Peacock to Stream Ambulance Starting Nov. 23
Michael Bay's 2022 action thriller moves from Netflix to Peacock on November 23, 2026.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Action/Adventure
Peacock will begin streaming Michael Bay's 2022 action film Ambulance on November 23, 2026, and the title will no longer be available on Netflix after that date. The film follows brothers Danny and Will Sharp after a botched bank robbery, when they hijack an ambulance and take EMT Cam hostage.
Why it matters
The switch moves a mid-budget action film from one major streaming service to another, shifting where U.S. viewers can access it. Viewers who want to keep watching the film will need a Peacock subscription after the date.
The film earned $52 million at the box office against a $40 million production budget, a return that is modest relative to its cost. Critical reception was mixed, with a 68% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating and an 87% Popcornmeter audience score.

Timeline
April 8, 2022: Ambulance is released.
November 23, 2026: Ambulance begins streaming on Peacock and leaves Netflix.
Industry Dynamics
Licensing moves like this one reflect the broader practice of studios and streamers rotating older catalog titles between services to drive subscriptions. Such rotations have become a recurring feature of the streaming market as platforms compete for a fixed pool of mid-budget films.
Viewers who want to watch Ambulance after November 23, 2026 will need a Peacock subscription rather than a Netflix one. The change affects only where the film can be streamed, not its availability for purchase or rental elsewhere, which the source does not address.
The takeaway
Streaming catalogs shift frequently, so viewers planning to watch a specific title should check which service carries it before subscribing. Checking availability ahead of a scheduled change can prevent paying for a service solely to access one film.
What happens next
Ambulance begins streaming on Peacock on November 23, 2026, and will no longer be available on Netflix from that date.
