How to Watch Run on Netflix in the United States

If you try to watch Run on Netflix in the USA you will be greeted with a message that reads “Oh no! This title currently isn’t available to watch in your country.”

While Run is not currently able to be streamed on Netflix, you can employ some sneaky methods to watch on Netflix. All you have to do is use a VPN to trick Netflix into thinking you are watching Run from a country where it is streaming.

Use a VPN to make your location appear as though it is in either Canada or Australia and you will be able to watch Run on Netflix in the United States of America.

Why Can’t I Watch Run on Netflix in The United States?

The thriller film Run starring Sarah Paulson is not currently available to stream on Netflix in the United States, which has left many viewers wondering why they can’t watch it. The reason boils down to licensing and distribution rights.

Run was produced by Lionsgate and originally released on Hulu in 2020. The licensing deal enables Hulu subscribers in America to watch Run via that streaming platform for a limited time.

So why hasn’t Run been picked up by Netflix for American audiences? Simply put, Netflix did not acquire the US streaming rights from Lionsgate and Hulu. Though Netflix did license the rights to stream Run on its platform in several other countries, the company did not pay for broadcasting rights in the United States in particular. Therefore, without a licensing deal in place, Netflix is unable to add Run to its US library despite requests from subscribers.

The good news is that the film may eventually come to Netflix in the US once a future licensing deal is struck. But for now, Americans who want to view Sarah Paulson’s thriller will have stream Run on Hulu or utilize a VPN to watch Netflix as if they were in another country. Licensing restrictions mean Netflix’s hands are tied until they finalize an agreement for US streaming rights.

Which Countries Can You Stream Run on Netflix?

If you are going the route of utilizing a VPN to watch Run on Netflix, you will need to identify which country Run is streaming on Netflix. Right now you can stream Run on Netflix in Australia and Canada.
