Robert Eggers Epic Historically Baru, Northman headed to the theater at the end of April and had to come to Netflix in the US and other regions throughout the world but not for several years.Starring Ethan Hawke, Alexander Skarsgård and Nicole Kidman, the new film followed a young viking prince about his search to avenge his father’s murder.The film has received a warm welcome at this time carrying 83 to Metacritic which provides a coveted “must-see” badge. Collider states that this is one of Robert Eggs’s best films until now.
Will The Northman be on Netflix in the United States?
Yes, but it won’t come in the near future. In fact, if you only use Netflix, you have years to wait before available.The reason came to Netflix, thanks to the expansive Netflix deal beaten with Universal in 2021 which means that all universal films come to Netflix even though with live-action films come long after the theater release.
This is part of the newly beaten agreement that will include Northman.”As part of the agreement, Netflix will also allow the right to the full animation and live action slate from UFEG about 4 years after the release and the right to choose titles from the Universal Film Library.”Northman is not a universal release provided that the focus feature is distributed. However, the focus feature falls under the UFEG portfolio (Universal Filmed Entertainment Group).That means we expect Northman at Netflix in 2026. Yes, it’s a long way.DVD Netflix services in the US will bring films at the end of 2022 and Peacock will receive films in the summer.
Will The Northman be on Netflix Internationally?
Outside of the United States, Universal Pictures handles film distribution which means that we will see films appear on services that have received universal films.Unfortunately, we don’t have the right specific per region but as we did for our ambulance (the release of other universal films), we can use the previous release to guess which area will receive Northman and when.
South Korea currently gets the fastest new universal receiving new universal films about 9 months after releasing in theaters. That was what happened to F9 which arrived at Netflix South Korea in April 2022, for example. If it’s a problem for Northman, we will see a movie added at the end of 2022 or early 2023.The next set of areas that get a universal film did it about 2 years after their theater debut. These regions include Britain, Australia, Israel, Poland, Turkey, and others. In this case, you can expect Northman to be available in 2024.Outside of these areas, there is no fixed pattern which means we do not predict Northman available in the near future you must use other methods to watch. Peacock slowly took refuge throughout the world which is expected to be the default streaming house for all universal films.
