If you want to spend your holidays succumbing to the darkness, then you’re in luck: Nosferatu is opening in theaters this week, on Christmas Day.

Written and directed by Robert Eggers (known for his twisted horror films like The Witch and The Lighthouse), this film is a remake of the famed 1922 silent German film Nosferatu, which itself was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula.

This version of Nosferatu stars Nicholas Hoult (in his second Dracula adaptation in two years time, following 2023’s Renfield) as Thomas Hunter and Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hunter, a newly-wed couple in 1838 Germany. Thanks to a wish she made as a girl, Ellen finds herself stalked by a dark creature of the night, Count Orlok (played by Bill Skarsgård).

Also starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, Simon McBurney, and Willem Dafoe, Nosferatu is a love letter to classic horror that’s sure to send a chill down your spine. Here’s what you need to know about where to watch the 2024 Nosferatu movie, and when we expect to see the 2024 Nosferatu movie streaming on Peacock.

Where to watch the 2024 Nosferatu movie:

Nosferatu will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Wednesday, December 25, aka Christmas Day. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Nosferatu is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.

Is Nosferatu (2024) streaming on Netflix or HBO Max?

Nosferatu is not streaming on Netflix or Max, and likely will not be on Netflix or Max any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Universal release. Almost all Universal movies go to the NBCUniversal streaming platform, Peacock. If you want to watch Nosferatu 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 Peacock.

Is Nosferatu 2024 streaming on Peacock?

Nosferatu is not yet streaming on Peacock. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Nosferatu streaming on Peacock eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another Universal release, Speak No Evil, began streaming on Peacock on December 6, which was about three months after the movie opened in theaters, and about two months after the film released on digital.

If Nosferatu follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital by January 2025, and streaming on Peacock around March 2025.

This is all speculation. Universal has not had a consistent digital release strategy. If you want to watch Nosferatu movie right away, you can catch the movie in theaters.
