The Predator: Badlands streaming release date is highly anticipated following the film’s theatrical release. Helmed by Dan Trachtenberg from Patrick Aison’s screenplay, the film is the seventh installment in the Predator franchise. As of writing, the film has grossed $79.2 million at the worldwide box office and $40 million domestically. Further, it boasts an 85% certified fresh Tomatometer score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Here is what we know about the OTT release date for Predator: Badlands.
What is the Predator: Badlands streaming release date estimate?
Predator: Badlands’ streaming release date is estimated for late January-February 2026. This is based on the pattern followed by Disney when it comes to releasing its theatrical films on streamers.
While Predator: Badlands is eventually expected to arrive on Disney+ and Hulu, due to it being distributed by 20th Century Studios, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, its streaming release date is unconfirmed.
Disney typically drops its films on streaming services about three months after their theatrical releases. For instance, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps hit theaters in July 2025 before arriving on streaming in November. Accordingly, if Predator: Badlands follows a similar pattern, then its aforementioned late January-February 2026 streaming release date becomes all the more likely.

In a recent interview with Variety, Trachtenberg compared his approach to setting up future Predator installments to the MCU’s approach to setting up The Avengers. He stressed that each film would be a “complete thought” but also subtly set up a wider, interconnected universe.
Predator: Badlands follows Dek, a young Yautja exiled from his clan after being deemed weak. He subsequently escapes his father’s murder attempt and crashes on a hostile alien planet. While trying to survive, he meets and allies with Thia, a damaged Weyland-Yutani Corporation synthetic. Together, the pair encounters a terrifying adversary.
The Predator: Badlands cast includes Elle Fanning, Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, Michael Homick, Stefan Grube, Reuben De Jong, Cameron Brown, Alison Wright, and Matt Duffer.
The synopsis for Predator: Badlands is as follows:
“Cast out from his clan, a young Predator finds an unlikely ally in a damaged android and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.”
