It’s been a big year for Stephen King adaptations, with the release of Oz Perkin’s The Monkey back in February and Edgar Wright’s take on The Running Man hitting theaters next month. In between those two releases, we got Francis Lawrence's adaptation of one of the most bleak Stephen King stories out there: The Long Walk.
Starring David Jonsson and Cooper Hoffman, The Long Walk follows a group of teenage boys who must continuously walk across the United States, or else risk execution. If you’ve been interested in checking out the particularly gruesome movie in the comfort of your own home, I’m happy to report that The Long Walk is now available online through PVOD platforms like Prime Video.
The Long Walk Is Now Available on Digital
Unfortunately, we still don’t have any confirmation about a streaming release date for The Long Walk, but we do know the movie will eventually land on Starz, which has an ongoing “first dibs” streaming agreement with distributor Lionsgate. Recent Lionsgate releases like Ballerina and Freaky Tales landed on streaming around three months after releasing in theaters. Assuming we see a similar timeline, The Long Walk should be streaming on Starz some time this December.
