Released over the 2020 holiday season, News of the World, the new Tom Hanks western directed by Paul Greengrass, dazzled critics and audiences (at least those who could get to theaters) alike, but many of those who wanted to see the epic were left out in the cold without a way to see the actor and director team up for the first time since 2013's Captain Phillips. But there is some good news, however, as you can now watch News of the World streaming from the comfort of your own homel.

Will News Of The World Be On Netflix?

Well, technically, News of the World will be available on Netflix in international territories at some point, presumably in 2021. According to a Variety report from November 2020, Universal and Netflix haven’t said exactly when the movie will be available in those markets outside of the United States. It remains even more unclear if News of the World will end up on Netflix here in the United States, but make sure to check back for updates on this in the future.

Here Is What CinemaBlend Had To Say About News Of The World

If you are trying to decide on whether or not to watch News of the World in theaters or on video-on-demand or if you have already watched the movie and want to see what CinemaBlend had to say about the movie, here is our review on the Paul Greengrass-directed western. In his review Eric Eisenberg said it was the best effort from Greengrass since 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum and that Tom Hanks reminds the audience why he is one of the best in the business with his portrayal of Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd.

Content Writer

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
