According to our sources, the action thriller THE RUNNING MAN is expected to make its SVOD debut next month, arriving on Paramount+ and MGM+ on January 13th, 2026. The film launched in US theaters on November 14th, 2025, and hit PVOD on December 16th, 2025.

The Running Man is produced and directed by Edgar Wright from a screenplay he co-wrote with Michael Bacall, based on the 1982 novel of the same name by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman).
It is the second adaptation of the book, following the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and stars Glen Powell, Katy O’Brian, Daniel Ezra, Karl Glusman, Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, David Zayas, Sean Hayes, and Colman Domingo.
In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward.
Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.
