Intro: Where to Stream A24 Films
As a studio that’s independent from any major media conglomerate, A24 has struck out on its own and developed a cult following in the process. Dubbed “cinema’s coolest studio” by Esquire, A24 is known for its daring, if not sometimes polarizing, arthouse faire.
As a private company, their work in film and television isn’t limited to a single streaming service but can be found scattered across multiple outlets. Here we’ve compiled a roadmap of sorts, that tells you exactly where you can stream A24 films online, including some free options.

Showtime
For most of the A24 theatrical releases through mid-2022, you’ll need a subscription to Showtime. You can purchase Showtime on its own, or as a bundle with Paramount+. Later this year, Showtime and Paramount+ will merge together (find out more on this here).
Showtime is the only on-demand streaming service (at the time of publication) that includes movies such as Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, X, After Yang, Men, Lamb, Zola, Minari, The Green Knight, and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
There are just under 50 movies total that you can find on Showtime. You'll also find A24-produced television series such as Ziwe, Moonbase 8, and the upcoming series The Curse starring Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone.
HBO Max
You can find a selection of A24 movies from 2016 and earlier on the soon-to-be rebranded streaming service that’s s known (for now) as HBO Max.
These include Green Room, The Witch, Tusk, Ex-Machina, Under the Skin, Amy, and The Spectacular Now. There’s also movies and TV shows made exclusively for HBO and HBO Max such as Native Son, Euphoria, Irma Vep, and the upcoming series The Idol.
