When could Wonka be available on VOD?
There are rumors that Wonka will be released in mid-to-late January on VOD, but at the moment we cannot verify them. These dates would make sense, given that Warner generally distributes its blockbusters to VOD platforms about a month after their release.
That said, Wonka continues to perform well, so the wait could be longer. We’ll update this article when we have more information, but you can still pre-order it on Prime Video in the US (for $24.99) or on Prime Video and iTunes in the UK (for £19.99 ).

When might Wonka be available to stream in the US and UK?
Wonka’s streaming release date has not yet been confirmed. However, based on previous releases like Barbie, we expect it to land sometime in the spring.
In the United States, Wonka will surely arrive at Max, the streaming house of Warner Bros. productions. The basic ad-supported subscription costs $9.99 per month/$99.99 per year, although ad-free options are also available.
UK-based viewers will likely see Wonka on Now and Sky Cinema, the two platforms that usually receive new releases from Warner Bros, given that Max isn’t available here. A Now Cinema subscription costs £9.99 per month. However, there are often discounts for new customers.
