"Conclave" might just be this year's Best Picture winner. It's certainly a strong contender for a few Oscars at next year's Academy Awards. It's received near-universally positive reviews since debuting at the Telluride Film Festival in August and it's done surprisingly well at the box office, already recouping its $20 million budget.

So with "Conclave" officially a critical hit and a popular choice for moviegoers, it's no surprise that people are interested to see when it will finally be available on one of the best streaming services.

Let's break down what "Conclave" is about and where you can stream it.

"Conclave" streaming release date

"Conclave" arrived on premium video-on-demand services like Amazon and Apple on Nov. 26, 2024.

The film is also now streaming on Peacock after arriving on Dec. 13, 2024.

That closely follows the release pattern of "The Holdovers," another smaller Focus Features movie that debuted at Telluride and then got a wide release at the end of October. Just like "Conclave" this year.

"Conclave" stars Ralph Fiennes as Cardinal Thomas Lawrence. When the pope suddenly dies of a heart attack, Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading the conclave to choose the new pope.

Part of that task involves digging into the closets of each papal candidate to dig up any skeletons that may be hidden within. That includes the four Cardinals that are considered the leading candidates: Bellini (Stanley Tucci), a liberal; Adeyemi (Lucian Msamati), a social conservative; Tremblay (John Lithgow), a mainstream conservative; and Tedesco (Sergio Castellitto), a reactionary traditionalist.

But it also includes Archbishop Vincent Benitez of Kabul (Carlos Diehz), who surprises everyone when he arrives to the papal conclave, claiming that the late pope secretly made him a cardinal.

While this may not be the deepest mystery thriller, you won't care after watching the incredible performance from Fiennes, as well as great supporting performances from Tucci, Lithgow, Castellitto and Isabella Rossellini. Here's where you'll be able to stream "Conclave."
