If you missed Liam Neeson's action comedy The Naked Gun in theaters, worry not, as the film is making it's way to your streaming screens. As the legacy sequel to one of the most iconic slapstick comedy franchises of the last few decades, the film finally has a release date for streaming and it's closer than you think.

Distributed by Paramount Pictures, The Naked Gun will be available for streaming on Paramount+ starting September 30th. It was previously available to rent and buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, but will now be streaming only on Paramount+. Plans for the streaming platform start at $5.99/month or $59.99/year with ads, and the ad-free subscription starts from $11.99/month or $119.99/year.

Premiering at Manhattan’s SVA Theater on July 28, before hitting U.S. theaters August 1 via Paramount Pictures, the 85-minute action comedy has already pulled in $102 million on a $42 million budget and won over critics who feared the spoof genre was extinct.

Directed by Akiva Schaffer from a screenplay he co-wrote with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, this legacy sequel is as outrageous as it is overdue. Backed by producers Seth MacFarlane and Erica Huggins of Fuzzy Door Productions, the film shrugs off its long development purgatory and emerges as the fourth official entry into the franchise.

It took more than three decades, a scrapped TV sequel, a shelved Ed Helms reboot, and even a parody script titled Naked: Impossible before The Naked Gun finally roared back to life. Now, in 2025, the bumbling brilliance of Police Squad has a new heir: Frank Drebin Jr., played, against all odds and in full deadpan glory, by Liam Neeson.

The plot revolves around Neeson’s Drebin Jr. who is the son of the late, great Leslie Nielsen’s iconic Lt. Frank Drebin, and gets his own absurd odyssey when Police Squad faces closure. In true Naked Gun fashion, the plot careens from disguises gone wrong to anarchic set pieces. At the heart of the chaos: billionaire villain Richard Cane, played by Danny Huston, who plans to use a stolen device called “P.L.O.T.” short for Primordial Law Of Toughness, to reduce humanity to its basest instincts. Drebin Jr. and Pamela Anderson’s Beth Davenport, sister to a suspiciously deceased software engineer, stumble through car chases, nightclub brawls, and even a threesome with a homicidal snowman before a finale that literally weaponizes a New Year’s Eve ball drop.

The cast gleefully expands the madness: Paul Walter Hauser as Capt. Ed Hocken Jr., Kevin Durand as the henchman Gustafson, CCH Pounder as Police Chief Davis, and cameos from Priscilla Presley, Busta Rhymes, MMA fighters Justin Gaethje and Kamaru Usman, and the eternal Naked Gun staple, “Weird Al” Yankovic.


The Naked Gun will be available for streaming on Paramount+ from September 30, 2025.
