Is Interstellar on Netflix?

Interstellar isn't on Netflix everywhere - availability depends on your country. Here's the current list for 2026, plus how to unlock it with a VPN.

No, Interstellar isn't on Netflix in the United States. In the US it streams on Paramount+ and Amazon Prime Video instead. That single fact is why so many searches for it turn up nothing. Netflix does carry Interstellar in a few other countries right now, including Italy, France, and Switzerland, and a VPN can put your account in one of them within a couple of minutes.

Last verified: October 5, 2026VPN Super checked JustWatch's country pages for this movie. On that date, JustWatch lists Netflix as a streaming option for Interstellar in Italy, France, and Switzerland among the countries checked. Canada and Sweden, which earlier versions of this post listed, no longer show Netflix on JustWatch. That kind of churn is normal for licensed movies, and it's exactly why a country list needs a date stamped on it.

Which countries have Interstellar on Netflix right now?

Netflix licenses movies country by country, and each deal expires, renews, or moves to a competitor on its own schedule. That's why one country's Netflix carries a title that another country's Netflix has never had. As of October 5, 2026, here's where Interstellar is streaming on Netflix.

Availability verified against JustWatch on October 5, 2026.

Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Turkey appeared in earlier versions of this table. Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Poland, and Slovakia no longer show Netflix on JustWatch, and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Greece, Romania, Slovenia, and Turkey couldn't be confirmed on that date, so none of them are listed.

Notably absent: the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, India, Germany, and Spain. Older guides to this movie sometimes list Australia or Spain as confirmed markets. Neither carries it on Netflix at the time of writing, so treat any list that includes them as outdated.

If your country isn't on the table above, the movie isn't missing. It's licensed to a different Netflix library for now, which is the exact situation a VPN is built to get around.

Why Interstellar keeps moving between platforms

Christopher Nolan's film follows a former NASA pilot who leads a crew through a newly discovered wormhole, searching for a habitable planet as Earth's soil fails. It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, holds a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and sits at 8.7 on IMDb. Titles with that kind of staying power tend to get re-licensed across different regional catalogs for years after release, which is part of why its Netflix availability keeps shifting instead of settling.

How to watch Interstellar on Netflix from anywhere

Netflix decides which library to show based on the location it detects, not the country on your billing address. Connect to a server in a country where Interstellar is streaming, and Netflix reads that server's location instead of your real one.

Recommended setup

  • Premium servers in one of the countries above. Premium plans cover 64 countries and 104 locations on both iOS and Android, and the Windows and Mac apps run on Premium servers only.
  • Kill switch turned on. It shipped for iOS in June 2026 and for Android in July 2026, but it ships off by default, so switch it on manually before you connect.
  • DNS and IPv6 leak protection, which run automatically on iOS and Android without any setup on your part.

1. Download VPN Super

Install VPN Super from the App Store or Google Play. The free plan covers 20 countries and 42 locations on iOS, or 15 countries and 26 locations on Android, which is enough to test a server in Switzerland before deciding whether Premium is worth it.

2. Connect to a server in a country from the list above

Open the app, pick a country such as Italy or France, and connect. Give the connection a few seconds to settle before opening anything else.

3. Reload Netflix and search

Close the Netflix app completely, reopen it, and search for Interstellar. It should appear within a minute or two. If it doesn't, disconnect and reconnect to a different server in the same country. Netflix sometimes blocks a specific IP address rather than an entire VPN provider, and a fresh server usually clears that up.

Watching Interstellar on Netflix

Watching Interstellar without a VPN

A VPN isn't the only route. In several of the markets missing from Netflix's list, Interstellar is licensed elsewhere.

  • United States: Paramount+ and Amazon Prime Video, with rental options on Apple TV and Amazon Video.
  • United Kingdom: HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, and Now TV.
  • Australia: Stan, BINGE, and HBO Max.
  • India: JioHotstar and Amazon Prime Video.

None of those require a VPN, but they do mean a separate subscription or a rental fee on top of whatever you're already paying for.

What else changes when you use a VPN for streaming

Switching your Netflix library isn't the only thing that happens when you connect. Every site visited during that session routes through VPN Super's servers instead of your home network, which is why a streaming VPN has to get privacy right and not just unblocking. VPN Super doesn't track or store browsing activity. Unblocking a movie shouldn't come with a log of everywhere else you went that evening sitting on someone else's server.

Before you connect

  • No-logs by design: browsing activity isn't tracked or stored.
  • Kill switch live now on iOS and Android, though it's off by default until you turn it on.
  • DNS and IPv6 leak protection running automatically in the background.
  • See the full breakdown of VPN Super features by platform before picking a plan.

Is Interstellar on Netflix in the US?

No. JustWatch doesn't list it on Netflix in the US. As of October 2026 it streams on Paramount+ and Amazon Prime Video, with rental options on Apple TV and Amazon Video.

Which countries currently have Interstellar on Netflix?

As of October 2026, JustWatch lists it on Netflix in France, Italy, and Switzerland among the countries checked. Canada, Sweden, and the other countries named in earlier versions of this post no longer show Netflix on JustWatch or couldn't be confirmed.

Can I use a VPN to watch Interstellar on Netflix?

Yes. Connecting to a server in a country where the movie is currently licensed changes the library Netflix shows your account.

Is it legal to use a VPN with Netflix?

VPNs are legal in most countries. Using one to reach a Netflix library outside your region isn't illegal on its own, but it does go against Netflix's terms of service, so there's a small risk of a warning or a temporary block.

Does Interstellar's Netflix availability change often?

Yes. Licensed movies move between countries and services regularly, which is why any list, including this one, is a snapshot rather than a permanent answer.

A note on terms of serviceWatching content licensed for another region works against Netflix's terms of service, even though VPNs themselves are legal almost everywhere. Accounts caught doing it are more likely to get a warning than a ban, but the risk isn't zero. This isn't legal advice, so check the rules that apply in your own country before connecting.
