Release date of Emily the Criminal (2022)

Because Netflix does not officially have any output deals with either Roadside Attractions or Vertical Entertainment, Emily the Criminal is expected to arrive on a single deal.

Outside of the United States, Universal Pictures holds distribution rights, which means that most nations will ultimately watch Emily the Criminal during the next four years, but not in December, as the United States does.

Emily the Criminal will be released on Netflix on December 7, 2022, making Netflix’s releasing video-on-demand premiere after previously being accessible on VOD.
