Where to stream all 9 Planet of the Apes movies before seeing Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is out now in theaters! The fourth movie in the Planet of the Apes reboot series continues the story of how the apes first took over the Earth, picking up 300 years after the events of 2017's War for the Planet of the Apes. With humans firmly out of power and apes on the rise, it's a whole new era, with all new characters and conflicts brewing.

Whether you want to prepare to see the new film or you've just gotten out and are now ready to go on an Ape-fueled binge through the franchise, you may to watch some of the other Planet of the Apes movies. But where can you watch them online? Fortunately, all nine previous movies in the Planet of the Apes franchise are widely available to stream!

Which streaming platforms have the Planet of the Apes movies?

The only Planet of the Apes movie not available online is Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, since it's currently in theaters. The other movies are available on a number of platforms.

The Planet of the Apes movies are put out by 20th Century Studios, which means that every single one of the previous movies is available on Hulu. That includes all five movies in the original series, the 2001 Tim Burton remake, and Matt Reeves' excellent reboot trilogy. This is by far the most convenient method for watching them as of this writing, since they're all in one place and listed well enough to make the order of the movies clear.

Since many Hulu shows and movies are now on its sister streaming platform Disney+, you can also watch them all there, too.

Several other platforms have a couple of the movies, but not all of them. For example, you can watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, the second and third entries in the Reeves reboot trilogy, on Max.

Meanwhile, Starz has the original five movies available through their Starz App, which means you can also watch them on Prime Video if you subscribe to Starz there. Every one of the movies is also available to rent on Prime Video. That said, the price tag for renting all nine movies ends up being more than the price of subscribing to Hulu or Disney+ for a month, so it's probably not worth watching that way if you're looking to binge the entire series.

There is no shortage of ways to get your ape on, but the best is Hulu or Disney+. After that, it's off to the movies for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes!
