Sing 2 is coming to Netflix in June 2022
By Mads Lennon
The computer-animated jukebox musical comedy film Sing 2 is preparing to make its bow on Netflix in just a few weeks! Featuring an incredible cast of talents that includes Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly and more, Sing 2 was one of the most successful animated movies of 2021, and the tenth highest-grossing films of the year.
During its theatrical run, the sequel grossed more than $409 million worldwide, along with garnering positive reception from audiences and critics alike. Set after the events of the first film, Sing 2 follows Buster Moon and his group as they put on a new show at the glitzy Crystal Tower Theatre and try to impress an important entertainment mogul.
Garth Jennings writes and directs the film, which spared no shortage of impeccable talent to voice the colorful cast of characters featured in the movie. Superstars like Halsey, Pharrell Williams and Bono were even recruited to join the film.
When does Sing 2 premiere on Netflix?
The movie will arrive on Netflix in the United States starting on June 22, 2022. Netflix and Universal agreed to extend their animated film licensing deal in July 2021. So future movies like The Bad Guys, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish and Minions: Rise of the Gru will also eventually stream on the platform.
Netflix will reportedly have streaming rights for 18 months before movies can move to Amazon Prime Video. It also sounds like Netflix only has exclusive rights for the first 10 months, after which the movie may premiere on Peacock.
In short, you should be able to watch Sing 2 until at least April 2023, but potentially until December 2023 on Netflix.
Will Sing 2 premiere on Netflix internationally?
It’s a little more complicated to ascertain the international debut date for Sing 2 since Netflix does deals on a country-by-country basis outside of the U.S. For the U.K., these movies usually premiere about two years after their theatrical debut, as was the case with The Secret Life of Pets 2. If Sing 2 follows that pattern it won’t be available in the U.K. until late 2023.
Sing 2 premieres in the United States on Netflix on June 22, 2022.
