Just in time for the holidays, Illumination's hit animated franchise is back with a whole new round of A-list animated karaoke in Sing 2. Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) and his all-star cast of crooning critters take to the stage (and screen) once again, and this time they've got their sights set on an even bigger goal: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But there's a hitch, they're going to need to convince reclusive rock legend Clay Calloway (played by U2's Bono) to be a part of the show.
Back alongside Buster are Rosita (Reese Witherspoon), Ash (Scarlett Johansson), Johnny (Taron Egerton), Meena (Tori Kelly) and, Gunter (Nick Kroll), and this time they're joined by new characters voiced by Pharrell Williams, Letitia Wright, Eric André, and Chelsea Peretti. As for the songs, you can look forward to covers of hits from all over the world, including songs by Billie Eilish, Drake, U2, The Weeknd, Prince, Taylor Swift, BTS, Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin, Shawn Mendes, and Camila Cabello.

Is Sing 2 Streaming on HBO Max, Disney+, or Netflix?
No, Sing 2 is not available on any streaming services yet. However, when the time comes, you will most likely see it on HBO Max first. Universal Pictures is in the final weeks of a longstanding deal with AT&T Inc that sees Universal's theatrical releases arrive on HBO and HBO Max during the "Pay-1 window" (basically, the first streaming and/or TV debut after the theatrical and home video windows). Which means you can expect to see Sing 2 on the streaming service in about six months.
Is it Available to Rent or Purchase on PVOD?
Alas, also no. But if you want to watch Sing 2 at home, this is probably going to be your first option. Universal has been fairly flexible with their theatrical window throughout 2021 depending on the performance of the film, so we don't have a firm idea of when to expect Sing 2 on Digital or VOD yet, but bookmark this page, because we'll keep it updated when the home video release dates are announced!
Is Sing (2016) Streaming Anywhere?
If you watch the first Sing movie on streaming you've got two options right now: the film is currently available on FX Now and FuboTV. Otherwise, if you want to watch the 2016 hit, you can find it available for rent or purchase through most major Digital providers. And if you're looking to purchase the film online, AMC's On Demand platform has the best deal as of this publishing, with the film available to own for just $5.99.
