While The Bad Guys 2 has only just hit theaters, there are many who are looking for a streaming date. Well, we know which platform this movie is expected to go to, and a rough time frame we’ll have to wait.
Let’s be honest; it’s not surprising that people are looking for a streaming home. Going to the movies is expensive, and it’s becoming more and more cost-prohibitive with the rising cost of living. It’s already expensive just to take yourself to the theaters, let alone the whole family.
So, a streaming date is needed. We want to know when we can gather the family on the couch and enjoy the release at home.
The Bad Guys 2 will go to Peacock first
There’s no doubt about it; The Bad Guys 2 will head to Peacock as its first streaming home. This is a DreamWorks production, which is under the NBCUniverse umbrella. Peacock is the NBCUniversal streaming platform, so it makes sense to make that the first streaming home.
This doesn’t mean that it will always remain there. We see a lot of animated NBCUniversal movies move from Peacock to Netflix after a few months. It’s all about the licensing deals that are in place. But, Peacock is the first streaming home.
The Bad Guys sequel should be on Peacock in 2025
We shouldn’t have to wait too long if we look at the releases of other Illumination and DreamWorks movies—again, both are NBCUniversal production companies. We can take a look at Dog Man from earlier this year. It came out in theaters on Jan. 31, 2025 and was available on Peacock on May 20, 2025, so about four months after the theatrical release.
With that in mind, we’re looking at The Bad Guys 2 heading to Peacock around early November 2025, which would mark four months from the theatrical release date.
Get the movie on Digital first
Of course, the theatrically released movies go to Digital to purchase before they go to streaming homes. This is to help them make a little more money before people start watching with a monthly subscription, and we can see the same thing happening with The Bad Guys 2.
Dog Man took about a month to head to Digital, so we’re looking at a similar timeframe for this latest animated release. Look out for The Bad Guys sequel to hit theaters around the beginning of September, probably Sept. 2, 2025.
The Bad Guys 2 is currently out in theaters.
