Promising Young Woman has been one of the most buzzed about films of the year ever since its premiere at Sundance this winter. Starring Carey Mulligan, the film is the ultimate revenge tale for the Me Too era. In it, Cassie (Mulligan) is a modern day vigilante, schooling predatory men everywhere about their misdeeds. It's unlike anything that's come before it and it shocked audiences when it was released in theaters on Christmas Day. But when will Promising Young Woman be available to stream?

As mentioned earlier, Promising Young Woman premiered on Christmas Day 2020 in select theaters, according to Vanity Fair. It was one of the few movies trying to bring folks out of their homes and into theaters. However, unlike a few of those movies (such as Wonder Woman 1984), Promising Young Woman didn't have a set streaming date upon the film's release.

Back in July, AMC Theaters and Universal Pictures (the studio behind Promising Young Woman) reached a deal to vastly shorten the required wait time between a film's theatrical release and its inevitable premiere on streaming platforms. Where there was once a three month delay between platform releases, there is now only a 17 day wait, according to Vulture .

Because of that, Promising Young Woman will now be available at home on demand for a 48-hour rental period beginning Friday, January 15. The film will be available to rent on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, VUDU, Google Play, Fandango Now, and Alamo on Demand.
