Is 'The Crow' Streaming? Where To Watch the Long-Awaited Reboot (2024)

The Crow is making a long-awaited return to movie screens thirty years after the original film, with Bill Skarsgård now taking the reins as the vengeance-fueled undead vigilante. A reboot of The Crow has been in development hell for quite some time, and that's hardly surprising given the franchise's complicated history. While the 1994 original is generally considered a positively-received cult classic, it also has a legacy shrouded in infamy given the film's star, Brandon Lee, was tragically killed in an on-set accident during filming.

The new adaptation from director Rupert Sanders will be setting itself apart from the original film by delving more into the mythology and origins behind the titular Crow. It's a journey that begins when the character of Eric (Bill Skarsgård) is forced to watch his beloved wife, Shelly (FKA Twigs), become a murder victim before his very eyes. Eric is killed as well, but he's soon revived as a vengeful and virtually indestructible vigilante, who vows to hunt down the people responsible for killing him and his wife. Wondering when, where, and how you can see this dramatic reinvention of a beloved anti-hero unfold? Read below to find out where you can watch The Crow.

Is 'The Crow' Streaming?

The Crow may soon become available to stream online, but today is not that day. Eric's quest for vengeance will not be streaming when the film officially debuts this late August. That being said, since The Crow is a production of Lionsgate, we have a fairly good idea of where the film will be streaming after its theatrical run concludes.

In 2022, Lionsgate inked a deal with NBCUniversal to bring its new releases to the NBCU-backed streaming platform of Peacock. The deal officially goes into effect this year in 2024, so that all-but-confirms that The Crow will be coming to Peacock at a later date. Peacock currently has two subscription plans available: Premium and Premium Plus. You can find a full breakdown of each plan, along with their features and pricing, in the following table below:

Watch the Trailer for 'The Crow'

The official trailer for The Crow was released on March 14, 2024, introducing this dramatic reinvention of a classic story. As one might expect, the trailer begins with Eric and Shelly living their happily married lives together. That changes when Shelly accidentally witnesses a heinous crime committed by Vincent Roeg (Danny Huston), who then orders his minions to kill Eric and Shelly. While Shelly perishes, Eric returns to the mortal world as a resurrected vigilante, coming back as a practically indestructible anti-hero. Thus begins one man's quest for vengeance against the people who took away his happily ever after.

What Is 'The Crow' About?

The official synopsis for The Crow reads as follows:

Soulmates Eric and Shelly are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.

Is the Original 'The Crow' Streaming Online?

Although it still serves as a cautionary tale for safe conditions when making a major motion picture, The Crow is still a worthy and influentially dark superhero tale. Following the same general premise of the upcoming reboot, the gritty revenge tale follows Eric as he tracks down the gang of violent thugs that broke into his apartment and killed him and his wife. What sets the film apart from other similar revenge stories and superhero films, in general, is Brandon Lee's performance as the title character, who is brimming with charisma and personality, even if that does make the actor's untimely demise making the movie all the more tragic.

The Crow 1994 is currently available to stream on Prime Video.
