UPDATE: The highly anticipated musical film Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring Jennifer Lopez, opens in theaters this weekend on October 10, 2025. Directed by renowned filmmaker Bill Condon, known for hits like Chicago and Dreamgirls, this new adaptation promises to bring a unique blend of camp and drama just in time for Halloween.
Fans of the original stage musical by Terrence McNally, John Kander, and Fred Ebb will not want to miss this exciting cinematic experience. The film follows Diego Luna as Valentin, a political prisoner who forms a bond with his cellmate Molina, portrayed by Tonatiuh. Molina captivates Valentin by recounting tales from his favorite Hollywood musicals, featuring his idol, Ingrid Luna (played by JLo).
Currently, Kiss of the Spider Woman is only available in theaters. You can find showtimes near you via Fandango. However, the film is not yet available for streaming on platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
What’s Next? Following its theatrical release, the film is expected to be available for digital purchase or rental within a month, likely around mid-November 2025. Based on previous releases from Roadside Attractions, the film may eventually become available for streaming on Hulu, following their exclusive rights agreement.
While there is no confirmed digital release date, past patterns suggest that streaming may occur approximately five months post-release, around March 2026. If you’re eager to catch Kiss of the Spider Woman at home, patience will be required, as it is not a Prime original and will not stream for free on Prime Video.
For now, if you want to experience this big, queer extravaganza, head to theaters starting October 10. Don’t forget, the original Kiss of the Spider Woman film from 1985 is available for streaming on HBO Max for those looking to dive into the legacy before the new release.
Stay tuned for updates on streaming dates and digital availability!
