Hope Digital Release Date

Hope will be available to buy or rent digitally from platforms including Amazon Video and iTunes on October 13, 2026. The digital release gives international audiences an opportunity to watch Na Hong-jin’s ambitious sci-fi thriller at home following its theatrical run.

Blu-ray and DVD Release Date

An official physical media release date has not yet been announced for Hope. However, the film is currently expected to arrive on DVD and Blu-ray around November 2026.

When Will Hope Stream on Hulu or Peacock?

 

An official subscription streaming date for Hope has not yet been announced. With NEON handling the film’s U.S. distribution, the sci-fi thriller could eventually find its subscription streaming home on Hulu or Peacock, depending on the studio’s licensing arrangements. Based on the expected post-theatrical window, Hope could arrive on a subscription streaming service sometime in late November or December 2026, shortly after its physical media release.
