Jason Statham is returning for Meg 2: The Trench — the sequel to 2018’s The Meg. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this new flick!
Directed by Ben Wheatley, the sci-fi action film follows Jonas Taylor (Statham) as he leads a research team in exploring the deepest parts of the ocean. When their mission becomes threatened by a “malevolent mining operation,” they are forced to outrun and outsmart “colossal, prehistoric sharks” in the ultimate battle for survival.
So, where can you watch Meg 2: The Trench? Is it on Max? What about Netflix?
Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:
As of now, the only way to watch Meg 2 is to head out to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, Aug. 4. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon or available to stream on Max. Read on for more information.
Since Meg 2 is being distributed by Warner Bros., it will, indeed, join Max (formerly known as HBO Max). However, unlike the past when the company would drop their movies on the streaming platform the same day they were released in theaters, we are going to have to wait at least 45 days before we can watch from the comfort of our living rooms.
While there is no official streaming release date yet, Evil Dead Rise was released in theaters on April 21 and didn’t make its way to Max until June 23 — just over two months after it debuted. If Meg 2 follows the same trajectory, it’s possible we won’t be able to stream it until early October 2023.
No, Meg 2 is not coming to Netflix — and it likely won’t be there any time soon, seeing as it is going to stream on Max. In the meantime, you’ll just have to head out to a theater or wait for it to become available on streaming.
