After the recent theatrical release of Mufasa: The Lion King, fans are wondering when the movie will arrive for streaming. The 2024 musical drama serves as a prequel as well as a sequel to the Disney classic The Lion King, and follows the childhood of Mufasa and the nefarious Taka, who later is known as Scar. The movie delves into the history the two share, as well as showcases the events following Simba’s coronation at Pride Rock.
Here’s all the Mufasa: The Lion King streaming release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Mufasa: The Lion King streaming release date?
Mufasa: The Lion King’s streaming release date could arrive in March or April 2025.
Fans can expect to catch Mufasa: The Lion King on streaming early next year sometime in March, following its recent theatrical release on December 20, 2024. Walt Disney productions typically take three to four months to arrive on streaming, based on previous trends. Inside Out 2, the biggest blockbuster by Disney this year, took more than three months to arrive on streaming after its theatrical debut on June 10, 2024. A similar trend was followed by the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid as well, which came out on streaming last year around four months after its theatrical release.
Note: The abovementioned date is an estimation based on the information we have at the time of this writing.
Where is Mufasa: The Lion King coming out?
Mufasa: The Lion King is anticipated to come out on Disney Plus.
Since Mufasa: The Lion King is a production by Disney, we can assume that it will land on its official streaming platform Disney Plus. Once the movie arrives on Disney Plus, fans will need to sign up for a subscription, since it does not offer a free trial period at the moment. The service offers various plans at different prices, starting at $7.99 per month.
