Picture: DreamWorks Animation
The new all-singing and all-dancing DreamWorks movie based on the classic toy franchise hit theaters worldwide in late 2023, and if you plan on watching Trolls Band Together on Netflix, those in the US will be able to do so starting from July 2024 when it leaves Peacock. Here’s the Netflix streaming release schedule for Trolls Band Together.
Trolls Band Together is the third movie in the Trolls franchise, following Trolls in 2016 and Trolls World Tour in 2020. Poppy discovers that Branch and his brothers were once part of a boy band called BroZone. After Floyd is kidnapped, Branch and Poppy embark on a journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd.
The sequel sees the return of much of the original voice cast and some newcomers. Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Camila Cabello, Eric André, Kid Cudi, and Troye Sivan.
The movie was released theatrically on October 20th, 2023, in international regions and started its theatrical run in the USA on November 17th, 2023.
When will Trolls Band Together be on Netflix US?
Let’s begin with the US, where the movie will be streaming from July 15th, 2024.
We know this because of the deal Netflix struck with Universal and its animation and live-action divisions in 2021. The deal covers all of Universal’s animation division’s output, which includes projects from DreamWorks and Illumination. Netflix has part of the first pay window, which covers 18 months in total with Netflix having the middle portion of that window with Peacock owning four months on either side.
The graph below shows that Netflix will get the movie for ten months after its 4-month stint on Peacock.
Timeline of DreamWorks movies coming to Netflix US
Peacock began streaming the movie on March 15th, 2024, and those four months are coming to an end, with Netflix set to stream the movie between July 15th, 2024, through May 15th, 2025, when it’ll then head back to Peacock.
When will Trolls: Band Together be on Netflix Internationally?
Sadly, we haven’t announced deals in international territories like the US, so we will have to guess based on when older DreamWorks titles are currently landing on Netflix in those territories. Let’s use Minions: The Rise of Gru as an example.
Netflix Australia and Netflix South Korea are like Netflix US because they hold the first window rights. In this case, we’d expect it to arrive in those two countries in Spring 2024.
Based on current examples, France and Belgium will arrive in late 2024.
All other regions will likely have to wait beyond 2025.
For DreamWorks Netflix fans, there is plenty else to look forward to while waiting for Trolls: Band Together to hit Netflix. Coming up is the Christmas spin-off to The Bad Guys, due out on November 30th, and in 2024, we’ll see the exclusive release of Orion and the Dark on Netflix. On television, you’ve got a new spin-off to Jurassic World to look forward to, as well as new seasons of Gabby’s Dollhouse, Dew Drop Diaries, and Not Quite Narwhal.
