Eager to see Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch's on-screen battle in 'The Roses'? You're in luck! The film is hitting digital platforms very soon. But when can you stream it on Hulu? Let's dive in!
Published on October 20, 2025, by Anna Menta, this article gives us the lowdown on where and when to watch the highly anticipated movie, 'The Roses.' If you missed it in theaters, you'll be able to buy or rent it digitally starting tomorrow.
Directed by Jay Roach and written by Tony McNamara (known for his work on 'The Favourite' and 'Poor Things'), 'The Roses' stars Cumberbatch as Theo Rose, an architect, and Colman as Ivy, an aspiring chef. Their love story evolves into a complex marriage, mirroring the themes of the 1989 dark comedy, 'The War of the Roses.'
And this is the part most people miss... 'The Roses' is a modern take on the 1989 film starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, which itself was inspired by Warren Adler's 1981 novel. The movie also features a stellar cast including Andy Samberg, Alison Janney, and more. While it earned $50 million at the global box office, its success at home remains to be seen.
Where to watch 'The Roses' online:
You can buy 'The Roses' digitally starting tomorrow, Tuesday, October 21, at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (9 p.m. Pacific Time on October 20). Platforms like Amazon Prime and Apple TV will offer the film for purchase at $24.99. The DVD release date is still pending.
But here's where it gets controversial... The question on everyone's mind: When will 'The Roses' be available on Hulu? Since the film is from Searchlight Pictures (owned by Disney), it's likely to land on Hulu. You can get a 30-day free trial to Hulu. After the trial, the basic plan with ads is $9.99/month, and the ad-free version is $18.99/month.
Want to save some money? Consider a Disney+ Bundle, which includes Hulu. These bundles start at $10.99/month for Disney+ and Hulu with ads, and go up to $29.99/month for Disney+, Hulu, and Max, all ad-free.
When to expect 'The Roses' on Hulu:
While no official date is set, it might be available around Thanksgiving. A similar Searchlight film, 'A Complete Unknown,' arrived on Hulu about three months after its theatrical release. If 'The Roses' follows the same pattern, expect it around late November 2025. However, timelines can vary. For now, you can purchase the film digitally.
