Amazon MGM Studios’ Project Hail Mary, the film adapted from Andy Weir’s book of the same name that stars Ryan Gosling and the bestest alien named Rocky, is set to come to a television near you… on MGM+.
The streamer announced the news that the movie, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, will exclusively be on their platform starting on June 18, 2026.
You might think it’s surprising that Amazon MGM has decided to have the blockbuster feature stream on MGM+ rather than Prime Video (the studio owns them both). It’s not that surprising, however, if you consider that they might want more people to subscribe to the less popular MGM+, which is also the home of the excellent series, From.
Project Hail Mary also isn’t the first Amazon MGM product to premiere on MGM+. Nic Cage’s Spider Noir also exclusively premiered on MGM+ and then became available on Prime Video two days later. Whether Project Hail Mary will follow suit is unclear, but I think odds are good we’ll also be able to see it on Prime Video in the near future.
Here’s a synopsis of the film, in case you haven’t watched it yet and are itching to subscribe to MGM+ to do so:
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
In addition to Gosling and Rocky, the film stars Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, and Priya Kansara. The script for the adaptation comes from Drew Goddard.
Sign up for MGM+ and check out Project Hail Mary on June 18, 2026.
