Summary

  • Meg 2: The Trench is expected to release on streaming platform Max in mid-September 2023, following a 45-day period of cinema exclusivity.
  • The sequel is also likely to be available for streaming on Prime Video, although availability may vary by region.
  • For those who prefer owning or renting digitally, the release of Meg 2: The Trench is estimated to be in October 2023, with platforms such as Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play Movies, and YouTube offering the film.

With Meg 2: The Trench's theatrical release just around the corner, some may already be wondering when streaming will be available. This sequel follows the 2018 movie, The Meg, which received mixed reviews from critics and audiences but made big money at the box office. The first film features Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham), a deep-sea diver with expertise in search and rescue. After a research submarine is attacked by a Megalodon shark, Taylor embarks on a mission to stop the creature.

Meg 2: The Trench, based on the 1999 Steve Alten novel, The Trench, already teases sheer magnitude, refreshing humor, many familiar faces, and some new cast members. Some to look forward to are Mac (Cliff Curtis), DJ (Page Kennedy), and a newcomer to the franchise, Wu Jing (Wolf Warrior). For anyone not keen to crunch on some popcorn in a dark theater while a gigantic Meg (or three) pursues Statham on a jet ski, streaming and digital options may be best. Here's when Meg 2: The Trench will release on streaming.

Meg 2: The Trench Will Likely Release On Max In September 2023

While there are no official announcements yet, Meg 2: The Trench's debut on streaming services is expected. In 2021, Warner Bros. announced a shift from same-day Max and theatrical releases to a 45-day period of cinema exclusivity, as reported by THR. With this in mind, Meg 2: The Trench can likely be caught from home on Max in mid-September 2023. Another platform that may also have the sequel available for streaming is Prime Video, but this may differ per region.

Meg 2: The Trench Will Likely Release On Digital In October 2023

For anyone who doesn't have Max, can't wait to own the sequel digitally, or is eager to rent it, the wait may be slightly longer. Based on the digital release for the first movie, which was October 30, 2018, it's safe to assume the sequel's digital release will be around the same time this year. Since its theatrical premiere is in the same month the first movie made its way onto the big screen, the release schedule trend seems to be on track for the franchise. Like with the first movie, the sequel should be available for digital renting or purchase on Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play Movies, and YouTube.

Whichever platform or service chosen, Meg 2: The Trench should hopefully be on smaller screens not too long after it swims onto the big screen. Audiences can enjoy the seemingly self-aware and outrageous action that the Meg 2: The Trench trailer hints at, with Statham battling against the larger-than-life sea creatures, all from the comfort and safety of their couches.
