Dakota Johnson has to choose between Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans in the 2025 new movie Materialists, but thankfully, you don’t. You can just sit back and enjoy the latest romance movie from Celine Song, and we’ve got all the details on when, where and how to watch Materialists for you right here.
This is Song’s second movie, with her first being the widely-acclaimed and Oscar-nominated Past Lives. Adding three major movie stars and a plot that offers a bit more comedy (though the movie has a maturity to its comedy and take on romance) made it one of the 2025 summer indie movies that we couldn’t wait to check out, and now we all can.
So read on to figure out exactly how to watch Materialists (including whether or not it is available online).

While we don’t know exactly when Materialists will be streaming, we do know where — HBO Max (formerly just Max). The streaming service has served as the initial streaming home for all A24 movies for the last couple of years (it recently added A24 movies Parthenope, The Brutalist and others), and that is continuing for the foreseeable future.
When more details about Materialists' streaming plans become available, we’ll add them here.
