Ever since Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights was announced, almost everything about the Saltburn filmmaker’s retelling of Emily Brontë’s Gothic novel has sparked backlash.

From the casting of Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie and the costumes, to the Charli xcx-penned soundtrack and the film’s overtly erotic tone, the film has certainly been dividing opinions.

With so much buzz around the film – both positive and negative – it’s hardly surprising that the film has proved to be a huge box-office success, raking in $83 million worldwide on its opening weekend, which marks the biggest global debut of the year to date.

But if you don’t fancy watching the film in cinemas, you might be wondering when it’s set to become available to stream from the comfort of your own home.

Read on for everything you need to know about the release of Wuthering Heights.

When is Wuthering Heights coming to streaming?

As with all Warner Bros cinematic releases, the film will eventually be released on HBO Max in the US – and with that platform finally launching on this side of the Atlantic next month (available as a bundle with Sky and NOW) it seems likely that will be the case in the UK too.

The exact date for it's HBO Max premiere is less certain, but Warner Bros tend to wait around two or three months between theatrical release and streaming debut, so we'd probably be looking at late April or early May before you can watch the film on streaming. Should we get more concrete details, we'll keep you updated.

Before the movie arrives on HBO Max, it will become available to buy or rent on platforms such as Prime Video and AppleTV.

There’s typically about a month to a six-week window between Warner Bros. films’ theatrical release and the moment they debut on digital platforms, meaning the earliest the film could become available on digital platforms is late March.

You can currently pre-order the film on Prime Video and AppleTV.

The film premiered exclusively in cinemas on Friday 13 February, and as such the only way to watch the film for the foreseeable future will be to take a trip to the pictures.

Luckily, there are no shortage of options: the movie is a major release and is playing in just about every cinema in the country following its release, so just check your local to find a time that suits you.
