M. Night Shyamalan has directed 16 feature films from 1992 to 2024, and on October 12, 2026, 10 of them were streaming with a US subscription, 6 were free with ads somewhere, and 15 could be rented or bought digitally. Below is every one, from Praying with Anger to Trap, with the services carrying it on that date.
Streaming rights move as licensing deals end and start, so each title in the table links to its JustWatch page, which tracks US availability daily. The figures here all come from one check run on October 12, 2026.
Where to stream M. Night Shyamalan movies: the full list
The list follows the films marked “Director” on Shyamalan’s Rotten Tomatoes filmography. It leaves out Remain, which Rotten Tomatoes lists for 2027, and titles where he is credited only as a writer or producer, such as Caddo Lake, Devil and The Watchers. Years are the ones Rotten Tomatoes gives, so Split appears under 2017 even though JustWatch dates it 2016. Live-TV bundles, cable-login apps and disc sellers are excluded; “Rent or buy” lists the main digital stores.

Where the Unbreakable trilogy streams
His Rotten Tomatoes biography describes Glass (2019) as the third and final film in his “Unbreakable” trilogy, after Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2017). The casts overlap on JustWatch, too: The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Glass list Bruce Willis among their top-billed actors, and Split and Glass both list James McAvoy.
The trilogy is a good example of how scattered his catalog is. As of October 12, 2026, Unbreakable can only be rented or bought digitally, Split streams on Netflix (and free with ads on YouTube) and Glass can only be rented or bought digitally. Watching all three in order means combining services, renting, or both.

The hard-to-find ones
Praying with Anger (1992) has no US streaming, free or digital rental listing on JustWatch as of October 12, 2026. It is his first feature; according to his Rotten Tomatoes biography, he made it while studying at NYU, and it screened at film festivals but never received a distribution deal.
Three more had no subscription or free home on the check date, so renting or buying was the only way to stream them: Unbreakable, The Happening and Glass.
Shyamalan on screen, and other patterns in the credits
Rotten Tomatoes also lists him in the cast of five of the films he directed: Dev Raman in Praying with Anger, Dr. Hill in The Sixth Sense, Ray Reddy in Signs, Vick Ran in Lady in the Water and Joey in The Happening. Among the top-billed actors JustWatch lists, Joaquin Phoenix appears in Signs and The Village, and Bryce Dallas Howard in The Village and Lady in the Water.
By JustWatch’s runtimes, the longest of the 15 films it times is Glass at 2 hr 9 min, and the shortest is Wide Awake at 1 hr 28 min; watching them all back to back would take about 26 hours.
For a first pass, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and Split cover his best-known run. We have written about The Sixth Sense’s ending, its 1999 box office run and how it and The Blair Witch Project made less feel like more.
