Eternity, A24’s afterlife romantic comedy, is officially headed to digital platforms with a confirmed late-2025 VOD rollout. The film, which explores the choices souls face in the afterlife, will be available to rent or buy at home after its late-November U.S. theatrical run from A24.
What is Eternity About?
Set in a whimsical afterlife where souls have just one week to decide where to spend eternity, Eternity centers on Joan, a woman faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive. Directed by David Freyne and written by Pat Cunnane, the film blends heartfelt drama with gentle humor, anchored by a cast that includes Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, Callum Turner, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, John Early, and Olga Merediz.
Rather than a conventional romance, Eternity uses its fantastical premise to explore themes of love, loss, and the weight of memory. The film’s narrative unfolds as Joan reflects on her life and relationships, making it both a poignant meditation on choices and a celebration of the connections that shape us.
Where to Watch Eternity Online?
Following its U.S. theatrical release on November 26, 2025, Eternity is expected to arrive on digital VOD platforms on December 23, 2025. Viewers will be able to rent or purchase the film on major storefronts such as Amazon, where it will be listed at standard new-release pricing for home viewing. You can head here and Rent/Buy the film at 19.99$ and 24.99$ respectively.
Pre-order options are already available on Amazon, with industry sources anticipating a coordinated digital launch that will make the film accessible beyond its limited theatrical footprint. For fans of A24 and afterlife-themed cinema, this VOD rollout marks the first chance to legally watch Eternity at home outside of festival or repertory screenings.
When and Where Will Eternity Stream?
As of now, a specific subscription streaming platform (such as Netflix, Hulu, or Max) has not been officially announced for Eternity. The film’s digital release on December 23 will be the first opportunity for audiences to legally watch it online. If A24’s recent release patterns hold, the film may eventually appear on a curated streaming service (mostly HBO Max), but no confirmed timeline has been given for a subscription premiere.
Viewers eager to see it at the earliest opportunity should plan around the December 23 digital release, with any potential subscription streaming premiere likely to arrive some time after its initial VOD and home-video life has begun.
Festival Run & Critical Reception
Eternity made its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and has since been recognized for its originality and emotional depth. The film was recently nominated for Best Comedy at the Critics Choice Movie Awards, highlighting its blend of whimsy and heart.
Coverage in outlets and festival reports has praised the film’s imaginative premise, its performances, and its gentle humor, positioning Eternity as a standout among 2025’s romantic comedies. The film’s momentum on the festival circuit has helped build anticipation for its wider digital availability in December 2025.
Why Watch Eternity?
For viewers interested in imaginative afterlife stories, romantic comedies with a twist, and films that blend humor with emotional resonance, Eternity offers a fresh and moving take on love and choice. The film’s blend of whimsy, drama, and heartfelt performances makes it a compelling watch for fans of A24’s distinctive style.
Admirers of Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, and David Freyne’s previous work will find a finely crafted, performance-driven story that rewards close attention and rewatching once it reaches digital and streaming platforms. As it moves from theaters into the home-viewing ecosystem, Eternity seems poised to become an essential text in contemporary afterlife cinema and in the growing canon of films about love and memory.
