There’s a new 2025 Smurfs movie coming to theaters this weekend, and this time, it’s entirely animated.
Directed by Chris Miller (Shrek the Third, Puss in Boots) with a screenplay written by Pam Brady, this upcoming musical comedy for kids is yet another reboot of the franchise based on the 1950s The Smurfs comic book series created by the Belgian comics artist Peyo. Grammy-winning pop star Rihanna both produced and stars in the film as Smurfette, the only female Smurf in her community. The sprawling Smurfs voice cast includes John Goodman as Papa Smurf, alongside James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, and Kurt Russell.
If you’re a Smurfs fan, you’ll definitely be feeling blue if you miss out on this new Smurfs movie. Read on to find out what we know about where to watch the new Smurfs 2025 movie, and when we expect to be able to watch the Smurfs 2025 movie streaming on Paramount+.
Smurfs 2025 will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Friday, July 18. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Smurfs 2025 is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.
Smurfs 2025 is not streaming on Netflix, and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Paramount Pictures release. Almost all Paramount movies go to Paramount’s streaming platform, Paramount+.
Paramount+ offers two subscription plans. The ad-supported Essential plan costs $7.99/month, while the ad-free Premium plan (which comes with Showtime and live CBS) costs $12.99/month. New subscribers can take advantage of a seven-day free trial.
Smurfs 2025 is not streaming on Disney+, and will not be on Disney+ any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Paramount release and not a Disney movie. Not every animated movie is a Disney movie! If you want to watch Smurfs 2025 movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Paramount+.
The Smurfs 2025 Paramount+ streaming date has not yet been announced. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Smurfs 2025 streaming on Paramount+ eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another recent Paramount film, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, was released on digital platforms one month after opening in theaters, and began streaming on Paramount+ about two months after opening in theaters.
If Smurfs 2025 follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital around mid-August 2025, and streaming on Paramount+ around mid-September 2025.
But this is all speculation. If you want to watch the Smurfs right away, you can catch the movie in theaters.
