Finding out where to watch MaXXXine has become surprisingly confusing lately. You’d think by early 2026, every movie under the sun would be sitting neatly on a single app, but the "streaming wars" are still making us hunt through four different subscriptions just to find one slasher flick.
Honestly, if you're looking for Mia Goth’s final bow as Maxine Minx, it isn't just about clicking a button on Netflix anymore. The rights have moved around, licensing deals have kicked in, and depending on where you live, you might be looking at a totally different library than your friend across the border.
The Max Connection (and why it matters)
The biggest thing to understand is the A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery deal. Basically, most A24 movies—including the entire Ti West X trilogy—landed a permanent home on Max (formerly HBO Max).
If you have a Max subscription, that is your primary destination. It’s been streaming there since the tail end of 2024, and it’s still the most stable place to find it. But here’s the kicker: just because it's on Max doesn't mean it's only on Max.

We've seen weird shifts where Hulu or even Netflix picks up secondary licensing. In fact, as of January 2026, Hulu has actually started carrying the film for certain subscribers who have the Disney/Hulu/Max bundle. If you’re paying for that massive "triple threat" package, you can usually pull up the movie right inside the Hulu interface without switching apps. It's a small convenience, but a nice one.
Renting vs. Streaming: The 4K Debate
Look, some of us are snobs about bitrates. I get it. Streaming on a standard Max plan is fine, but if you want to see every drop of 1980s neon-soaked blood in native 4K with a high bitrate, you might actually want to look at Apple TV (iTunes) or Amazon Prime Video.
- Apple TV: Usually has the best 4K Dolby Vision encode for this specific movie. If you buy it here, you’re looking at about $19.99, though it frequently goes on sale for $9.99.
- Amazon Prime: Great for renting. If you don't want to commit to a $15/month Max subscription just for one 104-minute movie, you can rent it for about $5.99.
- Fandango at Home: (The artist formerly known as Vudu). It’s still a solid choice for those who have a legacy library there.
One mistake people make is searching for it on Netflix. In the US, it’s rarely there. Netflix occasionally gets older A24 titles like Everything Everywhere All At Once, but the X trilogy has stayed pretty loyal to the Warner Bros. ecosystem.

What about the "Walmart Exclusive" and Physical Media?
It sounds old school, but the physical release of MaXXXine actually matters because of the extras. If you're a fan of the "making-of" stuff, the digital versions are often stripped down.
There is a specific Walmart Exclusive Blu-ray that collectors have been chasing. It comes with a "blood red" slipcover and a few featurettes like "The Belly of the Beast" and a Q&A with Ti West that you won't find on a standard streaming platform. If you’re a die-hard fan of the trilogy, having the disc is the only way to ensure you actually own the movie, especially with how often titles disappear from digital lockers these days.
Watching MaXXXine Outside the US
This is where it gets messy.

If you are in the UK, Max doesn't exist yet in the same way. You’re likely looking at Sky Go or NOW TV. In Canada, it’s almost always Crave.
A lot of people try to use a VPN to jump over to US Max, which works, but keep in mind that payment methods usually have to match the region. If you're traveling, your best bet is to download the movie for offline viewing on your device before you leave your home country. It saves a massive headache with "content not available in your region" errors.
Why You Should Probably Watch It Now
There were rumors for a while about Ti West doing a fourth movie. He’s mentioned having an idea for it, but for now, MaXXXine is the definitive end of the story that started at that farmhouse in Texas.
The movie is a total love letter to 80s sleaze and the VHS era. It looks best at night, in a dark room, with the volume turned up. The sound design, specifically the synth-heavy score, is half the experience.
Actionable Next Steps
- Check your current bundles: Before buying anything, open your Hulu or Max app and just search for it. If you have the Disney+ bundle, you might already have access without realizing it.
- Price Track: If you want to own it digitally, use a site like CheapCharts to see the price history on iTunes. It hits the $7.99 to $9.99 range about once every three months.
- Verify the Version: If you're renting on Prime Video, make sure you select the 4K UHD version. Sometimes they default to HD for the same price, which is just a waste of pixels.
- Double-check the Trilogy: If you haven't seen X or Pearl recently, they are usually bundled together for a discount on most digital storefronts. Watching them in a row makes the callbacks in MaXXXine hit way harder.
Go ahead and pull up your provider's search bar now. Whether you're streaming it on Max or grabbing the 4K rental on Apple, you're in for a wild, gory ride through 1985 Hollywood.
