News of Netflix’s upcoming Scott Pilgrim anime has left the internet going wild — and some may even be feeling nostalgia for the 2010 cult movie that first brought Bryan Lee O’Malley’s hit graphic novel to the screen.
The new series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, will see the cast of the live-action film returning to their original characters, along with the movie’s director and co-writer Edgar Wright serving as the executive producer.
Netflix teases in the synopsis, “Scott Pilgrim meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, but learns he must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her. Then things get even more complicated.”
Lead actor Michael Cera is also looking forward to the final product, telling Decider in an interview prior to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, “Every time I’ve recorded it, I have to send Brian an email saying, ‘I love this so much. I’m so excited about it.'”
Well, Cera, we’re in lesbians with Scott Pilgrim too! That’s why we’ve created this guide on how to watch the movie that started it all. Here’s everything you need to know about streaming Scott Pilgrim vs. the World before the anime releases.
No, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is not streaming on Netflix. Do you remember watching the movie on Netflix? Don’t worry — you’re not going crazy. The 2010 live-action flick used to stream on Netflix, but was removed in April 2023. Will things change now that the series is coming to the streamer? Maybe. Who knows? As for now, you’ll have no luck looking for the title on Netflix.
Now that we’ve established that Scott Pilgrim vs. the World isn’t streaming on Netflix, let’s talk about where you can stream it. We’ll give you a hint — the streamer shares a name with a colorful bird. That’s right! The popular movie is streaming on Peacock. Subscriptions to Peacock start at $5.99/month.
Maybe you don’t want to subscribe to a new streaming platform. Honestly, we can relate. Too many streamers, too little time. Luckily, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World isn’t a streaming exclusive. In fact, it was released before the boom of streaming platforms. That means you can find the title all over video-on-demand services, like Prime Video, Vudu, and Apple TV.
Netflix’s new anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off premieres November 17, 2023, exclusively on the streaming platform. The show will consist of eight episodes. The streamer typically releases new television shows and movies at 3 AM ET/12 AM PT.
