One of the great horror franchises kicked off in 1981 with The Evil Dead, a collaboration between director Sam Raimi, producer Rob Tapert, and actor Bruce Campbell.

For more than 40 years, they’ve shepherded the series, via sequels and remakes like Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and Evil Dead. Through TV show Ash vs the Evil Dead. And via comics, toys, video games, and the like.

Now, Evil Dead is back thanks to a fifth film that also serves as something of a reboot. So here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Evil Dead Rise and if it’s on streaming.

Evil Dead Rise is available to buy digitally as of May 9 and will be streaming on Max beginning on June 23.

As per Bloody Disgusting, it will “be available for early Premium Digital Ownership at home for $24.99 and for 48-hour rental via PVOD for $19.99 SRP on participating digital platforms where you purchase movies, including Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu.”

It will also be available to purchase on 4K UHD Combo Pack, Blu-ray, and DVD from June 27.
