When Can You Watch ‘Other Mommy’ at Home After Its Theatrical Run

‘Other Mommy’ opens in theaters on Friday, October 9, 2026, after its original May 8 date was moved. For horror fans who plan to wait, the first question is when the film will reach streaming and digital rental.

Nothing is locked in yet, though early reporting offers a rough outline of where the Jessica Chastain thriller could land. Here is what current sources say about ‘Other Mommy’ streaming, including the likely platforms and the windows that usually govern a Universal release.

Where ‘Other Mommy’ Streaming Stands Right Now

At launch the film is a theatrical exclusive, and it is not available to stream, rent or buy on any digital platform. TV Insider’s listing likewise shows it as unavailable on any streaming service for now.

That absence is normal for a movie that is just opening. TV Insider notes that digital and streaming dates are generally not released until a film is already in theaters. FlixPatrol, which tracks streaming charts, also reports no streaming data for the film this week.

Viewers should be cautious about any site that claims otherwise. CableTV says neither Prime Video nor Hulu carries the film, and any service claiming to have it before February 2027 is not a legitimate source.

The Expected Release Date for Digital Rental and Peacock

Epicstream expects the film to reach Peacock after its theatrical run, likely in early 2027, with a premium video on demand release on Amazon Prime Video around November 2026. The same outlet lists February 2027 as a possible streaming date.

The rental side of the picture is less specific. CableTV expects Prime Video and Apple TV to offer the film as a rental or purchase during the standard window after theaters, but no listing has gone live yet. Epicstream adds that some movies become available to stream about 120 days after their theatrical release.

All of these dates should be treated as estimates rather than commitments. Epicstream cautions that release dates in its guide are speculative and subject to change. CableTV similarly describes its window as a strong projection rather than a locked calendar entry.

How Universal’s Peacock Window Shapes the Streaming Timeline

The reasoning behind a Peacock debut comes from the studio behind the film. Because Universal Pictures is distributing ‘Other Mommy’, Epicstream considers it highly likely to stream on Peacock under the studio’s licensing agreement. Universal’s deal, announced years ago, brings its films to Peacock no later than four months after their theatrical release.

The arrangement splits the traditional subscription window into parts. Peacock is exclusive during the first four months and the last four months of an eighteen month window. During the ten months in the middle, the films are licensed to other partners who do not hold exclusive rights.

That structure explains why Netflix appears in some projections. CableTV expects the film to land on Netflix around June 2027 and stay for roughly ten months before the rights cycle back to Peacock. Films under this model also go through a traditional premium rental and home entertainment sales period before appearing on Peacock.

What to Know About the ‘Other Mommy’ Cast and Story Before It Streams

The film is directed by Rob Savage and written by Nathan Elston, and it is based on Josh Malerman’s novel Incidents Around the House. Chastain plays two roles, Ursula and the entity known as Other Mommy, while Jay Duplass plays Russ and Arabella Olivia Clark plays Bela.

The story follows Bela, an eight year old girl in a home with marital problems, who confronts a sinister entity that emerges from her closet. The presence grows increasingly threatening to her and her family, and the film carries an R rating.

The creative team has also addressed a question viewers may carry into the film. The filmmaker has confirmed that Other Mommy is not simply a figment of Bela’s imagination and that a paranormal entity is tormenting the family. With Chastain filling both sides of that haunting, do you think ‘Other Mommy’ is worth seeing in a theater first, or will you wait for its eventual arrival on Peacock?
