New Movies Streaming On Starz

If you have Starz, you’ll be able to watch The Housemaid if you missed the Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried thriller during its massive box office run late last year. But that isn’t the only recent movie streaming on the platform.

New Movies Streaming On VOD

Don’t want to wait for your favorite movies (or maybe those you missed on the big screen) to hit one of your go-to streaming services? You’ll have to pay a premium for the convenience of watching a movie early (some of these titles cost $25 on Amazon), but sometimes it’s totally worth it. If you’ve been wanting to catch Evil Dead Burn, Disclosure Day or Supergirl at home, they're here or coming soon!

With all the major movies in theaters right now, it will only be a matter of time before we see some of the year’s biggest movies on one of these streaming services.
