Evening Mr. or Mrs. Reader, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find out through this article when Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning arrives on the Paramount+ streaming service and receive all subsequent details.
The seventh film in the long-running franchise around about as long as Star Trek will arrive on Paramount+ in the United States and Canada on January 25, just a week from announcement. International markets will have to wait at least an extra week, as rollout begins in February. Following the previously reported delay of the eighth film from June 28, 2024 to May 23, 2025 that would see it shed the Dead Reckoning - Part Two subtitle in favor of something else still to be announced, “Part One” has gracefully been dropped from Dead Reckoning. It appears as such on its streaming poster and most certainly will on its Paramount+ thumbnail and page.
As the plot synopsis goes “Ethan Hunt and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With the fate of the world at stake, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.” Said threat turns out to be a world-threatening AI, known as The Entity. The film stars Tom Cruise once again as Ethan Hunt, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust, Pom Klementieff as Paris, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn and the Entity AI that mimicked him, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Esai Morales as Gabriel, and Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis. Mariela Garriga, Shea Whigham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Charles Parnell, Frederick Schmidt, Cary Elwes, Mark Gatiss, Indira Varma and Rob Delaney also have roles in the film, with Henry Czerny returning from the very first. The next film, whatever it will be called, was filmed at least around when Dead Reckoning was, and thus features much of the same cast and crew, including director Christopher McQuarrie.
Now, let’s measure that theatrical-to-streaming window. From its July 12 release to a January 25 streaming arrival, that’s 198 days. That’s huge in the current environment, and probably a Cruise stipulation since he adores the theatrical experience so much. Still, it’s 11 days shorter than Top Gun: Maverick’s 209 days in 2022 from Memorial Day weekend to shortly before Christmas. This is especially notable, as basically every other Paramount film has stuck to the 45 day windows the studio has been liking in this era. And spoiler alert: It’s not set to change for Mean Girls either, due to arrive at the end of February. This message will self-destruct, conceptually, in your heart.
