When The Whale debuted at the Venice International Film Festival back in September 2022, it received nothing but awards season buzz. Between Darren Aronofky's vision behind the A24 psychological drama and a memorable performance from Brendan Fraser, it was no surprise when The Whale received three nominations at the 2023 Oscars. What's more, the film resurged Brendan's career and earned him the Best Actor award.
Based on Samuel D. Hunter's 2012 play of the same name, The Whale follows Charlie, a reclusive English teacher. As he grieves the death of his partner, he decides to try and rebuild a connection with someone he's currently estranged from: his 17-year-old daughter Elle (Sadie Sink).
Whether you want to see it to celebrate Brendan's return to the big screen or you're simply intrigued by the movie's plot, you're probably wondering where you can watch and stream The Whale at home. Luckily, the search is over. Here's what we know about where to watch and stream The Whale online:

Now, if you're waiting for The Whale to land on a streaming site, we may have some insight. The movie is currently being distributed by entertainment company A24, known for producing other projects like HBO Max's Euphoria and the Paramount+ film Everything Everywhere All at Once. It also made a deal with HBO Max back in July that would allow most of its movies to stream on the popular platform. Based on this, it's likely that The Whale will eventually make its way there as well.
HBO Max
As for a release date for The Whale, that's currently to be determined. But with the pattern most movies follow these days, it's probable that it will take at least 45 days for it to drop on HBO Max.
While the initial calculation led viewers to think it would be an option on the streamer starting late January, we'll have to see whether any new updates come out after the 2023 Oscars.
When the time comes for The Whale to stream on HBO Max, you'll need an account to watch it. If you haven't subscribed yet, you can opt into a plan, which starts at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Once you've done so, you can go to the movie's official page on the HBO Max website or the HBO Max app.
