Will “After Everything” Grace Netflix? A Deep Dive into the Final Chapter

So, you’re wondering if the steamy conclusion to the “After” saga, “After Everything,” will be available on Netflix? The answer, unfortunately, isn’t a straightforward yes or no. While previous “After” films have found their way onto the streaming giant, “After Everything’s” Netflix fate is currently unconfirmed, and highly unlikely, for the US market. There are various factors at play here that influence its potential arrival, which we’ll unpack in detail. Buckle up, Hardinians, let’s dissect the streaming landscape and see what the future holds for Hardin and Tessa on our screens.

Understanding Distribution Rights and Streaming Deals

The world of film distribution is a complex tapestry woven with various agreements and exclusive licenses. Just because previous films in a franchise landed on a particular streaming service doesn’t guarantee the same for subsequent installments.

The Shifting Sands of Streaming

Streaming deals are negotiated individually for each film, often region by region. What might hold true for the US market could be entirely different for Europe, South America, or Asia. This means “After Everything” might be available on Netflix in some countries but not in others. The decision rests with Voltage Pictures, the production company, and their strategic partnerships with various streaming services.

Lionsgate’s Involvement & Potential Streaming Homes

While Voltage Pictures handles international distribution, Lionsgate is the distributor in the USA. Lionsgate has their own streaming service called Lionsgate+ (formerly Starz), which is where the film is already available for subscribers. It’s quite rare for Lionsgate to release their films on a competing platform like Netflix whilst they have their own streaming platform to promote. So the more likely streaming homes for “After Everything” in the US would be Lionsgate+ or Starz.

Examining Past “After” Films on Netflix

Looking at the history of previous “After” films on Netflix gives us some clues, but it’s vital to remember that past performance doesn’t guarantee future results.

A Look Back at Previous “After” Movie Release Patterns

“After” (2019): This first film did make its way onto Netflix in various regions.
“After We Collided” (2020): Similarly, this sequel also enjoyed a stint on Netflix.
“After We Fell” (2021): This film, too, was available on Netflix in certain territories.
“After Ever Happy” (2022): And finally, this was available on Netflix as well.

However, the release schedules varied significantly, and the timing of their appearance on Netflix was often unpredictable.

Why the Change in Streaming Strategies?

The entertainment industry has evolved dramatically in recent years. The rise of numerous streaming platforms, each vying for exclusive content, has led to a more fragmented landscape. Production companies are now more inclined to prioritize their own streaming services or strike exclusive deals with specific platforms to maximize profits and subscriber growth. This is why Lionsgate is more likely to keep “After Everything” within its own ecosystem (Lionsgate+ or Starz).

What are Your Viewing Options?

If Netflix is off the cards (at least for now), don’t despair! There are still several ways to catch “After Everything.”

Streaming Alternatives

Lionsgate+ (Formerly Starz): This is currently the most likely place you’ll find “After Everything,” especially in the US.
Amazon Prime Video: Keep an eye on Amazon Prime Video. While it might not be available for free streaming, it’s possible it will become available to rent or buy.
Other Streaming Services: Stay vigilant! Check other popular streaming platforms like Hulu, Apple TV+, and Vudu.

Digital Purchase Options

Apple TV/iTunes: You can purchase the movie digitally on platforms like Apple TV.
Google Play Movies: Google Play Movies is another digital marketplace where you might find “After Everything” for purchase.
Vudu: Vudu often offers new releases for digital purchase or rental.
