How to watch Renfield
| Release date: Friday, June 9 |
| Stream: Peacock (US) |
| Watch anywhere: Stream from anywhere with ExpressVPN |
There have been countless Dracula-centric movies over the years, ranging from unauthorized adaptations of Bram Stoker's iconic horror novel to animated comedies like the Hotel Transylvania movies. But, few have combined all the elements of the classic horror character to create something as dark, bloody, and fun as Chris McKay's Renfield.
Despite being a victim of a crowded box office, the movie was a hit with critics and audiences who checked out the horror comedy. Starring Nicolas Cage, Nicholas Hoult, and Awkwafina, the film centers on Renfield (Hoult) as he tries to find a way to sever his centuries-long relationship with Count Dracula (Cage) and turn over a new leaf, so to speak.
If you missed out on the blood-soaked comedy during its initial theatrical run, don't worry, because we have a breakdown of everything you need to know in order to watch Renfield online no matter where you are.
Watch Renfield online in the US
Peacock is the place to watch movies like Renfield in the US, as the horror comedy was made available on the streaming services on Friday, June 9.
A Peacock Premium subscription plan starts at $4.99 a month and goes up to $9.99 a month if you want more options like a live feed for your local NBC station and ad-free streaming of its vast library of movies and shows.

How to watch Renfield from anywhere
If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Renfield just as you would at home.
While the show is only on Peacock in the States, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing a streaming service from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens in the UK can subscribe to a VPN and connect to a US-based server to access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
Step-by-step of using a VPN to unblock:
1. Choose a VPN and install it - our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, with the 12-month plan offering the best value
2. Connect to a server - for Peacock, for instance, you'll want to connect to a server based in the US
3. Head over to your stream of choice - in this case, Peacock
