Rental Family: Digital, Blu-ray and Streaming Release Date, Where and When to Watch Online

Look alive, film fans, because Rental Family is finally leaving theaters and coming to your couch. This quirky, feel-good comedy-drama starring Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser is getting a home release that’s worth marking on your calendar. First a bit of background before we dive into dates and features. In Rental Family, Brendan Fraser plays an American actor drifting through life in Tokyo who takes a strange gig at a rental family agency. He pretends to be someone’s relative or friend for hire, only to discover real emotional bonds along the way. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2025, then hit U.S. theaters on November 21, 2025. It has since earned solid praise for heart and warmth.

Rental Family Digital Release: Your First Chance to Watch at Home

The earliest home release format is digital. Starting January 13, 2026, Rental Family will be available for rental or purchase on digital platforms. This means you can stream or download it from places like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Features to Expect on Digital

1. Multiple formats available, including standard and possibly 4K UHD where supported.
2. Bonus extras such as a featurette called “Rental Family Revealed” that takes you behind the scenes with Brendan Fraser, director HIKARI, and the rest of the cast.
3. A collection of deleted and extended scenes added for fans who want more content unused in theaters.

Digital releases are perfect if you want to watch immediately, pause and rewind, or enjoy on multiple devices without owning a physical disc.

Blu-ray and DVD: Collectors Rejoice

Physical media lovers get their turn on February 17, 2026. That’s when Rental Family arrives on Blu-ray and DVD in stores across the United States. Blu-ray Features That Matter:

1. Crystal clear Blu-ray picture quality and audio tracks make this ideal if you have a home theater setup.
2. English 5.1 and Dolby Atmos audio on some versions, plus Spanish and French audio tracks.
3. Subtitles in multiple languages, including English SDH, Spanish, and French.
4. Physical extras like the same behind-the-scenes featurette and extended scenes found on digital.

Blu-ray includes a digital copy code so you can watch both at home on disc and on the go. This gives you the best of both worlds.

Rental Family Streaming Release: Coming Soon

At the moment, Rental Family does not yet have a confirmed streaming release date on services like Hulu or Disney+. However, based on how other Searchlight Pictures films are released, it’s expected to show up on streaming platforms about three months after its theatrical premiere, which would put it around February to April 2026.

Disney-owned Searchlight films often land on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ in other regions, so that will likely be where you watch without buying it.

Rental Family has been dubbed one of “the most feel-good movies” coming into 2026. So, expect comfort and loads of heart-warming scenes with this one.
