James Bond fans are really in for a surprise as they step into 2026 with the world renowned fictional British Secret Service agent moving to Netflix starting January 2026. The James Bond franchise is currently owned by Amazon MGM which is a direct competitor of the global streaming giant.

The James Bond library will be available starting January 15, 2025 for Netflix subscribers in multiple countries including the United States, German-speaking countries, France, Latin America and several other territories. According to Variety, subscribers in these territories can watch the latest Bond movie “No Time to Die” as well as “Die Another Day,” “Quantum of Solace” and “Skyfall” for a three-month period.

Amazon MGM on James Bond moving to Netflix

Chris Ottinger, Head of Worldwide Distribution at Amazon MGM Studios, said that bringing these iconic films to Netflix is part of that continued strategy. “When Amazon acquired MGM, Amazon’s plan was to continue licensing MGM’s iconic library to streaming and television partners around the world. Bringing these iconic films and shows to Netflix is part of that continued strategy,” he said.

“James Bond remains one of the most enduring and influential franchises in cinematic history, and alongside other beloved titles in our library like Hunters among other series, this agreement reflects the continued global appetite for premium storytelling and the strong working relationship we’ve built with Netflix,” he added.

The Bond films typically stream on Prime Video for two months each year around Bond Day in October, and also play on MGM+ during the period from October through December.

As fans wait for the 26th James Bond movie from director Denis Villeneuve, the Netflix deal can possibly keep interest of fans in the franchise alive. The release date is likely to be several years in the future, possibly in 2028.
