How to watch Wonka now
At the time of writing, you can only watch Wonka in cinemas. In the UK, it opened on 8 December 2023, and in the US it debuted on 15 December 2023.
You can watch the trailer below:
When will Wonka be available on VOD?
Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that Wonka will be available to rent and buy digitally in the UK on 22 January 2024. We are still waiting on the US release date – the film released a little later here, so a different date makes sense, but we imagine it will be soon.
You can pre-order it on Prime Video in the US (for $24.99) or Prime Video and iTunes in the UK (for £19.99).
When could Wonka release on DVD/Blu-ray?
Wonka will release on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on 4 March 2024. We don’t yet have the American release date, but it’s likely it will arrive in March as well.
The film is already available for pre-order. In the UK, you can find it on hmv.com – the DVD edition is priced at £9.99. In the USA, you can pre-order Wonka on Amazon – the DVD is priced at $19.96, and Blu-ray costs $24.96
When could Wonka be available to stream in the US and UK?
The streaming release date for Wonka hasn’t been confirmed yet. However, based on previous releases like Barbie, we expect it to land sometime in the spring.
In the US, Wonka will surely hit Max, the streaming home of Warner Bros. productions. The basic ad-supported subscription costs $9.99 per month/$99.99 per year, though there are ad-free options available too.
UK-based viewers will likely see Wonka on Now and Sky Cinema, the two platforms that typically get new releases from Warner Bros seeing as Max isn’t available here. A Now Cinema Membership costs £9.99 per month. However, there are often discounts for new customers.
