Is ‘Between the Temples’ Streaming on Netflix or HBO Max?

Carol Kane and Jason Schwartzman have an unlikely May-December bond in Between the Temples, which is coming to theaters this week. Luckily, we have you covered on all the ways you can watch this comedic flick!

In Between the Temples, Schwartzman plays Ben, a cantor that is grieving over the death of his wife, even though his parents are pushing him to get back out in the dating world. On day, his grade school music teacher Carla (Kane) shows up at his place of work, hoping for a later in life Bat Mitzvah. Reluctantly, Ben takes Carla on as a student, but it turns out she might be the source of the push he needs to start moving on. However, is this just a simple friendship, or could it be something more?

So, where can you watch Between the Temples? Is it on Netflix? What about Max?

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming movie:

WHERE TO WATCH BETWEEN THE TEMPLES:

Currently, the only way that you can watch Between the Temples is to go to a movie theater when it releases on Friday, August 23. You can find a local showing on Fandango. Otherwise, you will just have to wait until it becomes available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Vudu, Apple, YouTube and Amazon, or becomes available to stream on Netflix. Read on for more information.

WILL BETWEEN THE TEMPLES BE ON NETFLIX?

Between the Temples will likely be on Netflix because of a deal inked between the streaming platform and Sony Pictures Releasing that gives the streamer rights to all the company’s theatrical films starting in 2022.

While a streaming release date for Between the Temples has not yet been announced, we can make an estimate on the date based on another recent Sony film. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was released in theaters on March 22, 2024, before coming to Netflix on July 22, 2024, around four months after it debuted. If Between the Temples follows the same pattern, we could be watching the film from the comfort of our homes by late December 2024.
