Heart of the Beast is a 2026 American survival thriller directed by David Ayer and written by Cameron Alexander. The film stars Brad Pitt as a retired Special Forces veteran who must navigate a grueling 58-mile trek to safety through the Alaskan wilderness with his traumatized combat German Shepherd after their seaplane crashes.
The film premiered at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee, on September 16, 2026, before its theatrical release in the United States on September 25 through Paramount Pictures. It received generally positive reviews from critics. 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.
Heart of the Beast Digital Release Date
Heart of the Beast will be available to buy or rent digitally from platforms including Amazon Video and iTunes on November 10, 2026. The digital release comes roughly six and a half weeks after the film’s theatrical debut, giving audiences the opportunity to watch David Ayer’s survival thriller at home.
Blu-ray and DVD Release Date
An official physical media release date has not yet been confirmed by Paramount Pictures, but Heart of the Beast is expected to arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD in December 2026. Some international retailer listings have pointed toward late December, although certain overseas markets have already listed later dates. For now, a specific U.S. street date remains unconfirmed, but a December release would put the physical edition roughly one month after the digital debut.
When Will Heart of the Beast Stream on Paramount+?

Paramount has not announced an official subscription streaming date for Heart of the Beast. However, the film is expected to eventually make its way to Paramount+, Paramount’s primary streaming home for its theatrical releases. Based on the studio’s recent theatrical-to-streaming strategy (as seen with past hits like A Quiet Place: Day One, Smile, and IF) Heart of the Beast could arrive on Paramount+ around late November or December 2026, approximately 60 to 90 days after its September 25 theatrical release. An early-to-mid December debut would therefore be a reasonable estimate.
For now, November 10, 2026 is the confirmed home entertainment date, while December 2026 for Blu-ray/DVD and late November to December 2026 for Paramount+ remain the expected windows.
