Jack Black has been cracking up audiences as Po the panda, a kung fu master who fights for good, since 2008, and he’s not stopping any time soon. The action-packed animated franchise is now on its fourth installation — that’s not counting the short films, animated series, holiday special, and string of video games — and it’s still keeping things fun and fresh. In Kung Fu Panda 4, Viola Davis, Awkwafina, and Ke Huy Quan join the already stacked Kung Fu Panda cast for Po’s latest adventure.

If you missed it in theaters or want to watch it for a second (or third or fourth time), it’s making its way to streaming as of June 21. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Kung Fu Panda 4 and its predecessors online and at home.

What is Kung Fu Panda 4 about?

Po’s kung fu instructor Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) informs him that he must relinquish his title as Dragon Warrior and find a new hero to take over so he can fulfill his destiny as the new Spiritual Leader of the Valley of the Peace. The thing is there’s a new threat on the rise: a shapeshifting sorceress chameleon (Davis) who aims to conquer the world by stealing the Staff of Wisdom. In order to defeat her, Po teams up with fox thief Zhen (Awkwafina). Expect plenty of action and self-discovery along the way.

Want a sneak peek of Po’s newest adventure? Here’s the official trailer.

Is Kung Fu Panda 4 worth watching?

If you’re a fan of Po’s previous films, you can expect everything you love about the first three in Kung Fu Panda 4: fight scenes, plenty of laughs, and a big emphasis on found family and spiritual growth. As Mashable’s Belen Edwards writes in her review, “Kung Fu Panda 4 certainly features all these ingredients, and even if it doesn’t reinvent the wheel on most of them, it still cooks them together in an enjoyable broth. Sure, it doesn’t come close to topping its predecessors, but it’s another kick-butt entry in what has proven to be a wonderfully dependable animated franchise.” Translation: if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Viewers seem to largely agree, awarding it an 87 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes (compared to the good-not-great 72 percent critic rating). It also earned an impressive $543 million at the worldwide box office, which surpasses the earnings of Kung Fu Panda 3 and brings the total franchise earnings to over $2 billion. For the fourth installment of an animated film, it’s largely a success.

When is Kung Fu Panda 4 streaming?

Kung Fu Panda 4 will make its streaming debut on Peacock on June 21, 2024, about three and a half months after its theatrical release. Additionally, in celebration of the franchise’s 16th anniversary, Peacock will also exclusively stream Kung Fu Panda starting June 6 and Kung Fu Panda 3 starting June 26. To complete the saga, you’ll need to either rent or purchase Kung Fu Panda 2, as it currently isn’t streaming anywhere.

The greatest Peacock streaming deals

Before you sign up for Peacock, do yourself a favor and check out the greatest streaming deals below. Many people qualify for a discounted Peacock subscription — or even a free account.

Greatest long-term Peacock deal

If you want the most bang for your buck, Peacock is currently offering a one-year subscription for just $19.99 through June 30 — that’s 67% in savings. Just enter the code STREAMTHEDEAL at checkout to knock the usual $59.99 per year for Peacock Premium down to $19.99 for your first year. Once your initial year is up, your subscription will jump back up to full price (or, of course, you can cancel before then). You’ll have to watch some ads, sure, but for the price, it’s a deal that’s hard to beat. In comparison, the Premium Plus plan without ads would run you $100 more per year.

Note: This deal excludes current Peacock Premium and Premium Plus subscribers.

Greatest Peacock deal for Xfinity customers

Select Xfinity customers are eligible for a free Peacock Premium account. Here’s a breakdown of who’s included in the offer:

• Xfinity Internet users on the Gigabit or Gigabit+ plans can score free Peacock Premium for two years (offer ends June 25, 2025).

• Xfinity Internet customers who are also Diamond or Platinum Xfinity Rewards members can score Peacock Premium for free by redeeming a reward for it. Sign in at xfinity.com/rewards and choose Peacock as a reward. Then, wait for your email (it may take a few hours) with instructions on activating the offer.

• NOW TV customers can also receive Peacock Premium as part of their service.

• New customers with Xfinity Internet and an X1 TV Box, Flex streaming TV Box, or a Xumo Stream Box from Xfinity can get Peacock Premium for free for six months.

Greatest Peacock deal for students

If you have a verifiable student email address, you can score Peacock Premium for just $1.99 per month for an entire year. Once you verify your student status, you’ll get a personal promo code to secure the discount. Just remember that your personal code can only be used once — so no sharing!

Greatest Peacock deal for first responders

First responders can also take advantage of the special $1.99 per month pricing so long as they can verify their first responder status via SheerID. Just sign up using the personal promo code you receive to secure the discount. For those who continue to meet verification qualifications, you can renew the deal annually. You’ll just have to go through the process each time to receive a new promo code each year. Learn more about eligibility terms and requirements.

Greatest for Instacart users

In Dec. 2023, Instacart partnered with Peacock to offer new and existing Instacart+ members a free Peacock Premium account. That’s a $59.99 per year value for zero dollars. If you haven’t taken advantage of this freebie yet, head over to your Instacart account to sign up. Not an Instacart+ member? Sign up for $99.99 per year and get free grocery delivery on orders over $35, lower fees, credit back on eligible pickup orders, and other perks. Your first two weeks are free.

Greatest for JetBlue members

Through July 2025, JetBlue TrueBlue members can earn 1,000 free TrueBlue points when they sign up for Peacock. Meanwhile, TrueBlue members with Mosaic status can score an entire year of Peacock Premium (with ads) for free — that’s a $59.99 value. The offer is only valid for new Peacock subscribers. Read more about eligibility and terms over on Peacock’s special offer page.

Other ways to watch Kung Fu Panda 4

If you don’t have Peacock and don’t care to sign up, you can also rent or purchase the fourth film in the franchise at digital retailers like Prime Video and Apple TV. (You can watch every movie in the Kung Pu Panda franchise this way, too.) With rentals, just be aware that you’ll have a limited 30-day viewing schedule and just 48 hours to finish once you click play.
