“M3GAN 2.0” Sets Peacock Streaming Release Date
3 mins read
Fans of Universal’s hit horror sequel won’t have to wait much longer to stream M3GAN 2.0 from home. The studio has announced that both the theatrical cut and the unrated version will debut on Peacock starting September 26. Before arriving on streaming, the film will also be released on 4K UHD and Blu-ray on September 23, giving collectors a chance to own the movie just days ahead of its digital debut.
M3GAN 2.0 first premiered in theaters on June 27, quickly becoming one of the year’s most talked-about horror films. It later became available for digital rental and purchase on July 15. With the upcoming Peacock release, the movie completes its rollout across platforms in just three months from its theatrical launch.
One of the biggest draws for fans has been Violet McGraw’s performance as Cady. Now 14, Violet has returned in M3GAN 2.0 with noticeably more depth in her portrayal as her character navigates the aftermath of the first film. She has said she feels like she “grew up with Cady,” and this sequel gave her a chance to take on more emotionally complex material.
Outside of M3GAN, Violet continues to build an impressive career. She is starring alongside her sister Madeleine in the upcoming action comedy High Stakes Holiday, and earlier this year she appeared in Marvel’s Thunderbolts as a young version of Yelena Belova. At San Diego Comic-Con this summer, Violet and Madeleine shared exclusive glimpses of their experiences, underscoring just how much their fan following has grown.
On the set of M3GAN 2.0, Violet has spoken about her bond with Allison Williams, who plays her aunt Gemma. The two would often sing Taylor Swift songs together between takes to lighten the mood during filming, a tradition that helped balance the darker scenes with moments of fun.
The release of M3GAN 2.0 on Peacock is notable for offering fans both the standard theatrical version and the unrated cut, letting viewers choose their preferred experience. Peacock’s expanding slate of exclusive films continues to make it a must-have platform for genre fans, while the physical editions arriving days earlier will give collectors a chance to enjoy extra features.
Universal’s release strategy highlights a familiar timeline of theatrical premiere, digital rollout, physical media, and then streaming availability. M3GAN 2.0 follows that pattern and arrives on Peacock on September 26, giving audiences the chance to revisit the chilling story while also spotlighting Violet McGraw, whose rising career ensures we’ll be seeing much more of her in the years ahead.
