You can stream Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson's ensemble murder-mystery about detective Benoit Blanc investigating a novelist's death, on subscription services, free with ads, or through digital rental and purchase. Your cheapest path depends on which subscriptions you already hold and whether you accept commercial breaks. Subscription listings vary by guide and date, so check your apps before paying. Free-with-ads options rotate, while rental and purchase listings stay more stable across major storefronts.

Where can you stream it with a subscription?
JustWatch's U.S. guide lists Knives Out streaming on fuboTV and Lionsgate+ via Amazon Channel JustWatch U.S. listing. Moviefone lists Peacock Premium, Peacock Premium Plus, YouTube TV, and the Lionsgate+ Amazon Channel among streaming options Moviefone where-to-watch guide.
The difference reflects rotating bundles and channel add-ons. If you already pay for one of those services, start there. Check whether access requires a base plan plus an add-on channel, especially for Lionsgate+ through Amazon. YouTube TV is a live-TV bundle, so it suits pay-TV subscribers more than on-demand-only viewers.
Can you watch it free legally?
Yes, free-with-ads versions have appeared on several services. JustWatch lists The Roku Channel as a free-with-ads option in the United States.
PopCulture reported Tubi added the film in January 2024 as a free-with-commercials title, with Daniel Craig as Blanc investigating novelist Christopher Plummer's death. TechRadar also featured it among free movies on Tubi and Pluto TV, describing it as a 130-minute Rian Johnson mystery. Free availability rotates, so search Roku, Tubi, and Pluto TV directly before renting.
How much do rental and purchase cost?
Digital rental starts at $3.99, according to Moviefone. KinoCheck prices U.S.
rental at $3.99 and purchase at $14.99 in SD, HD, and 4K on Amazon Video and Apple TV, with 4K confirmed KinoCheck provider table. JustWatch also names Fandango at Home, FlixFling, and Plex among rental storefronts. For most viewers, the practical choice is: Purchase costs more upfront but avoids repeat rental fees and rotation risk.
- Rent in HD for one viewing when you lack a qualifying subscription
- Buy in 4K only if you plan repeat viewings or want extras
- Compare Amazon Video and Apple TV first because both list all three formats
Why isn't it with the sequels on Netflix?
Glass Onion (2022) and Wake Up Dead Man (2025) stream on Netflix, while the original 2019 Lionsgate film streams elsewhere such as Prime Video. Netflix alone therefore does not cover all three films in the series.
That split matters for a franchise marathon. Watch the first film through a subscription, free service, rental, or purchase listed above, then switch to Netflix for the sequels. Confirm each title in its app on viewing day because licensing windows change.
