The supernatural sports horror, Him, starring Marlon Wayans, will be available to stream on Netflix in the United States starting in April. Produced by Jordan Peele, Him is getting a second life on streaming after underperforming in theaters.
The movie was originally released on September 19, 2025. But it failed to impress critics and audiences, earning a modest box office total. Now, Netflix is giving it a fresh chance to reach a wider audience. With growing curiosity around Peele-backed projects, Him could find better reception among home viewers.

What Is Marlon Wayans’ Him About?

Him is a sports horror movie directed by Justin Tipping and produced under Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw banner. The movie stars Tyriq Withers as a promising young quarterback struggling with the effects of head trauma. He gets an opportunity to train under a legendary retired player (Marlon Wayans).
As the story unfolds, the mentorship takes a disturbing turn. The intense training evolves into something far more psychological and violent. The movie explores the themes of obsessive fandom, toxic masculinity, and the mental toll of achieving the “GOAT” status.
The movie generally received mixed to negative reviews. Critics and fans appreciated its visual style and Wayans’ performance, but criticized its uneven tone and execution. It currently holds a disappointing 31% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes (as of April 3, 2026).
Given its unique premise and Jordan Peele’s strong backing, expectations were pretty high. However, the movie grossed around $28 million (as of April 3, 2026) worldwide on a $27 million budget (via BoxOfficeMojo). It’s quite disappointing compared to Peele’s other horror project, Weapons, which, as of April 3, 2026, grossed around $270 million (via BoxOfficeMojo).
