The Kingsman franchise’s 2021 prequel film, The King’s Man, is finally available for streaming. Matthew Vaughn’s The King’s Man comes four years after Kingsman: The Golden Circle, but serves as a prequel origin story for the independent spy ring set 100 years prior to the first film. The King’s Man received an exclusive theatrical premiere on December 22, 2021, though was largely shut out at the box office by Disney’s billion-dollar-earning Spider-Man: No Way Home.

While the Kingsman films are now owned by Disney after its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, The King’s Man’s initial streaming home won’t be exclusive to the company’s services. Instead, the film will go through the streaming schedule in its prior contract while also landing on Disney-owned services. The King’s Man’s release repeats the streaming confusion surrounding Disney-acquired 2021 films like The Last Duel, Nightmare Alley, The French Dispatch, and Free Guy.

Although The King’s Man initially would have had an exclusive HBO Max streaming debut due to WarnerMedia’s prior contract with 20th Century Fox, Disney came to an agreement with the company to allow for a shared release with certain titles. As such, the Disney-acquired, Best Picture-nominated Nightmare Alley also received a collaborative streaming release for both Hulu and HBO Max in the US on February 3, 2022. With multiple avenues for watching The King’s Man online for free, here’s everywhere the movie is available in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada.

Where To Watch The King’s Man In The US

Although Disney may eventually acquire exclusive streaming rights as the home of The King’s Man, the film is available to stream for no additional cost to subscribers of HBO Max on Friday, February 18, 2022. Disney will still have some streaming control over the Kingsman prequel movie, as The King’s Man also drops for free on Hulu on February 18. It’s unclear when (or if) The King’s Man spy movie will ever drop on Disney+ due to its R rating, so, for now, its online streaming home under Disney is on Hulu.

Where To Watch The King’s Man In The UK

The UK is ahead of the game, as The King’s Man has been streaming on Disney+ under the Star section since February 9. The King’s Man will remain on Disney+ in the UK, and is the only place to stream it for free under a subscription service. Since neither Hulu nor HBO Max is available in the United Kingdom, a subscription to Disney+ is the only way to watch The King’s Man for no additional cost.

Where To Watch The King’s Man In Canada

Since Hulu and HBO Max are also not available in Canada, the only place to watch Matthew Vaughn’s The King’s Man online for free is through Disney+. While the UK received an earlier streaming release of the film, The King’s Man doesn’t drop on Disney+ in Canada for free until February 18 to coincide with the US streaming release date.
