Beloved 'Creed' Trilogy Quietly Arriving On Netflix Soon

Netflix has confirmed that all three Creed movies will be making their way to the streaming platform on June 1, 2026.

The streamer changes its catalog of existing films every month, with a whole array of new titles coming to existing subscribers on June 1. Creed and its two immediate sequels are some of the highlights of this month's offerings.

Directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, and Sylvester Stallone, the original Creed movie was an enormous success that effectively reignited the popularity of Stallone's original Rocky franchise for a new generation.

The movie follows Adonis Creed, the son of Rocky's old rival-turned-friend, Apollo Creed. The boxing legend agrees to train the young prodigy after seeing just how talented he is, putting his career on the line to help Adonis become the next boxing champion.

The film received strong reviews from critics upon its release in 2015, with many audiences praising its ability to balance the legacy of a timeless classic such as Rocky with a bold, original new story that doesn't rely too heavily on nostalgia or callbacks. It's often named as one of the best so-called 'legacy sequels' there's ever been, setting the blueprints for many similar movies to follow.

Creed was also a huge box office success, pulling in $174 million against a reported budget of $35 million (via Box Office Mojo). It was a huge profit-maker for Warner Bros. and MGM, who quickly built it into a self-sustaining franchise with two further sequels.

Both Creed II and Creed III performed even better than the original movie, raking in an impressive $214 million and $276 million, respectively. The franchise has continued to get bigger in scope and scale, developing Adonis' story with new rivals, romances, and personal challenges to overcome.

While it's now been three years since Creed III was released, the franchise is showing no signs of stopping. Michael B. Jordan will executive-produce an upcoming television series titled Delphi, which centers around a group of young boxers learning to harness their skills and compete on the world's biggest stage.

Jordan has also confirmed that Creed IV is in the works, but it could be a while before the film actually gets made. He's expected to return as the film's director following his filmmaking debut on Creed III, though there has been no official confirmation of this.

All three Creed movies will arrive on Netflix in the United States on June 1, 2026. Those who can't wait until next month can purchase or rent the film through any major VOD platform, such as Amazon Prime or Apple TV.
