Will ‘The King’s Daughter’ be on HBO Max or Netflix?

Over seven years after production wrapped on the film adaptation of Vonda N. McIntyre’s 1997 fantasy novel The Moon and the Sun, the movie known as The King’s Daughter is finally releasing in theaters this weekend.

The King’s Daughter was initially meant to be released by Paramount in 2015, before the studio abruptly canceled its release. It was eventually acquired by Gravitas Ventures and set to release in 2022. While some films might never make it out of the kind of developmental hell that The King’s Daughter went through, this movie—directed by Sean McNamara—persisted. Pierce Brosnan stars as King Louis XIV, who is on a quest for immortality during his reign in 17th century France. How does he plan to become immortal? By stealing a mermaid’s life force! Duh!

While it promises to be the kind of bonkers movie that is perfect for a night of drinking on the couch, you can’t watch The King’s Daughter at home just yet. Read on to find out where to watch The King’s Daughter and when to expect The King’s Daughter on streaming.

WHERE TO WATCH THE KING’S DAUGHTER:

For now, the only way to watch The King’s Daughter is to go to a movie theater. The King’s Daughter will open in theaters in the U.S on January 21, 2022. You can find tickets at a theater near you here.

After the movie’s theatrical run, you will be able to rent The King’s Daughter on digital platforms like Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, and more.

WILL THE KING’S DAUGHTER BE ON HBO MAX?

No. The King’s Daughter is not a Warner Bros. movie, and therefore will not be streaming on HBO Max when it opens in theaters. More than that, HBO Max will no longer be streaming theatrical movies in 2022. Last year, Warner Media opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max.

IS THE KING’S DAUGHTER ON NETFLIX?

No. The King’s Daughter is not on Netflix, and it likely will not be on Netflix any time soon. Sorry!

WHEN WILL THE KING’S DAUGHTER BE STREAMING?

We don’t yet know, but it’s likely that The King’s Daughter will be on streaming soon. There is not yet an official digital or VOD release date for The King’s Daughter, but it’s unlikely that audiences will have to wait any longer than 45 days—which many studios are using as the new standard for theatrical windows—to stream the movie at home. Therefore, you should be able to buy or rent The King’s Daughter on VOD by mid-March 2022, if not sooner. You’ll be with those magical mermaids soon.
