‘How To Train Your Dragon’ Is Now Streaming—How To Watch The Live-Action Hit At Home

The live-action How to Train Your Dragon is now available to stream. After premiering in theaters in June, the film became available to buy or rent on digital video-on-demand platforms on July 14, 2025. With a sequel already in the works, here’s how to watch the blockbuster hit for your next movie night.

How to Train Your Dragon (2025) is a live-action remake of the beloved original animated movie, which debuted in March 2010. Dean DeBlois, the writer and director behind the three animated films, returned for the latest installment. Gerard Butler, who played Viking chief Stoick the Vast, is also back — and he’s joined by newcomers Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz and Murray McArthur.

“On the isle of Berk, Vikings and dragons have battled for generations, but that won’t stop Hiccup from building an unlikely bond with the feared dragon, Toothless,” the synopsis reads. “With an ancient evil threatening their worlds, it’s up to Hiccup, Toothless, and their courageous companion Astrid to prove they’re stronger together, and through friendship and bravery they can overcome any challenges.”

The digital release comes after the film’s impressive run at the box office, where it’s currently the fifth highest-grossing movie of 2025. The movie has earned more than $560 million worldwide and $239 million in domestic sales, according to Box Office Mojo. It’s currently ahead of other major 2025 films like Jurassic World: Rebirth, Captain America: Brave New World and F1: The Movie.

Beyond its theatrical success, the live-action remake has been widely embraced by both critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has received an impressive 77% critics’ score based on 235 reviews, as well as a stellar 96% audience approval from more than 10,000 verified ratings.

Which Streaming Service Will How To Train Your Dragon Land On?

How to Train Your Dragon is distributed by Universal Pictures, so the live-action film will be released on Peacock in addition to being available on video-on-demand platforms.

When Will How To Train Your Dragon Be Streaming On Peacock?

How to Train Your Dragon will likely arrive on Peacock around three to four months after its theatrical premiere in June 2025, putting the release date around September or October 2025.

This timeline follows other Universal Pictures releases, like Wicked, which landed on Peacock in March 2025, almost four months after its November 2024 premiere. Twisters also took nearly four months to arrive on Peacock. Similarly, The Fall Guy hit the streaming platform just under four months after its theatrical debut.

Will There Be A How To Train Your Dragon 2?

Yes, Universal Pictures is officially making a sequel to the live-action film. How to Train Your Dragon 2 will be released in theaters on June 11, 2027. DeBlois is also returning to helm the sequel.

In an interview with Discussing Film, DeBlois shared an update on the sequel and how he’s planning to stay faithful to the beloved original, which is considered one of the best movies in the franchise.

“I think there’s something about the second animated movie that most fans prefer out of the trilogy, and I want to hold on to that aspiration,” he explained. “[How to Train Your Dragon 2] was like our Empire Strikes Back, where everything got bigger and broader. Characters get richer and things get scarier, as well. That said, there are still regrets I have — having written and directed the second film — that I would love to address in the live-action version.”
