Dogma first came out back in 1999, but if you’ve ever tried to find it on streaming platforms, you’ve likely uncovered a rather complicated history. The Kevin Smith film was purchased by Harvey and Bob Weinstein a year after its initial release, and until recently, the movie has not been allowed to come to streaming or VOD. In fact, there hasn’t been any sort of release for the films since the first Blu-ray came out all the way back in 2008.
Thankfully all of that changed when Iconic Events purchased the theatrical rights for the film back in 2024 and Kevin Smith licensed the home video rights to Lionsgate. Since then Dogma has been having itself a “Resurrection” tour with theater re-releases, and most recently, a 4K Blu-ray home release.
Preorder Dogma in 4K – Out December 9
The standard 4K preorder of Dogma is now available on Amazon. Separately, Lionsgate is releasing a 4K steelbook of the film directly from its website. This is the first time the film has ever been released in 4K, and the 25th anniversary edition features a fresh new cover. The previous Blu-ray release is actually still available on Amazon if you’re willing to pay a whopping $93. It’s been 17 years since that Blu-ray was released and went out of print a long time ago.

When Will Dogma Be Available to Stream?
There isn’t a streaming release date for Dogma at this point in time. As far as I know the film has never been available on any sort of streaming service or VOD platform before. With that being said, the fact that we have a release date for the 4K physical edition means that it will likely come to streaming eventually. Lionsgate doesn’t have its own streaming service, but it does have a deal with both STARZ and Amazon Prime.
Kevin Smith has also stated that he’s already working on Dogma 2, and we’d expect the film to come to a streaming service sometime before that happens at the very least. With a 4K release date of December 2025, you can likely expect Dogma to come to VOD platforms sometime shortly after.
