Radio Silence is back with another horror movie, and there are different options for where to watch Abigail. The 2024 horror movie comes from directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett following their work on reviving and leaving the Scream franchise. Abigail replaces Scream 7 with the directing duo reuniting with Melissa Barrera, who headlines a cast that includes Kathryn Newton, Dan Stevens, Kevin Durard, Angus Cloud, Giancarlo Esposito, and Alisha Weir. The movie follows a group of criminals hired to kidnap and watch Abigail, only to discover that they've captured a ballerina vampire who begins fighting back.

As the latest horror movie from the Radio Silence group, interest in Abigail was high even before story details were known or a trailer was released. The more revealed about Universal's new horror movie, the more exciting it became. Abigail's reviews point to the movie more than living up to the high expectations that come from Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett's involvement, as well as horror returns for Barrera, Newton, and Stevens. Whether someone wants to watch Abigail in theaters or on streaming, here's everything to know about where and how to watch it.

Universal Pictures always planned for Abigail to release exclusively in theaters first. The project was announced with an April 19, 2024, release date before production began, and the studio never shifted the date around or considered a streaming release. The theatrical release came after Abigail's world premiere at the Overlook Film Festival in early April 2024. This is where the initial great reviews came from, creating greater interest in watching the movie through any of Abigail's showtimes at different locations.

When Will Abigail Release On Streaming?

Abigail Will Stream On Peacock

Close

As a Universal release, it is known that the movie will stream on Peacock when the time comes. However, no Abigail streaming release date has been announced at this time. The good news is that Universal's track record provides a potential baseline for when it could happen. The studio typically waits between three and four months to make new movies available on streaming, with an average of about 95 days passing among its biggest titles. This would make Abigail's release date on Peacock be in late July 2024 if the schedule holds.

When Will Abigail Release On Digital?

Those wanting to watch Abigail at home without the need for a streaming service can do so through its digital release. Universal has not announced a digital release date, but it typically makes movies available on PVOD services a little over a month after its theatrical debut. This would give audiences the option to buy or rent Abigail on digital in May 2024 if the same strategy is used. Since most Universal movies go to digital after 18 or 32 days, Abigail's exact digital release date could depend on its box office success.
