Predator: Badlands OTT Release Date
Predator: Badlands is set to arrive on OTT in India on 12 February 2026, streaming on JioHotstar and also accessible via an OTTplay Premium subscription.
This comes a little over three months after its theatrical release on 7 November 2025, which is pretty standard these days for a big studio sci‑fi title that’s had time to finish its main box office run.
For anyone who skipped the cinema or just wants a second round with better pause‑control, this OTT window is where the film shifts from “event release” to “comfort rewatch with snacks nearby.”
Outside India, Predator: Badlands has already had a premium digital rollout from 6 January 2026, landing on major PVOD platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home for purchase and rental.
After that early paid window, it is expected to move onto Disney‑controlled streaming services, primarily Hulu and Disney+, later in 2026, following the typical 20th Century Studios pipeline.
Where to Watch Predator: Badlands?
Predator: Badlands can currently be watched at home on premium video‑on‑demand platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home, where viewers can buy or rent the film digitally.
On these services, the movie is offered at a higher “new release” price tier around the usual big‑studio range, with a 30‑day window to start watching and 48 hours to finish once playback begins for rentals.
In India, Predator: Badlands is specifically confirmed to stream on JioHotstar from 12 February 2026, and it is also available through OTTplay Premium as a bundled way to access the same catalog.
Looking slightly further ahead, industry tracking expects the movie to land on Hulu and Disney+ in other regions as part of the 20th Century Studios–Disney ecosystem, so subscribers on those platforms can probably mark it as a “later in 2026” arrival rather than an indefinite wait.
Predator: Badlands Cast
Predator: Badlands is led by Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi, who anchor the film’s strange little partnership between an exiled Predator and a damaged android.
Fanning plays Thia, a Weyland‑Yutani synthetic who becomes an unlikely ally, and also Tessa, her twin counterpart with very different motives.
Schuster‑Koloamatangi plays Dek, a young Predator outcast trying to earn his way back into an infamously brutal clan, as well as the fearsome Njohrr / Apex Predator, the clan leader and Dek’s father.
Supporting roles include Mike Homik as Kwei, Dek’s older brother who trains him for his first hunt, plus other Predators and synthetics that fill out the clan politics and corporate machinations without a single human character in sight.
It is all steered by director Dan Trachtenberg, returning to the franchise after Prey and pushing it into a more futuristic, lore‑heavy direction rather than another Earth‑bound survival story.
About Predator: Badlands
Predator: Badlands is the seventh film in the Predator franchise, a sci‑fi action thriller set in the future on the remote planet Genna, where a young Predator named Dek is exiled from his clan and forced to hunt for the “ultimate adversary” to win back his honor.
Instead of the usual human‑versus‑Predator setup, the movie leans into an almost mythic coming‑of‑age story for its Yautja lead, with Dek teaming up with Thia, a damaged Weyland‑Yutani synthetic, and crossing paths with other synthetics and creatures, including the terrifying Kalis,k in a landscape that feels more like a monster‑ridden pilgrimage than a straightforward hunt.
The film carries a PG‑13 rating, a noticeable shift from some of the franchise’s earlier, harder‑edged entries, and that choice has been framed by the studio as a way to pull in a broader audience while still holding onto the core sci‑fi tension and creature‑feature thrills.
With strong box office performance reported and a mix of franchise nostalgia plus fresh world‑building, Predator: Badlands has quickly become one of those entries that fans debate in long threads, some loving the focus on Predator culture, others missing the grim soldier‑in‑the‑jungle vib,e but almost everyone agreeing it’s worth at least one watch once it lands on OTT.
