When is the new ‘Wuthering Heights’ movie going to stream?
The tale of Catherine and Heathcliff has never been told quite like this.
Prepare for a telling of the classic Emily Brontë novel “Wuthering Heights” as you’ve never seen it before. The newest adaptation of the work is being released in theaters on Friday, Feb. 13, but audiences who are worried that the movie might be a bit too blush-inducing to see in theaters are likely wondering when they can watch it in the privacy of their own homes. We’ll give our best estimate below!
Key Details:
- Mostly positive: So far, “Wuthering Heights” has received a 65% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- It’s not TV: The movie will stream on HBO Max once it’s no longer exclusive to theaters.
- Moderate window: A release window between 70 and 85 days seems likely for the film.
“Wuthering Heights” whisks viewers back in time to 18th-century England, where Catherine Earnshaw lives with her abrasive, alcoholic father. One day, he returns home with a young boy, whom Cathy names Heathcliff after her dead brother. As the years go by, their friendship evolves into a torrid romance that could tear their worlds apart.
Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie star in this provocative adaptation of “Wuthering Heights,” and thus far, the film’s style has divided critics somewhat. It currently sits at a 65% on Rotten Tomatoes, so the majority of critics who have seen the film have given it an approving review.

When will you be able to stream ‘Wuthering Heights’ at home?
“Wuthering Heights” will stream on HBO Max once it’s no longer exclusive to theaters and premium video-on-demand services. The movie is being distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery in the United States, making its eventual streaming destination a certainty.
What’s less certain is how long the movie will take to reach HBO Max. The streamer has fallen into something of a pattern, lately; recent releases such as One Battle After Another,” “Superman,” and “Weapons” havee all been given release windows of between 70 and 85 days, though even if “Wuthering Heights” follows this pattern, there’s still a margin for error to consider.
Ultimately, I think “Wuthering Heights” will stream on HBO Max 77 days after its initial arrival in theaters. If that prediction bears out, it means the film will hit HBO Max on Friday, May 1, perhaps the perfect way to celebrate the onset of spring.
