With Its 30th Anniversary on the Horizon Wes Craven’s Franchise Starting Masterpiece Is Answering the Call on a New Streamer

2026 is going to be a huge year for Screamfans. Not only do we have the seventh installment to look forward to for its February 27 release, but the new year marks a milestone moment for the beloved franchise. Not to make so many of us out there feel incredibly old, but 2026 will be the 30th anniversary of the original film’s debut, with Wes Craven’s meta masterpiece that started it all first scaring its way into cinemas on December 20, 2026. While we’re sure that next year will be filled with plenty of special screenings, Hulu subscribers can kick off the festivities a little bit early as the platform will serve as the new home for the first three titles in the series beginning on October 1.
