[The Borderlands] film was doomed from the start If trying to adapt the video game series, famous for its over-the-top, vulgar humor, to a PG-13 rating wasn't enough, the long period of production in limbo and a trailer full of pop culture mumbo-jumbo had it all set before it even hit theaters

Still, as a fan of the game, I have a morbid curiosity to see what a colleague called in his review of “Borderlands” a “ridiculous throwback” to the god-awful video game movies of yesteryear (This was before such outstanding projects as Max's “The Last Of Us,” Netflix's “Arcane” and Prime Video's “Fallout” TV series took us by surprise) If, like me, you're aiming to watch this flop without spending a penny, you're probably wondering when “Borderlands” will make its streaming debut

Here's everything we know so far about when “Borderlands” will be available for streaming

Gearbox and 2K's live-action adaptation of the iconic video game series opened nationwide on August 9, 2024 After its theatrical release, “Borderlands” will be streamed on Starz under a licensing agreement with distributor Lionsgate
