In the age of book-to-movie adaptations, there is one more to add to the long list of films: Where the Crawdads Sing. Based on the Delia Owens' 2018 novel of the same name, it follows a young woman named Catherine "Kya" Clark (Daisy Edgar-Jones) who grows up in the North Carolina marshes. Later in life, she falls in love with Chase Andrews (Harris Dickinson). But when he is found murdered after ending their tempestuous relationship, all signs point to Kya as the culprit. A murder trial ensues, changing her and the people she becomes associated with forever.

Whether you've read the book and want to watch the storylines unfold on the small screen or you're simply in the mood for an emotional movie, Where the Crawdads Sing is definitely a flick to check out. If you're hoping to watch it from the comfort of your own couch, we did some digging and it may not be too long before you can stream the Reese Witherspoon-produced film from home.

How to watch and stream Where the Crawdads Sing online:

Where the Crawdads Sing is available to stream on digital platforms. Unlike other movies that might have come out on streaming platforms you already pay for, Where the Crawdads Sing can only be watched online when you buy it.

Amazon Prime Video, Vudu and Google Play Movies have it available to buy for $19.99. If you're willing to wait just a little longer, you will have the option of renting it on Vudu starting September 13.

As far as when the movie will be available to stream on a streaming site, there's little to report on. Back in April 2021, Sony made lucrative deals with both Disney and Netflix, which allowed both sites to stream the movie studio's latest films, starting with the Spider-Man franchise. Since Where the Crawdads Sing is distributed by Sony, there's a good chance either one (or maybe even both) will snag the title to have on their queues.

As for the exact online release date for Where the Crawdads Sing, this is tougher to determine. If we look at big blockbusters over the last two years (such as Thor: Love and Thunder and Top Gun: Maverick), there has typically been at least a 45-day window before viewers can watch them at home. Given how digital platforms recently secured the Where the Crawdads Sing after its July 15 release, all signs are pointing to another a longer wait than usual.

All of that said, here's how you can prepare to stream Where the Crawdads Sing when it inevitably drops. Should it stream on Netflix, you can subscribe to one of the plans, which start at $9.99 a month. If you're already a subscriber, you can log in via the official site or the Netflix app to take the movie on the go.

If Where the Crawdads Sing lands on Disney+, you can opt into a plan starting at $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year. You have the option to include Hulu and ESPN+ to your subscription by purchasing the Disney Bundle for $13.99 a month. Once you've subscribed, head to the movie page on the Disney+ website or stream it via the Disney+ official app.
