Table of Contents The best streaming deals to watch ‘M3GAN’:

Everyone’s new favorite murderous doll (sorry, Chucky) is back for another round. M3GAN dominated the box office in its first go, and M3GAN 2.0, which hits theaters later this month, is expected to do the same. This time around, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) is forced to resurrect her after a new AI bot, Amelia (created using the same technology that made M3GAN), becomes a threat to all of humanity. M3GAN 2.0 is faster, stronger, and of course, taller, but otherwise the same dancing diva AI doll you’ve come to love.

Before you grab your crew and head to the theater this summer for the sequel, you may want to rewatch the original M3GAN — here’s what you need to know.

When does M3GAN 2.0 come out?M3GAN 2.0 hits theaters June 27, 2025, about a year and a half after the AI doll’s first murder spree. That gives you some time to brush up on the events of M3GAN before heading to the theater.

Pre-sale tickets are already available at Fandango, and you’re encouraged to bring a friend. When you buy one ticket, you’ll get a second one for free through June 27.

Check out the official trailer for a glimpse at what’s to come. Yes, there’s more dancing.

Where is M3GAN streaming?While M3GAN spent some time on Peacock (which makes sense, as it’s a Universal Pictures film), it’s now streaming exclusively on Starz. As a lesser-known streaming service, there are fewer options for deals, but they do still exist. Check out the best options as of June 5 below.

Don’t want to sign up for another streaming service? You can also rent or purchase M3GAN on digital on-demand retailers like Prime Video or Fandango at Home. Here are some quick links if you choose that route.

Note: Rentals give you 30 days to watch and just 48 hours to finish once you begin.

The best Starz streaming dealsBest overall: Save $28 on a 6-month subscription A Starz subscription usually costs $10.99 per month or $45.99 for a six-month subscription, but with this deal, the price falls to only $17.99 total for six months. That’s equal to just $3 per month and saves you $28. In this day and age, $3 per month is a steal for a streaming service.

Second-best deal: Save $7 per month for 3 months If you don’t want to commit to half of a year of streaming on Starz, you can opt for a three-month subscription instead and pay just $3.99 per month. That’s still $7 per month in savings or $21 total across three months.

Free trial: Sign up for the Starz Prime Video add-on If you don’t want to spend a dime watching M3GAN and you’re already a Prime Video member, you can sign up for the Starz add-on through Prime Video and get a seven-day trial for free. After the trial runs out, you’ll be charged the full $10.99 per month fee, so be sure to cancel ahead of time to avoid it.
