Fans have been wondering where and when they would be able to watch Rob Zombie’s The Munsters adaptation ever since it was revealed. Today, the director confirmed that the movie will debut on Netflix this fall. The movie’s September release date was confirmed by a recent teaser, but it remained unclear if it will be released in theatres or on a streaming service. Some people speculated that the movie would be going to Peacock. Although he didn’t give a specific date, Zombie told his followers to look for it on Netflix later this year.
In the fall of 2022, Netflix will start streaming The Munsters, at least in the United States. A new revival of The Munsters, a CBS television series that aired in the middle of the 1960s, is most likely to arrive on Netflix in time for the Halloween season. The show was about a family of amiable monsters who go on misadventures but never quite figure out why people react to them in such an odd way.
The well-loved monster family is migrating from Transylvania to an American suburb in the new film, which was written and directed by Zombie.
Jeff Herman Munster will be played by Daniel Phillips, Lily Munster by Sheri Moon Zombie, Grandpa Munster by Daniel Roebuck, and Barbara Carr by Cassandra Peterson.
As Zombie notes, a Netflix original series based on The Addams Family is also scheduled to debut on Wednesday. It seems like The Munsters and the Addams will once again compete on television, much as in 1964, according to DreadCentral, who adds that the appearance of both on Netflix will be identical to when both of the original titles were first published in both of those years. Groovy.”
One of Universal Pictures’ content divisions, Universal 1440 Entertainment, distributes the film. They are frequently connected with being “direct-to-DVD” and are frequently known for some of the studio’s smaller productions that don’t have a theatrical release.
Several films from the studio have made their SVOD debuts on Netflix, including Bobbleheads The Movie, American Pie Presents Girls’ Rules, and Dragonheart Vengeance. Additionally, Netflix is expected to be given exclusive rights to the next Blade of 47 Ronin movie.
If The Munsters follows the release patterns of some of the movies indicated above, it will be made accessible on Netflix the same day as it is made available on VOD and in theatres. The Munsters is scheduled to premiere in September 2022.
It’s unknown whether The Munsters will be released internationally or solely in the United States, given all of the aforementioned movies were only available on Netflix in the United States.
