Wish Streaming Release Date
Wish will eventually be released on Disney+, rather than Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, or Max.
Disney has yet to announce a streaming release date for Wish, but given the recent history of Walt Disney Animation Studios releases, our best guess puts Wish on Disney+ around December 22. This is based on the studio's past two films — 2021's Encanto and 2022's Strange World — which were both released in November and came to Disney+ exactly one month later.
