The new film “One Night Only,” which centers on a premise where single individuals are legally permitted to have sex on only one night per year, is set to premiere in U.S. theaters on Friday, August 7. Directed by Will Gluck and written by Travis Braun, the movie stars Monica Barbaro as a singer seeking true love on this designated night and Callum Turner as a pizza shop owner.
Due to its unusual premise, the film has gained attention online. "One Night Only" is currently only available for viewing in movie theaters and is not yet accessible on any streaming platforms. Information on showtimes can be found via Fandango.
Streaming Availability
As a Universal Pictures release, "One Night Only" is not expected to be available on Netflix. Instead, Universal films typically debut on the NBCUniversal streaming service, Peacock. While a release date for Peacock has not been officially announced, projections suggest it could be available for streaming around early December 2026, following a trend of other Universal movies that have arrived on the platform three to four months after their theatrical release. Some Universal releases have come to Peacock in as little as two months, suggesting an even earlier debut is possible.
Digital purchase and rental options are anticipated to become available approximately one month before the Peacock release, potentially in early September 2026. Following its exclusive window on Peacock, "One Night Only" is expected to become available on Amazon Prime Video. A deal between Universal and Amazon dictates that Universal movies stream on Peacock for the first four months of their pay-one window, then move to Amazon Prime Video for the subsequent four months, before returning to Peacock for another four months. Based on this, "One Night Only" could be available to stream on Prime Video with a subscription around May 2027. However, Universal's release strategy can vary by title, and these dates are speculative. The most immediate way to watch the film remains in theaters.
