Quentin Tarantino’s New Version Of Iconic 22-Year-Old Crime Thriller Officially Releases On Streaming Next Month

Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited new version of his hit two-part martial arts crime thriller from the early 2000s has finally landed a streaming release date.

Following a nationwide theatrical release in December 2025, NBCUniversal has now confirmed that the Tarantino-directed Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will exclusively premiere for streaming on Peacock on May 22, 2026. The approximately 275-minute film combines Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004) into one release, with this new version also integrating the animated The Lost Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge sequence after the closing credits.

Though the original Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair premiered at the Cannes Film Festival back in 2004, a subsequent theatrical release for the four-hour-long movie was canceled. After two decades, Tarantino finally released the new version of The Whole Bloody Affair with the anime sequence in a limited theatrical release in June 2025, with a wider theatrical release soon following in December.

Following its theatrical window, in which The Whole Bloody Affair earned over $7.5 million at the box office, the complete cut of Kill Bill landed a PVOD release in February 2026. Now, three months later, Tarantino’s latest vision of his hit martial arts saga gets another launch by coming to streaming on Peacock.

The original 2003 Kill Bill, starring Uma Thurman as “The Bride,” a mercenary who vows revenge on her former team of assassins after they attempt to kill her and her unborn child. Initially dividing the saga into two films, the October 2003 hit was followed by Kill Bill: Volume 2 six months later in April 2004, which continued and wrapped up The Bride’s fight for vengeance against the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Combined, the films earned over $330 million worldwide against reported $30 million budgets.

In addition to Thurman, Kill Bill‘s cast throughout The Whole Bloody Affair includes Lucy Liu, Vivca A. Fox, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Gordon Liu, Michael Parks, Chiaki Kuriyama, Samuel L. Jackson, Julie Dreyfus, and Sonny Chiba. The films mark the last time Thurman has starred in a Tarantino-directed film after the duo previously collaborated on 1994’s Pulp Fiction.

Since the martial arts saga’s original premieres in the early 2000s, the Kill Bill films have often ranked high among Quentin Tarantino’s best movies, with Thurman’s yellow jumpsuit and katana combination becoming iconic in pop culture. Tarantino’s return to the story with The Whole Bloody Affair in 2025 served as his first new theatrical release since his 2019 revisionist historical dramedy Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair Review: A New Cut Makes Tarantino’s Bloody Masterpiece Feel Bloated

New material—especially a Fortnite partnership—adds questionable value, but any chance to see Tarantino’s epic revenge story on screen is a gift.

With Tarantino long touting his 10th film will be his last, whichever project he premieres next looms large as potentially the final movie of his career. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood became his ninth, with the Kill Bill duology counting as one film in his 10-movie rule. Currently, Tarantino does not have an upcoming directed film on his slate after reportedly canceling The Movie Critic in 2024.

As anticipation for the next Tarantino-directed movie builds, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair‘s streaming premiere on Peacock still provides some exciting novelty related to the filmmaker as it showcases bonus sequences missing from the original films.
