO?

UPDATE 6/14/24: The Strangers: Chapter 1 became available on digital platforms on Friday, June 7.


While a digital release date has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate on when The Strangers: Chapter 1 will become available to rent or purchase based on a previous movie distributed by Lionsgate. Ordinary Angels joined digital on March 26 — about four weeks after its theatrical debut. If The Strangers: Chapter 1 follows the same trajectory, you may be able to watch from the comfort of your home by mid-June 2024.

Plus, it’s possible that The Strangers: Chapter 1 will eventually come to Peacock due to a deal that gives the streamer access to all Lionsgate theatrical releases during its Pay 2 window beginning in 2024.
