If you love Anthony Bourdain, then you won’t want to miss the new Anthony Bourdain biopic movie, Tony, which follows his early years working his way up through kitchen jobs in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Tony, which opens wide in U.S. theaters this weekend, was directed by Matt Johnson, with a script written by Johnson, Matthew Miller, Todd Bartels, and Lou Howe. It’s loosely based on Bourdain’s own 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential, which features stories from Bourdain’s young, wild years as an aspiring writer-turned-cook bopping around the east coast. Dominic Sessa, best known for his critically-acclaimed, breakthrough performance in The Holdovers, stars as the 19-year-old Bourdain, who gets rejected from a writing fellowship in 1973, and impulsively follows his crush, Nancy (played by Emilia Jones), to Provincetown, Massachusetts, instead. He ends up hired by a restaurant owner, Chef (Antonio Banderas) as a dishwasher. And the rest is history.

If you’re curious about the Anthony Bourdain movie but don’t feel like making the trip to the theater, then read on to find out when and where you’ll be able to watch the Tony movie on streaming.

Where to watch the Anthony Bourdain movie Tony:

For now, Tony will only be available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in theaters nationwide in the U.S. on Friday, August 21. (The film was released in limited theaters on August 7.) You can find a showing near you via Fandango. The Tony movie is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.

Is he Anthony Bourdain movie Tony streaming on Netflix?

Tony is not streaming on Netflix and likely will not be on Netflix in the U.S. any time soon, due to the fact that the film is being released by A24 in the U.S., and the 2023 deal between A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery, brings all A24’s previous and upcoming theatrical releases to the Warner Bros. streaming service HBO Max. If you want to watch Tony at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on HBO Max.

If you’re new to HBO Max, you can sign up for as low as $10.99/month with ads, but an ad-free subscription will cost $18.49/month.

If you want to stream even more and save a few bucks a month while you’re at it, we recommend subscribing to one of the discounted Disney+ Bundles with Hulu and HBO Max. With ads, the bundle costs $19.99/month and without ads, $32.99/month.

When will the Anthony Bourdain movie Tony be streaming on HBO Max?

You might see the Tony movie streaming on HBO Max around mid-to-late December 2026.

Tony is not yet streaming on HBO Max. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Tony streaming on HBO Max eventually—thanks to the A24 and Warner Bros. deal—but we’re not sure when.

The A24 deal is a “Pay-1 deal,” which means A24 movies will start streaming on Max in the “Pay 1 window,” meaning that Max will be the first “TV channel” to pay for the rights Tony after the film has been released on digital and home media. One recent A24 title, The Drama, began streaming on HBO Max about four months after its release in theaters.

If Tony follows a similar release strategy, you might see Tony on digital in about a month, around late September 2026, and streaming on HBO Max in about four months, around mid-to-late December 2026.

This is all speculation. The A24 digital and streaming releases have varied by title. If you want to watch Tony right away, you can catch the Anthony Bourdain movie everywhere in U.S. theaters on Friday.
