When is 'Karate Kid: Legends' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
It's been decades since 'The Karate Kid' crane-kicked its way into pop culture history, and now the beloved franchise is back with a brand-new chapter. 'Karate Kid: Legends' hit theaters on May 30, raking in $21 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. While it didn't manage to top 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' or Disney's 'Lilo & Stitch' live-action remake, it still packed enough punch to get fans talking. Directed by Jonathan Entwistle, 'Legends' brings together martial arts icons Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio alongside a new generation hero — Li Fong, played by the talented Ben Wang. The result is a fast-paced, feel-good action-comedy that doesn't aim for perfection, but hits its stride with charm. Sure, it could've used more time with its legendary masters and a little breathing room between brawls, but thanks to Wang's charismatic lead performance, 'Karate Kid: Legends' earns its spot in the franchise. So, when can you catch all the action from the comfort of your own home? Here's our best guess at when 'Karate Kid: Legends' could be available to stream. Sony hasn't confirmed when 'Karate Kid: Legends' will be available to stream, but we can make an educated guess based on the studio's recent 2025 release schedule. So far this year, Sony has followed a fairly consistent PVOD pattern of about 4 to 5 weeks after a movie's theatrical debut. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For example, 'Until Dawn' hit theaters on April 25 and arrived on PVOD just under a month later, on May 23. 'Heart Eyes' had a similar turnaround, going from theaters on February 7 to PVOD on March 4 (a 26-day window). 'Paddington in Peru' took slightly longer, premiering February 14 and hitting digital platforms by April 1 (a gap of about six and a half weeks). Given that 'Karate Kid: Legends' was released on May 30, a similar release window could point to a potential PVOD debut around Tuesday, July 8, 2025. However, it's important to note that these dates are purely speculative and could change based on how well the movie performs in the coming weeks. Following its PVOD release, 'Karate Kid: Legends' is expected to make its streaming debut on Netflix, thanks to Sony's ongoing Pay 1 deal with the platform. Historically, Sony titles appear on Netflix around 3 to 4 months after their theatrical release, specifically on a Thursday. Based on that trend, I predict 'Karate Kid: Legends' to arrive on Netflix sometime between late August and early September 2025. A rough estimate would be around Thursday, September 4, 2025, keeping in line with Sony's typical release pattern. Again, this date could change depending on the success of this standalone sequel and whether Sony wants to push for an earlier streaming debut. So, if you're waiting to stream the latest karate showdown from the comfort of your home, late summer to early fall is your best bet.

Squid Game star ‘nervous' for final season as trailer drops for hit series
Squid Game lead Lee Jung Jae said he was 'nervous' about the forthcoming season as Netflix dropped the final trailer of the hit series. In the trailer for the third and final season, Lee's Gi Hun, or Player 456, is still searching for answers as the games continue after his failed rebellion at the end of the second season which leads to the death of his friend Jung Bae, played by Lee Seo Hwan, at the hands of Lee Byung Hun's The Front Man. 'We are going to be releasing quite soon and I am very nervous. I know that a lot of you out there are curious about what's going to happen in season three, but all of us are more curious about how much you're going to enjoy it. So, I can't wait, I'm very nervous,' Lee told The Hollywood Reporter at Netflix's Tudum event on Saturday. Fans reacted with excitement and trepidation as they scoured the trailer for clues about whether their favourite characters would survive the games. NAMGYU FINALIST?? IM GOING TO THROW UP — namgyuHUGGER#1 (@th2ngyuri) June 1, 2025 Protect her😭😭😭 — Shrooq (@shrooq63_13) June 1, 2025 Give my babies myunggi and junhee their happy ending that's all I'm asking for — 𝑳𝒆𝒂 || STREAM TILT (@reveswan_) June 1, 2025 my honest reaction after watching the trailer for Squid Game 3: — 𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐀(𝐣𝐮𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞) (@ANN_R1ZUN4) June 2, 2025 The second season of Squid Game was watched a record-breaking 68 million times in the first four days after its launch on Netflix on Boxing Day. Its viewership in premiere week beat that of Jenna Ortega thriller Wednesday, which had raked up 50.1 million views on release in 2022. Squid Games follows hundreds of cash-strapped people as they compete in deadly games for a life-changing sum of money, and their lives. 'Can Squid Game capture lightning in a bottle for a second time? Well, yes and no. It is impossible to replicate the shock of that first outing, and Hwang Dong Hyuk does well not to try. Instead, his script finds the horror in witnessing the brutality again, through the eyes of Lee Jung Jae who returns in his Emmy-winning lead role,' Annabel Nugent noted in a four-star review of the second season for The Independent. 'As reluctant hero Seong Gi Hun, he's easy to root for – all weary-eyed empathy and straight-arrow justice.' The third season is set to release on 27 June.

Netflix Reveals Release Date and Teaser for 'Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery'
Summary Netflixhas pulled back the curtain on the highly anticipated third installment ofRian Johnson'sKnives Outfranchise, officially titledWake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. The first tantalizing teaser trailer was unveiled on during Netflix's global fan event, Tudum 2025. The brief but atmospheric teaser sets a distinctly darker and more gothic tone for Benoit Blanc's (Daniel Craig) latest whodunnit. While plot details are being kept tightly under wraps, the trailer hints at an 'impossible crime' and a setting that appears to lean into religious imagery, possibly a church, suggesting a morally layered or even supernatural mystery. Daniel Craig returns as the charming Southern detective, promising to unravel what he describes as his 'most dangerous case yet.' Wake Up Dead Manboasts another star-studded ensemble cast joining Craig, including Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close,Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis,Jeremy Renner,Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church. Speculation is already rife that Cailee Spaeny's character, Simone Vivane, might be the central murder victim, given her notable absence from more prominent trailer shots. Fans won't have to wait too long to see Benoit Blanc back in Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mysteryis slated to premiere globally on Netflix on December 12, 2025.
