Is “Challengers” streaming?

For the time being, no. “Challengers” will be something you can only see in theaters for its debut. Eventually though, as an Amazon MGM project, it will end up streaming on Prime Video. An exact streaming release date hasn’t been set yet, but we’ll keep you updated when it does.

Who stars in “Challengers”?

The movie centers on a love triangle, so rounding out the trio — or perhaps, angling it off? — alongside Zendaya are “West Side Story” breakout Mike Faist and “The Crown’s” Josh O’Connor.

What is “Challengers” about?

“Challengers” centers on Tashi Duncan (Zendaya), a former tennis prodigy whose career is seemingly ended after a bad injury to her knee. From there, she pivots into coaching, aiming to help her husband (Faist) snap a losing streak.

Per the official logline of the film: Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor) — his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.
