‘The Strangers Chapter 2’ Comes To Digital, But When Will ‘The Strangers Chapter 2’ Be Available on Streaming?

If you really want to get in the spooky season mood this week, good news: The Strangers: Chapter 2 is coming to digital platforms, and will be available to buy and rent at home tomorrow. This sequel to The Strangers: Chapter 1 is sure to send you to bed with nightmares.

Directed by Renny Harlin (who also helmed the first movie), with a screenplay written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, this is a reboot trilogy of the 2008 horror movie The Strangers, from Bryan Bertino. The second film in this reboot trilogy finds Maya Luca (played by Madelaine Petsch) dealing with the fallout of an attack of three masked assailants known as “the Strangers.” Though she lost her longtime love, Ryan (Froy Gutierrez), she is still alive. But can she stay that way?

Also starring Gabriel Basso and Ema Horvath, The Strangers: Chapter 2 received poor reviews from critics and audiences alike, with a 15 percent on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, and earning only $13.1 million at the worldwide box office. Perhaps The Strangers: Chapter 2 will find the right audience now that it’s available to buy and rent online. But if you’d rather not spend $25 to watch The Strangers Chapter 2 at home, read on to find out what we know about when The Strangers Chapter 2 will be available on streaming on Starz.

The Strangers Chapter 2 movie digital release date:

The Strangers Chapter 2 will be released on digital, on premium video-on-demand, on Tuesday, October 14. You’ll be able to buy or rent the film on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, and more. The film will cost $24.99 to buy a digital copy, or $19.99 to rent. If you rent the film, you will have 48 hours to watch it after hitting play.

The Strangers Chapter 2 is not yet streaming on a subscription streaming service, but we do expect to see The Strangers Chapter 2 streaming on Starz eventually.

When will The Strangers Chapter 2 movie be on streaming on Starz?

You might see The Strangers Chapter 2 on Starz in January 2026, because it is a Lionsgate film, and Lionsgate extended its output deal with Starz, despite the fact the studios are still planning to separate in 2026. Supposedly, under the new terms of the deal, Starz will have exclusive rights to Lionsgate films post-theaters, and that the window will now come sooner after the movie’s theatrical run.

The 2025 Lionsgate movie Shadow Force began streaming on Starz on about four months after the movie opened in the theaters. If The Strangers Chapter 2 follows the same release pattern, you might see the movie on Starz in about four months, which would be around January 2026.

Starz typically costs $10.99/month, but right now, you can subscribe and get your first three months for $0.99/month. Additionally, you can prepay for $11.99 for 12 months of Starz and save over $50.

But this is all speculation. Not all of the recent Lionsgate movies have gone on to stream on Starz. In the meantime, you can buy or rent The Strangers Chapter 2 on digital, or you can stream The Strangers Chapter 1 on Starz.
