It's been a dozen years since Now You See Me hit theaters and nearly a decade since the sequel. In other words, with the upcoming third film, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, coming this fall, it's a good time to revisit the originals. Or, maybe even watch them for the first time.
The films feature a star-studded cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco as the Four Horsemen, Morgan Freeman as master magician Thaddeus Bradley, Mark Ruffalo as FBI agent Dylan Rhodes, and more. All are expected to return in Now You See Me 3, so it's essential to get caught up with the characters and lore of the films before heading to the theaters this fall. Movie marathon, anyone?
Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Now You See Me, Now You See Me 2, and Now You See Me: Now You Don't.
How many Now You See Me movies are there?
The fall release of Now You See Me: Now You Don't will be the third film in the Four Horsemen trilogy. The first film, Now You See Me, arrived in 2013 as a surprise hit. It grossed over $350 million at the worldwide box office. The sequel, Now You See Me 2, hit theaters in 2016 and brought in over $334 million.
When does Now You See Me: Now You Don't come out?
The upcoming third film in the Now You See Me franchise will arrive in theaters on Nov. 14, 2025. That's nearly 12.5 years to the day since the original film made its mark at the box office. In a time when cinema is struggling, it will certainly be interesting to see if Now You See Me: Now You Don't can live up to its predecessors.

Stream on Netflix
Both Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 are streaming on Netflix through Sept. 30. You can revisit the first two (or watch them for the first time) with plenty of time to reflect before the third installment is released in theaters this November.
Sadly, Netflix doesn't offer free trials, and it has really cracked down on password sharing. So you'll need your own Netflix subscription in order to stream the NYSM franchise. Fortunately, there are a few membership tiers to choose from.
Watching Netflix with ads is the most affordable option — it'll cost you $7.99 per month. Don't want ads? Your next-best choice is to sign up for Netflix Standard for $17.99 per month, which is a steep price jump. Finally, there's a third tier for new subscribers dubbed Netflix Premium. It'll cost you an outrageous $24.99 per month and will let you watch on four household devices at once (as opposed to the other plans' two devices) in 4K Ultra HD + HDR with no ads.
Are there any Netflix deals?
If you're lucky enough to be eligible for one of the deals below, you can score Netflix for free — or at least at a discount. Be sure to check the terms for more details and sign up before the deals disappear.
Best Netflix deal for T-Mobile customers
T-Mobile customers on most Go5G plans, as well as Experience Beyond and Experience More plans, get Netflix Standard with ads for free (reg. $7.99 per month). You just need to have two or more lines of any type of Go5G or Magenta plan, or at least one line of Go5G Next, Go5G Plus, Magenta MAX, Experience More, or Experience Beyond — and keep your account in good standing — in order to be eligible.
While the Netflix subscription is free for eligible customers, you'll have to manually activate it by logging into My.T-Mobile and selecting manage add-ons. Once there, add Netflix in the services section and you'll be prompted to either create a Netflix account or sign in to an existing one. Then, T-Mobile will take your Netflix bill out of your hands each month. Check out the terms and FAQs on the promo page.
Best Netflix deal for Verizon customers
As of December 2023, Verizon customers with myPlan can add a Netflix and HBO Max bundle (with ads) for just $10 per month ($6.99 per month in savings). Since HBO Max costs $9.99 on its own, that essentially gets you Netflix with ads for free (or one cent if you want to nitpick). Eligible Verizon customers include those on the Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus, or Unlimited Ultimate plans. After enrolling in the promo, you'll have to complete the account setup separately for each service. Eligibility details, terms, and FAQs can be found on the Verizon support page.
Best Netflix deal for Xfinity customers
Last year, Comcast announced its Xfinity StreamSaver package, which includes Netflix Standard with ads ($7.99 per month), Peacock Premium ($10.99 per month), and Apple TV+ ($9.99 per month). If you're an existing or new Xfinity Internet or TV customer, you can add the StreamSaver bundle to your services for only $15 per month. Typically $28.97 per month for all three, you'll save about $13.97 monthly.
