Borderlands Streaming Release Date
Borderlands will eventually be released on Starz, rather than Netflix or Disney+, followed by Peacock, given distributor Lionsgate's licensing deals.
Lionsgate has yet to announce a streaming release date for Borderlands. Two of the distributor's next movies to hit streaming — The Strangers: Chapter One and Imaginary — will come to Starz 136 and 180 days after their respective theatrical debuts. Should the distributor follow suit here, Borderlands would come to Starz between Christmas and early February.
What Is Borderlands About?
Borderlands is an adaptation of Gearbox and 2K's high-octane, looter-shooter video game franchise. Here's the official synopsis from Lionsgate:
Lilith, an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas, the universe’s most powerful S.O.B.
Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits – Roland, a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina, a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg, Tina’s musclebound protector; Tannis, the oddball scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap, a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other.
