Primetime is a 2026 American psychological thriller directed by Lance Oppenheim from a screenplay by Ajon Singh. The film dramatizes the production of the reality television series To Catch a Predator, with Robert Pattinson portraying host Chris Hansen. Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo and Phoebe Bridgers also appear in supporting roles.
The film premiered at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2026, before its theatrical release in the United States on September 25 through A24. It received positive reviews from critics and has grossed $34.4 million against a $14.5 million budget. However, Hansen himself was not consulted during production and criticized the film as being detached from reality. If you missed it in theaters or are waiting to add it to your collection, here’s everything you need to know about its digital, Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming release schedule.
Primetime Digital Release Date
Primetime will be available to buy or rent digitally from platforms including Amazon Video and iTunes on November 3, 2026.

Blu-ray and DVD Release Date
The Blu-ray and DVD release for Primetime is currently scheduled for January 15, 2027, although the date has initially appeared through international retail listings.

When Will Primetime Stream on Max?

A24’s agreement with HBO/Max gives the streaming service the film’s subscription streaming window. An official streaming date has not yet been announced, but Primetime is currently expected to arrive on Max around January 2027. Depending on the final home entertainment window, the film could debut on the service alongside or shortly after its January physical release.
