Where To Watch ‘Other Mommy’: Is Jessica Chastain’s Doppelganger Horror Streaming?
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Mike Strayer, our Managing Editor with over 11 years covering TV and entertainment.
Blumhouse and Atomic Monster’s “Other Mommy” opens in theaters October 9, and if you’ve seen the trailer, you already know why r/horror keeps replaying a certain “table” shot.
Rob Savage directs Jessica Chastain in a dual role as a mom and the paranormal thing wearing her face, adapted from Josh Malerman’s 2024 novel “Incidents Around the House.”
Streaming isn’t an option yet — Universal’s window means it’ll stay out of the app-scroll for a while — so here’s a realistic timeline, plus what horror fans are already arguing about.

Where to watch “Other Mommy” on streaming and cable TV
“Other Mommy” is a theatrical exclusive at launch: It hits U.S. theaters October 9, 2026, and isn’t currently streaming or available to rent or buy on any digital platform.
Under Universal’s current release deal, the film should move to premium video-on-demand within a month or two of its theatrical run this October, then to Peacock for roughly four months after opening — putting a projected streaming premiere in February 2027 — before a longer stay on Netflix starting around June 2027, per Yahoo Entertainment.
If you don’t want to wait, the theater is your only option right now, and given the crowd energy already in early screenings, we recommend pulling yourself off the couch and hitting your local cinema.
When does “Other Mommy” stream on Peacock?
Nothing is officially announced yet, but Universal’s standard theatrical-to-streaming pattern points to a Peacock premiere no later than early February 2027 — about four months after the October 9 opening.
That’s the window before the film moves to Netflix for its longer run, which is the same path recent Universal horror titles have taken.
When does “Other Mommy” hit Netflix?
Under the Universal-Netflix deal that kicked in for the studio’s 2026 slate, “Other Mommy” is expected to land on Netflix around June 2027 and stay roughly 10 months before the rights cycle back to Peacock.
Netflix hasn’t published an exact date — that’s normal for a movie still weeks away from its theatrical opening — so treat the window as a strong projection rather than a locked calendar entry.
Where to watch “Other Mommy” FAQ
Is "Other Mommy" on Prime or Netflix?
Not yet. As of its October 9 theatrical opening, "Other Mommy" isn't available on any subscription streamer, and it isn't offered as a digital rental or purchase either. Netflix is its projected long-term home starting in mid-2027, but Prime Video isn't in the current Universal deal for this title.
Is "Other Mommy" on Prime or Hulu?
No. Neither Prime Video nor Hulu carries "Other Mommy" as of publication, and neither is expected to before its Peacock and Netflix windows play out. Prime Video and Apple TV should eventually offer it as a digital rental or purchase during the standard PVOD window after theaters, but no listing has gone live yet.
Can I watch "Other Mommy" for free?
Not right now. Theatrical tickets are the only way to see it in October, and once it moves to streaming, it'll require an active Peacock or Netflix subscription. Peacock doesn't offer a free trial in 2026, so a paid plan is the realistic entry point when the film arrives on the service next year.
Do I need Peacock to watch "Other Mommy"?
Eventually, yes — Peacock is expected to be the first streaming home before Netflix picks it up. But for now, no subscription helps: This is a theaters-only release, and any streaming service claiming to have it before February 2027 isn't a legitimate source.
