It’s become easier to find films with their availability on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and other streaming and rental platforms — here’s where to watch the Paranormal Activity movies online before the release of Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin. The Paranormal Activity films have been a staple of the horror genre since they first debuted in 2007. The standalone horror has since launched a franchise made up of seven films, including a non-canon Japanese sequel called Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night.
Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is the seventh film in the franchise. Unlike its predecessors, Next of Kin is skipping a theatrical release altogether due to COVID-19 delays and will be headed directly and exclusively to Paramount+. The sequel follows Margot (Emily Bader), a young woman searching for clues about her mother, only to learn about some disturbing elements from her history. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension was previously marketed as the final film in the horror franchise before Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin was announced in 2019.
For those who might be looking to refresh their memories by rewatching the six previous films in the franchise in preparation for Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin will find it a bit difficult to binge the horror film series on one platform. The six other movies are available, but on an array of different platforms and digital avenues. Here’s where fans can watch all of the Paranormal Activity movies online.
The Paranormal Activity Movies Aren’t On Netflix, Hulu, Or Prime
Unfortunately, fans of the horror franchise won’t be able to watch most of the Paranormal Activity movies on the primary streaming platforms. None of the films are available to U.S. subscribers of Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime Video. The only exception here is Paranormal Activity 4, which is available on Hulu for those with a subscription. The other films — Paranormal Activity, Paranormal Activity 2, and Paranormal Activity 3 — require subscription add-ons to Starz and Showtime, respectively. Paranormal Activity was available to watch on Netflix in 2020, but it was removed after several months. Meanwhile, the second and third installments of the franchise were previously available to stream on Netflix in Canada.
