Film Fans Ask: Is ‘Untouchables‘ Streaming on Netflix?
This Sunday evening, the broadcast of Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano’s hit film on TF1 is prompting a common question from subscribers: Can we (re) see it directly on netflix?
Released in 2011, Untouchables resonated with audiences, drawing over 19 million viewers in France. Inspired by the true story of Philippe Pozzo Di Borgo and Abdel Sellou, the film stars François Cluzet and Omar Sy in an iconic duo that later inspired remakes, including the American version The Upside with Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart.
TF1 Films Production’s financial contribution grants the channel priority broadcasting rights. This Sunday’s replay aligns with this strategy, as Untouchables remains a popular title thirteen years after its debut.However, the film is not currently in the Netflix catalog in France. Availability of Untouchables on Netflix varies by territory and distribution agreements. While some international Netflix versions have offered the film, it is not presently available on the French platform.TV and SVOD rights are fragmented, with the film appearing on other platforms periodically based on negotiation and rights repurchase.
This circulation of French films between traditional channels (TF1, M6, France Télévisions), streaming platforms (Netflix, Video Prime, Canal+ Series), and VOD services is typical for established cinema successes, unlike Netflix originals. This means Untouchables could reappear on Netflix in the future, but there is no confirmed timeline.
For those wishing to watch Untouchables this weekend, it will be broadcast on TF1 Sunday evening in prime time. Netflix has not yet acquired the rights to stream it for its French audience.
