Is The Apprentice Available To Stream?

We will let you know as this info gets released but for now, there's no official release date.

If it wasn't obvious, "The Apprentice" is not available on your favorite streaming services like Netflix! We don't really know when the film might be made available, or even where it might be shown, which platforms they're thinking of or even a date!

If anything is truly clear, "The Apprentice" has an incredibly high profile.

A Possible Date For Digital:

This is definitely going to get some discussion! However, previous films made by the production company, Briarcliff Entertainment! They had a tendency to make films available two months after the release but considering the movie is just weeks away from The 2024 US Presidential Election on November 5th, 2024.

There is a strong likelihood the film will come out as VOD before it has had a theatrical run and some viewers are pretty hyped! If it were to have this type of release then you could find this big film toward the end of October, right into November.

This one could get a whole new meaning after Election Day. It's hard not to imagine what might happen!
