As the first Despicable Me movie in seven years, Despicable Me 4 promises more adventure, more minions and more Gru. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this animated flick!

Featuring voiceovers from Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell, Despicable Me 4 follows former supervillain Gru as he and his wife Lucy welcome a new baby and settle down for a peaceful life, which is ultimately disturbed when a vengeful Maxime Le Mal escapes prison.

Sofia Vergara, Joey King and Miranda Cosgrove also lend their voices to the movie.

So, will Despicable Me 4 be on Netflix? What about Peacock?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH DESPICABLE ME 4:

As of now, the only way to watch Despicable Me 4 is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Wednesday, July 3. 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, or becomes available to stream on Peacock. Read on for more information.

WHEN WILL DESPICABLE ME 4 BE ON STREAMING? WILL DESPICABLE ME 4 BE ON PEACOCK?

Despicable Me 4 will come to Peacock for the first four months of the pay TV window, then will go to Netflix for the next 10 months, before returning to Peacock for the final four.

Kung Fu Panda 4, another Universal film, began streaming on Peacock on June 21 — nearly four months after premiering in theaters. If Despicable Me 4 follows the same trajectory, it could be available to stream on the platform by late October or early November 2024. However, other films like Cocaine Bear only took about 45 days before they dropped on Peacock, so it’s best to take this estimate with a grain of salt.

WILL DESPICABLE ME 4 BE ON NETFLIX?

Yes, Despicable Me 4 will eventually be on Netflix. While a release date has not yet been announced, the movie will join the platform four months after it premieres on Peacock. It will stream on Netflix for 10 months, before going to back to Peacock for the remaining four months of the pay TV window.

If Despicable Me 4 follows the same pattern as Kung Fu Panda 4, it could land on Netflix by early March 2025.
