Grab your togas! National Lampoon’s Animal House is headed to Netflix after its recent runs on Peacock and MGM+. While the John-Belushi-starring movie is readily available to buy in physical and digital formats, we all know it’s just more convenient (and cost-efficient) to watch a film on a streaming service. Subscribers of Netflix will get the treat of streaming the 1978 comedy classic, while subscribers of Hulu, Disney+ and the like are out of luck.
Animal House was amongst the Netflix additions for March 2024. Anyone subscribing to Netflix will be able to rewatch the antics of Bluto, Otter, Flounder and the rest of Delta House.
