How to watch The Last Showgirl – is it streaming?
Pamela Anderson has been widely praised for her performance in the new film from Gia Coppola.
Although she ultimately missed out on an Oscar nomination, Pamela Anderson's leading turn in The Last Showgirl has attracted significant acclaim – including nods at both the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards.
The former Baywatch star leads an impressive cast that also includes Jamie Lee Curtis (who was herself BAFTA nominated), Dave Bautista, Kiernan Shipka and Billie Lourd in the film, which tells the story of a veteran showgirl whose show abruptly closes after 30 years.
The movie originally opened in the US before Christmas, so film fans on this side of the Atlantic may well be wondering when they'll be able to watch it – and whether the film will be coming to streaming platforms.
Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch The Last Showgirl.
How to watch The Last Showgirl in the UK
Unfortunately, UK-based fans eagerly awaiting the film will have to be just a little more patient – but the good news is that the cinema release is not too far away.
The film will launch exclusively in UK cinemas on Friday 28th February, and for the immediate period afterwards the only way to see it will be by taking a trip to the pictures.
The release comes a fair bit later than its US debut: after premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival on 6th September 2024, the film was given a limited run from 13th December before expanding on 10th January 2025.
When will The Last Showgirl be streaming?
As for when a streaming release might happen, that remains to be seen at this stage.
It's very likely that the film will be available to rent and purchase digitally a couple of months after its theatrical release – perhaps some time in April – but there's no confirmation of this yet.
Meanwhile, if we hear any news of it being added to any of the subscription streaming services, we'll update this page accordingly.
