When will Puss in Boots: The Last Wish be on Netflix US?
As part of the first window deal, Netflix struck with Universal and its animation studios in 2021, and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will stream on Netflix US in 2023.
The next question is when the “first window” rights have been split between Peacock and Netflix.

- Netflix in South Korea will receive the movie around the same time in the US in 2023
- Netflix in Canada, Australia, and Japan usually receive new DreamWorks movies around two years after their initial release meaning Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will likely hit in 2025/26.
