Are there any franchises that Sony Pictures isn’t willing to reboot? We still don’t know the answer Anaconda – The new Paul Rudd and Jack Black reboot (even if Sony doesn’t really want anyone to call it that) – is coming to theaters on Christmas, bringing a meta-twist to the Creature Feature franchise. When will the movie be on Netflix? The answer depends on where you live, but if you’re in the United States, you’ll be able to see it in 2026.
The official synopsis reads, “This is not a reboot.” CONTINUING“This is a completely original comedy, inspired by the cinematic ‘classic’ “Anaconda”, featuring Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd), who have been best friends since childhood and always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie. When a midlife crisis inspires them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to begin filming. But things get real when an actual giant The anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic film set into a deadly situation.”
Directed by Tom Gormican, who also wrote the screenplay with Kevin Ayton, the film is based on Anaconda, written by Hans Bauer and Jim Cash and Jack Epps, Jr. It is produced by Brad Fuller, Andrew Form, Kevin Ayton and Tom Gormican, with Samson Muke serving as executive producer. The cast includes Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello along with Black and Rudd.
And we can use that particular streaming window to determine when the movie will start. So here’s when to expect Anaconda to arrive on Netflix if you don’t fancy a trip to cinemas over the festive period.

as mentioned above, Anaconda Netflix doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet at the time of writing, but we know we’ll be waiting for a while.
Unlike other studios, Sony Pictures does not have its own dedicated streaming service. Instead, it has a Pay 1 Window deal with Netflix in the US and certain other territories, meaning its films go exclusively to Netflix after their theatrical and digital releases. It will remain active till the end of 2026.
Based on existing agreements, this window typically opens 120 days after theatrical release. The film releasing in theaters on December 25 means we can expect to see it sooner rather than later Anaconda Is on Netflix in late April.
Calculating the 120-day window from Christmas Day yields the release date. Friday, April 24That date may change slightly earlier or later depending on prior additions, but for now it’s a good guiding point, It will then stream on Netflix for 18 months before moving to Hulu,
