Quick Summary
Bad Boys: Ride or Die will hit Netflix in the US on 8 October, with other regions to follow early next year.
It's the fourth film in the Bad Boys series and has rated highly with viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.
Although it has only recently finished a theatrical run and hit digital stores for purchase and rental, the fourth Bad Boys movie is coming to Netflix this week.
The streaming service will debut Bad Boys: Ride or Die on Tuesday, 8 October. That's in the US primarily, it's also expected to be available in the UK and other regions from early 2025.
The film sees Will Smith and Martin Lawrence reprise the roles they first took up almost three decades ago. As Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, they once again take to the streets of Miami to foil a dangerous criminal plot – this time to clear the name of their late police captain.
It's directed by Adil El Arbi, who also helmed 2020's Bad Boys for Life, although the director of the original and its first sequel, Michael Bay actually makes a cameo appearance in the latest flick driving the car originally used by Smith.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die fared okay with critics before its cinema release, but has really gained traction amongst fans. It currently has a 97% Popcornmeter score on Rotten Tomatoes – the newly-named viewer rating.
