Finding the right spot for a movie marathon is getting annoying. One day a trilogy is sitting pretty on your favorite app, and the next, it’s just gone. If you're looking for where to watch Maze Runner movies, you've probably noticed that things look a lot different this January than they did just a few weeks ago.
The "Glader" saga—starring Dylan O'Brien as Thomas—has been bouncing around licenses like a Griever in a dead end. Honestly, keeping track of these streaming rights is a full-time job.
The Big Netflix Exit of 2026
If you were planning to binge the whole trilogy on Netflix this weekend, I have some bad news. As of January 9, 2026, the entire Maze Runner collection was pulled from Netflix in the United States. It was a short-lived stay. They only arrived on the platform back in October 2025, but those licensing deals are notoriously finicky.
Basically, Disney (who now owns 20th Century Studios) likes to lease their big franchises to Netflix for a quick cash injection, but they always bring them back home eventually. If you check your Netflix "Continue Watching" list and see a blank thumbnail, that’s why.
Where to Watch Maze Runner Movies Right Now
Since the Netflix departure, the franchise has fractured across a few different services. It's not as simple as clicking "Play All" on one app anymore, which is kinf of a pain.
Peacock is the new MVP. In a bit of a surprise move, the first film, The Maze Runner (2014), landed on Peacock right as the new year started. It actually hit the Top 10 list almost immediately. If you have a Peacock subscription, you can watch the first leg of the journey there without extra fees.
Disney+ and the Star Factor.
Outside of the U.S., like in the UK, Australia, or Canada, the situation is much simpler. You just head to Disney+. Because Disney owns the movies, they live under the "Star" banner internationally. However, in the States, they still aren't permanent residents of the Disney+ library due to legacy contracts with other networks.
What about the sequels?
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and Maze Runner: The Death Cure are a bit more elusive. Currently, your best bet for streaming the sequels without "buying" them is often Hulu or the Disney+ Bundle, though they rotate in and out of the "FX" catalog frequently.
Rental and Purchase Options
Sometimes you just want to own the thing so you don't have to check a "where to stream" guide every six months. If you want the reliability of having them in your digital library, here’s the breakdown:
- Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu): Usually has the best bundle deals. You can often snag the entire trilogy for around $12.99 to $15.00 if you catch a sale.
- Apple TV / iTunes: Best for those who want the 4K HDR versions. The visual quality on the Scorch desert scenes is actually incredible in 4K.
- Amazon Prime Video: Standard pricing applies here, usually $3.99 to rent or $14.99 to buy individually.
Why Everyone Is Searching for Thomas and the Gladers Again
It's not just nostalgia. There's a reason people are asking where to watch Maze Runner movies again in 2026.
News broke recently that a new Maze Runner movie is officially in development. It’s not a direct sequel with the original cast—sorry to those hoping for more Dylan O'Brien and Kaya Scodelario—but rather a "reboot-style" continuation set in the same universe.
Wes Ball, the director of the original trilogy (who just finished Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes), is producing. This news has sent everyone back to the beginning to remember what WCKD stands for and why Newt deserved better.
A Quick Refresh on the Watch Order
If it’s been a while, don't jump into the middle. The story is a continuous arc.
- The Maze Runner (2014): The one with the walls and the amnesia.
- Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015): The one with the zombies (Cranks) and the desert.
- Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018): The big finale with the heist and the cure.
Your Next Steps for a Maze Runner Binge
If you're ready to dive back in, don't wait for Netflix to bring them back—they likely won't for a long time.
Start by checking your Peacock account for the first movie. If you’re a Disney+ subscriber in the U.S., check the "Hulu" section within the app; the sequels often hide there under the FX or 20th Century headings. For the most seamless experience, keep an eye on the Google TV or Apple TV store for a trilogy bundle sale, which usually happens whenever a new trailer for the upcoming movie drops.
Grab some snacks, settle in, and remember: WCKD is good. Or is it?
