We’re just days away from the seventh Mission: Impossible movie dropping in movie theaters. Dead Reckoning Part One brings back a familiar face from Ethan Hunt’s past: Eugene Kittridge. In true series fashion, Hunt going rogue can take them down opposing paths.
If you want a reminder of the previous movies then you’re in luck: we’ve put together a quick guide on how to watch the Mission: Impossible movies in order and where to stream them in the US and UK. We have a similar guide to watch the Marvel movies in order.
You can also find out when Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will be available to stream.
How to watch the Mission: Impossible movies in order
The order for watching the Mission: Impossible movies is simple – you just follow the release dates:
- Mission: Impossible (1996)
- Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)
- Mission: Impossible III (2006)
- Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)
- Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015)
- Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
- Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (forthcoming – 2023)
- Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two (forthcoming – 2024)
Note that this list is for the Tom Cruise movies only. For all this, there’s the TV series (and some movie) that largely follow IMF director Jim Phelps – a character played by several different actors over the years. The films that follow Ethan Hunt work as a kind of sequel to these stories.
They’re not required to watch, but here are the release dates (which put them before the list above):
- Mission: Impossible (1966-1973)
- Mission: Impossible vs. the Mafia (1969)
- Mission: Impossible (1988–1990)
How to watch the Mission: Impossible movies in the US
In the US, the easiest way to watch all Mission: Impossible movies is to stream them on Paramount+. Accounts cost $5.99 to run with ads and $11.99 to run without ads with Showtime content. The 1960s television series are also on this platform. You can also get Paramount+ through Amazon channels.
New users can get a seven-day free trial, although Paramount+ sometimes offers promotions of up to a month at no extra cost. The free streaming service Pluto also has Rogue Nation available to watch.
Mission: Impossible vs. the Mafia and the 1980s Mission: Impossible series are not available on Paramount+, so you’ll have to rent or buy them.
You can get all the other Mission: Impossible episodes from, among others Prime videoGoogle Play and YouTube.
How to watch the Mission: Impossible movies in the UK
UK viewers can watch all Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible movies on Paramount+ (£6.99 a month with a seven-day free trial), as well as Sky’s streaming service Now via the Cinema membership, priced at £9.99 a month.

In addition, Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible II, and Mission: Impossible III can all be streamed for free on the Channel 4 streaming service. You can also get Paramount+ through Amazon Channels.
Again, the Jim Phelps saga isn’t available on streaming services, so you’ll have to buy or rent them.
