when can i rent the housemaid movie

You’ll likely be able to rent or buy The Housemaid (the new thriller based on Freida McFadden’s book) on digital services in mid‑ to late January 2026 , with wider streaming later in spring 2026.

Quick timing breakdown

• The movie opened in theaters in the U.S. on December 19, 2025.

• For Lionsgate releases, the usual pattern is:
  • Digital PVOD (rent/buy) about 3–4 weeks after theatrical release.

* Subscription streaming (not just rental) around **45–90 days** after theatrical.

When you can rent it

• One industry guide notes that The Housemaid is anticipated to hit premium video‑on‑demand (PVOD) between about January 13–20, 2026 , on platforms like Amazon and Apple TV, meaning that’s roughly when you should be able to rent or buy it at home.

• Another outlet, looking at recent Lionsgate patterns, says you can expect it to be available to stream (as part of a subscription) in early to mid‑2026 , after that initial PVOD window.

Where to look first

• Digital rental/buy stores (likely earliest):
  • Amazon Prime Video Store
  • Apple TV / iTunes
  • Vudu / Fandango at Home
  • Google Play / YouTube Movies
    These are usually the first places Lionsgate titles appear for at‑home rental.

• Subscription streaming :
  • Current reporting suggests it will land first on Starz (via Lionsgate’s deal) and then later move to Prime Video as part of the regular library, but that will be after the PVOD rental period.

Simple answer for planning

• If you just want to rent it digitally as soon as possible, plan on checking the major digital stores from mid‑January 2026 onward.

• If you prefer to wait until it’s included with a subscription (no extra rental fee), expect that a bit later in spring 2026 , likely starting on Starz, then eventually Prime Video.
