Where To Watch ‘The Odyssey’: Nolan Shot Every Frame on IMAX Film
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Randy Harward, our Entertainment Editor with over 27 years covering film and television.
Homer’s epic gets the full Nolan treatment
Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” turns Homer’s ancient poem into the first feature shot entirely on IMAX film cameras, with Matt Damon as Odysseus fighting his way home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, and Robert Pattinson round out one of the most stacked casts of the decade. For now, the only place to see it is a movie theater, but as a Universal Pictures release, it’s headed to Peacock once its theatrical and digital windows wrap. Here’s where to watch it today and where it fits among the best on-demand streaming services down the line.

Where to watch “The Odyssey” on streaming and cable TV
“The Odyssey” is currently playing only in theaters, so you can’t stream it or catch it on cable TV yet. Universal has set Nov. 17, 2026, as its digital release date, when you’ll be able to rent or buy it from storefronts like Apple TV and Prime Video. Like other Universal Pictures films, it’s expected to stream on Peacock after that, though Peacock hasn’t announced a date.
