It’s been a while since Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic, hit the box office. In the film, Michael’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who plays the titular character, lets fans experience the late musician’s rise to fame and his journey to becoming the King of Pop. Jaafar also sings Michael’s hits, like “Thriller,” “Beat It,” and more—giving the movie a musical element, too.
Given the movie's continued success, grossing more than $1 billion in theaters, according to The Hollywood Reporter, fans will likely want to know whether Michael will be available to stream at home.
Is Michael streaming?
Starting on August 10, 2026, fans will be able to watch Michael on Starz and all of the channel’s streaming/on-demand platforms before it eventually transitions to Amazon Prime Video.
