The Smurfs (2025) is one of the most anticipated animated movies of the year, and though it is just nearing the start of its theatrical run, fans are already eager to know when the movie will be available to watch at home. Of course, it is too soon for exact details, but here is a breakdown of when fans may be able to stream The Smurfs.
When is Smurfs’ digital release date expected?
Digital release dates for projects vary from production company to production company. Paramount has not officially announced The Smurfs yet, but the best guess comes from the history of its releases. Paramount Animation produced the movie, and Paramount Pictures is distributing it. So it should stick to the release schedule that the production house has followed with earlier releases.
Most Paramount releases hit digital platforms around one month after their theatrical release. So, in all likelihood, Smurfs will release on digital platforms around mid to late August. However, fans will still have to wait longer for a streaming release.
When will Smurfs stream on Paramount+?
Just like its digital release date, there is no streaming release date for The Smurfs yet, but Paramount’s schedule may provide a hint about this as well. Usually, most releases from the studio take about two months to arrive on streaming.
This means that The Smurfs may arrive on Paramount+ around mid-September.
The Smurfs premiered in Brussels on June 28, 2025, and got its theatrical release on July 18, 2025. So far, the movie has not received a positive critical reception. It serves as a reboot of the franchise.
The ensemble cast of the movie includes James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Kurt Russell, and John Goodman.
