'Michael' makes its exclusive streaming debut on Starz today — here's how to watch it

Michael Jackson's controversial biopic, directed by Antoine Fuqua and produced by Graham King, has made its exclusive streaming debut on Starz today. The highest-grossing music biopic of all time, the film stars Jaafar Jackson as the American pop star and chronicles his journey from the Jackson 5 to the Bad tour. With a 97% approval rating from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has outperformed expectations.

Michael first hit theaters on April 24, with PVOD releases following on June 9. Now streaming exclusively on Starz since August 10, viewers can catch it on their app or web portal. The film's swift transition to streaming, just three months after its theatrical run, is a pleasant surprise, given Lionsgate's usual five-month release timeline.

While Starz subscribers can access ad-free programming for $7.99 per month or $74.99 per year, the movie's eventual streaming debut on Prime Video is expected soon, thanks to Lionsgate's new deal with the platform.
