Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Streaming Release Date

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is not currently available to stream, and there’s been no word from Warner Bros. on when it will eventually be released. However, given it’s a Warner Bros. movie, we know Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will eventually be released on Max, rather than Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+.

Warner’s last three DC movies came to Max 91 days (Blue Beetle), 70 days (The Flash), and 67 days (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) after their theatrical debuts. Should Warner and DC stick to this window, you can expect Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom to hit Max between late February and March 2024.

What Is Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom About?

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a sequel to 2018’s Jason Momoa-led Aquaman. Here’s the offical synopsis from Warner:

Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.
