Where Can You Watch There Will Be Blood (2007)? Check Streaming, Rental, Purchase, and Legal Free Options

There Will Be Blood (2007) streams on Paramount+ in the US, available with either the ad-supported Essential tier or the ad-free Premium tier. Viewers without a subscription can rent or buy it digitally on several platforms, or watch it free through a library-card-based service. Paul Thomas Anderson's oil-drama epic, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, is not locked to one platform. Depending on what a viewer already pays for, the cheapest and fastest option changes, so the choice comes down to matching the available paths to the right account.

Streaming with a Paramount+ Subscription

Paramount+ is the primary home for the film in the US, according to the aggregator JustWatch. Both the ad-supported Essential plan and the ad-free Premium plan carry it, so the choice between the two comes down to whether a viewer wants to pay more to skip commercials.

Anyone who already subscribes to Paramount+ for other shows or movies gets this one included at no extra cost. That makes it the simplest route for existing subscribers, since there's nothing new to buy or rent.

Watching Through an Add-On Channel or Bundle

Viewers who don't want a standalone Paramount+ account have two other paths into the same content. The film is reachable through a Paramount+ add-on channel purchased inside Amazon Prime Video, and through a Paramount+ Roku Premium Channel subscription, per the JustWatch listing.

Both work as a channel subscription layered on top of an existing Amazon or Roku account, rather than a separate Paramount+ sign-up. The film also appears in the on-demand library of fuboTV, a live-TV streaming bundle built mainly for sports and news channels. That's a reasonable option only for someone who already subscribes to fuboTV for its channel lineup, since signing up solely for one movie wouldn't make financial sense.

Renting or Buying the Movie Digitally

For viewers who prefer to pay once rather than subscribe, the film is available to rent or purchase as a digital download across several major storefronts. JustWatch lists it on Amazon Video, the Apple TV app, Fandango At Home (the service formerly known as Vudu), FlixFling, and Spectrum On Demand. Amazon's own product page confirms the rental-or-purchase option directly, separate from any Paramount+ channel add-on, and lists the film's MPAA rating as R, per Amazon's Prime Video listing.

That rating reflects the film's violence and language, worth noting for anyone choosing what to watch with family. Microsoft also runs its own storefront for the title, confirming it as an active purchase option for Xbox and Windows users outside the Apple, Amazon, and Vudu ecosystems, according to the Microsoft Store listing. That's useful for anyone already invested in an Xbox or Windows account who would rather buy through a storefront they already use.

  • Rent or buy on Amazon Video
  • Rent or buy on the Apple TV app
  • Rent or buy on Fandango At Home
  • Rent or buy on FlixFling
  • Rent or buy through Spectrum On Demand

Watching for Free with a Library Card

Kanopy is a streaming service that many US public libraries and universities offer free to cardholders, and it carries There Will Be Blood as a cataloged title. Multiple library catalog records, including those from the Metropolitan Library System, Payson Library, and Marshall Lyon Library, confirm the film is listed as a Kanopy Streaming Video title, per the Metropolitan Library System's Kanopy record.

Access through Kanopy isn't automatic for everyone. The film only plays for free if a viewer's specific local library or university subscribes to Kanopy and issues the login that unlocks it, so availability depends on the individual account rather than the title itself, according to the same Metropolitan Library System record. Checking a library's website for a Kanopy link, or logging in with an existing card, is the fastest way to find out.

Choosing the Right Option

Which path makes sense depends mostly on what a viewer already has access to. The practical hierarchy, based on cost and reliability, runs roughly like this: A claim that the film streams free with ads on Pluto TV has circulated online, but it traces to an undated roundup article whose catalog listings rotate by licensing window, so it shouldn't be treated as a dependable current option, per the TechRadar roundup. Kanopy remains the only confirmed no-cost legal route, and it depends entirely on having the right library card.

  • Already subscribe to Paramount+: watch it included, no extra charge.
  • Subscribe to Amazon Prime, Roku, or fuboTV but not Paramount+ directly: use the relevant add-on channel or bundle library instead of starting a new standalone subscription.
  • Want to avoid any subscription: rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango At Home, FlixFling, Spectrum On Demand, or the Microsoft Store.
  • Have an active public library or university card: check for Kanopy access before paying anything.
