UPDATE: Jennifer Lopez’s highly anticipated musical film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, opens in theaters across the U.S. this weekend, starting Friday, October 10, 2025. This vibrant adaptation promises to bring a campy flair just in time for the Halloween season.
The film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bill Condon, known for his work on Chicago and Dreamgirls, and is based on the classic stage musical by Terrence McNally, John Kander, and Fred Ebb. Audiences are eager to see if Lopez can replicate the Oscar-winning legacy of William Hurt, who starred in the original 1985 film adaptation.
In Kiss of the Spider Woman, Diego Luna plays Valentin, a political prisoner who forms a unique bond with his cellmate, Molina, portrayed by Tonatiuh. Molina enchants Valentin with tales of his favorite Hollywood musical, featuring the iconic diva, Ingrid Luna, played by Lopez.
For now, moviegoers can watch Kiss of the Spider Woman exclusively in theaters. It is not available for streaming on platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, as it is distributed by Roadside Attractions, which holds a streaming deal with Hulu.
While there is no confirmed date for the film’s digital release, past films from Roadside Attractions suggest it may be available for video-on-demand by mid-November 2025. Historical data indicates that films from this distributor typically release digitally about one month after their theatrical debut.
Fans looking to stream Kiss of the Spider Woman should anticipate it landing on Hulu around March 2026, as the platform has exclusive rights during the post-theatrical window.
If you want to catch the 1985 classic Kiss of the Spider Woman, it is currently streaming on HBO Max.
