“M3GAN 2.0” partial poster.
M3GAN 2.0, the sequel to the 2022 horror hit M3GAN, is coming soon to digital streaming.
M3GAN 2.0 opened in theaters on June 27. The official logline for the film reads, “Your killer bestie is back! When an autonomous android (Ivanna Sakhno) built as the ultimate weapon threatens her beloved Cady (Violet McGraw), M3GAN convinces her creator, Gemma (Allison Williams), to give her a glow-up that makes the original AI diva even deadlier.
“Armed with wild new upgrades and her same iconic attitude, M3GAN claps back against the wannabe techno-terror in a fierce faceoff to crown the baddest bot built for maximum mayhem.”
Rated PG-13, M3GAN 2.0 is directed by Gerard Johnstone and also stars Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp and Jemaine Clement.
M3GAN 2.0 is expected to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, July 15, according to When to Stream. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that the release date has not been announced or confirmed by M3GAN 2.0’s studio Universal Pictures and it is subject to change.
The film will be available on a variety of digital platforms, including Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube.
Prime Video and Fandango at Home both have M3GAN 2.0 up for pre-order for $24.99, which is also the film’s purchase price. Since PVOD rental prices are typically $5 less than purchase prices, viewers can expect to rent M3GAN 2.0 for $19.99 for 48 hours.
