Babylon takes viewers back to the early days of Hollywood through the lens of Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle. It's Chazelle's most ambitious work to date, but as noted in our Babylon review, that ambition results in a three-hour movie that will be "one viewer's favorite movie of the year and another's calamitous nemesis."
Babylon is still availalbe in theaters, but has yet to come to streaming. If you're wondering how and where you can watch it yourself, take a look at the information below

Babylon Streaming Release Date
Babylon is not currently available to stream online, though it will eventually be added to Paramount+, according to the streamer. However, there's been no official announcement regarding its streaming release date.
Paramount Pictures, the company distributing Babylon, released their 2022 slate on Paramount+ following each movie's typical 45-day theatrical window, with the exception of Top Gun: Maverick, which will hit the streaming service on December 22, nearly seven months after its theatrical debut. Assuming Top Gun is an outlier based on its extraordinary box-office success, Babylon could hit Paramount+ as early as February 7. We'll be sure to update this page with any offical streaming announcements.
If you want to watch the film as soon as it's available, you can currently preorder Babylon on Amazon Prime Video.
