Logan Paul and Peyton List in The Thinning

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch The Thinning, Logan Paul’s dystopian sci-fi movie, if it’s on Netflix, and where it’s available on streaming.

In 2016, Logan Paul starred alongside Peyton List in The Thinning, a sci-fi thriller directed by Michael J. Gallagher.

The movie is set “in a future where population control is dictated by a high school aptitude test”, with Paul and List playing “two students who must take down the system before it takes them first.”

While not very well received by critics, it led to a sequel, The Thinning: New World Order – so, here’s what you need to know about streaming both movies.
