DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island lands in UK cinemas on October 16, 2026, but fans hoping to watch the adventure at home will need to wait for an official streaming announcement. Distributed by Universal Pictures, the animated film is a new original story about friendship and Filipino mythology.
The film stars H.E.R. and Liza Soberano as lifelong friends Jo and Raissa. While there is no confirmed streaming date, Universal’s previous release patterns provide a basis for an estimated home-viewing window.
When Will ‘Forgotten Island’ Stream On Peacock In The US?
Our provisional prediction is a Peacock debut in January 2027. DreamWorks films distributed by Universal commonly head to Peacock during their initial US subscription-streaming window, although release timing varies and no announcement has been made for this film.
A specific working prediction is Friday, January 15, 2027, about three months after the UK cinema opening. This is speculative, particularly because the film’s US theatrical calendar differs from the UK’s.
When Will ‘Forgotten Island’ Stream In The UK?
The UK does not have Peacock as a standalone streaming service equivalent to the US offering. Sky Cinema and NOW are certain UK destinations for Universal titles, but a UK streaming partner and date for Forgotten Island are not confirmed. Our preliminary estimate is early 2027, potentially February or March, subject to rights and scheduling.
When Could ‘Forgotten Island’ Be Available Digitally?
A digital rental and purchase release may arrive before subscription streaming. Based on the October UK cinema launch, late November or December 2026 would be a plausible UK digital window, but neither Universal nor DreamWorks has announced a date.
What Is ‘Forgotten Island’ About?
After celebrating their last night together before following separate paths, friends Jo and Raissa find a mysterious portal to Nakali, an island filled with creatures drawn from Filipino folklore. As they search for a way home, they discover that escaping may cost them their memories of each other.
Written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, the film features a voice cast including Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng and Lea Salonga. See Universal’s official UK film page.
