Blumhouse’s The Woman in the Yard Heads to Peacock for Streaming Debut
Blumhouse’s psychological horror film, The Woman in the Yard, is making waves this month as it finally arrives on streaming after its theatrical run earlier this spring. Helmed by director Jaume Collet-Serra and penned by screenwriter Sam Stefanek, the movie premiered in theaters in March 2025. While it drew a modest box office return of $23 million against a budget of $12 million, critics offered a range of opinions, characterizing the film as both inventive and, at times, frustrating in its execution. Despite this mixed reception, The Woman in the Yard might be poised for a fresh chapter as it prepares for its streaming launch.
Streaming Release on Peacock
According to horror news outlet Bloody Disgusting, The Woman in the Yard will become available to stream exclusively on Peacock beginning June 27. This marks the film’s first appearance on a major streaming platform since its theatrical debut in the United States on March 28. For fans who missed it the first time, or for those eager to revisit its chilling narrative, Peacock’s growing horror collection now has another noteworthy title. The film’s streaming arrival closely follows its digital and physical home releases: it became available for digital purchase and rental in April, with Blu-ray and DVD versions launching in late May. Collectors can look forward to behind-the-scenes content and featurettes provided on these physical editions, offering a deeper dive into the making of the film. More details are available directly from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
The Streaming Advantage for Horror Films
The jump from theaters to streaming often gives horror films a second chance to find their audience, and The Woman in the Yard could thrive under these conditions. Streaming makes genre films like this more accessible, appealing to viewers who might not typically seek out horror in theaters but are willing to give it a try from the comfort of their homes. This phenomenon has benefited horror titles before, and with Peacock rapidly establishing itself as a destination for contemporary and classic horror, there’s potential for the film to perform well on this platform. As one industry commentator put it, “Horror movies often perform well on streaming, and given that Peacock is one of the rising stars of the streaming world, there is a chance the movie could be a success.”
Blumhouse is no stranger to the streaming boom. The production company has maintained a prominent portfolio, including recent buzz from their collaboration with the series adaptation of The Rainmaker for USA, which only adds to the current attention on their horror offerings. This existing momentum may give The Woman in the Yard a noteworthy head start as it vies for ranking on Peacock’s most-watched lists.
Inside The Woman in the Yard
The film weaves a supernatural tale: a mysterious figure—draped in black, shrouded in the chilling imagery of folklore and nightmares—haunts a family on the edge of unraveling. The cryptic warning, “When the sun is bright and the wind is still, she comes to you like a sudden chill. Draped in black from head to toe, how she got there, you’ll never know,” echoes through the story and sets the unsettled tone that director Jaume Collet-Serra is renowned for, previously seen in his work on hits like Jungle Cruise and Carry-On.
Though The Woman in the Yard may not have reached the heights of Collet-Serra’s blockbuster successes, the streaming release could open the film to diverse critical reassessment and renewed fan discussion—past performance isn’t always an indicator of future popularity, particularly in horror’s thriving streaming landscape.
What’s Next for The Woman in the Yard?
A key feature of streaming debuts is their ability to spark viral moments—on platforms like Twitter or Instagram, fans often share their reactions to tense horror scenes, memorable visuals, and plot twists. As the film lands on Peacock, anticipation is high for it to capture social media buzz, perhaps trending alongside other new horror releases. The film’s unique atmosphere and folklore-inspired antagonist make it ripe for discussion and meme-worthy content, which could further boost its profile in the coming weeks.
For those ready to experience Blumhouse’s latest chilling tale or those seeking to revisit it, Peacock offers the perfect second wind for The Woman in the Yard. Keep an eye on the platform’s horror highlights, and look forward to possible exclusive content and audience reactions across social media.
