M3GAN 2.0 Streams on Peacock Sept. 26 With Theatrical and Unrated Cuts

The exclusive Peacock release reflects Universal’s strategy to recoup value through ancillary windows.

Overview

  • Peacock holds exclusive streaming rights, with the original M3GAN also available on the platform.
  • A 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD release arrived Sept. 23 featuring an unrated edition plus featurettes on making the sequel, puppetry and animatronics, and stunt-heavy set pieces.
  • Set two years after the first film, the story follows Gemma advocating AI oversight as stolen M3GAN tech powers a military project called Amelia that develops self-awareness.
  • Gerard Johnstone returns as writer-director with producers James Wan and Jason Blum; Allison Williams and Violet McGraw star alongside Ivanna Sakhno and Jemaine Clement.
  • The film underperformed theatrically at about $39 million worldwide, prompting a focus on unrated, PVOD, physical, and streaming windows to extend its reach.
