How To Watch Dog Man - Showtimes And Streaming Status
Following up on the Oscar-nominated hit The Wild Robot, Universal and DreamWorks are bringing another popular children's book (well, comic) to the screen. This time, the animation studio turned to the famed comics of Dav Pilkey. Instead of a sequel to Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, the next project in the franchise is based on a Captain Underpants spin-off, Dog Man.
With Pete Davidson voicing Dog Man's nemesis, and the director, Pete Hastings, providing "voice effects" for the titular police dog, Dog Man is one of the first big releases for families in 2025. If you’re planning to watch Dog Man in theaters this weekend, check out the details below.

Dog Man Streaming Release Date
Dog Man will eventually stream on Peacock instead of Netflix or Disney+ because Universal is distributing the film. Looking at other Universal releases, in 2024 both The Wild Robot and Despicable Me 4 were in theaters for a little over three months before landing on Peacock. Assuming Dog Man follows a similar timeline, the animated feature should be available to stream on Peacock sometime in late April or early May.
What Is Dog Man About?
Dog Man adapts the Dog Man comics by Dav Pilkey, which are a spin-off of his other famous comic series, Captain Underpants. Here’s the movie’s official synopsis:
When a police officer and his faithful police dog get injured in the line of duty, a harebrained but life-saving surgery fuses the two of them together – and Dog Man is born. As Dog Man learns to embrace his new identity, he must stop feline supervillain Petey the Cat from cloning himself and going on a crime spree.
