How to Watch the King of Staten Island Online: Release Date, Cast

Pete Davidson is King of the World...... Or rather, the King of Staten Island. Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson is starring in a new movie directed by Judd Apatow.

Apatow is returning to direct his first feature-length scripted film since 2015's Trainwreck. Since then, he has worked on a number of other films and TV shows as a producer and has been a constant presence in Hollywood (if not really). Davidson, meanwhile, has a constant presence on gossip sites thanks to his high-profile relationships with Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, and Margaret Qualley.

"The King of Staten Island," like Apatow's other films, focuses on cases of developmental disabilities. Like Davidson in real life, Scott lost his firefighter father at an early age. Like Davidson, growing up Scott still lives with his mother (Marisa Tomei), smoking pot and playing with friends all day. Then his mother starts dating an outspoken firefighter (Bill Burr), and Scott is forced to confront his grief and the reality of moving on with his life as an adult.

"The King of Staten Island" will have a rare digital premiere, as theaters were closed due to a coronavirus outbreak. It was originally scheduled to have its world premiere at South by Southwest in March. When that festival was canceled, the film was scheduled to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, which was also canceled.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch "The King of Staten Island" online right now.

So, as noted above, some people stuck abroad, away from countries where "The King of Staten Island" is available on premium video-on-demand, will likely run into geofence restrictions regarding available services. However, with a virtual private network (VPN), they can watch "The King of Staten Island" (and all other services in their home country) wherever they are.

Our favorite VPN is ExpressVPN, which is easy to use, offers fast internet speeds, and is easy to set up for streaming in no time. It also works with virtually any device, including iOS and Android, as well as streaming devices such as Amazon Fire TV Stick and Apple TV. In addition, it is also compatible with gaming consoles such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Other rentals available on most digital marketplaces:

In the UK, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, and other sites to rent "The King of Staten Island".

"The King of Staten Island" is only available as a premium video-on-demand (VOD) rental. This essentially replaces the theatrical release.

However, even after its "theatrical" release, it will not join Netflix's library because it is a Universal film. Since the studio is owned by Comcast, its films will likely migrate to the Peacock streaming service. So "The King of Staten Island" will probably stream later this year.
