Liam Neeson’s latest comedy, The Naked Gun, is set to debut on streaming platforms on December 29, 2025. Following its theatrical release in August 2025, the film will be available for audiences on Prime Video. This announcement has generated considerable excitement among fans eager to see the film’s comedic take on the police genre.
The film introduces Liam Neeson as Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., a character who takes on the challenge of restoring the reputation of the LAPD’s Police Squad. The cast also features notable names such as Pamela Anderson as Beth Davenport, Paul Walter Hauser as Capt. Ed Hocken Jr., Danny Huston as Richard Cane, and CCH Pounder as Chief Davis. The plot follows Drebin Jr. as he goes undercover to thwart a robbery, unaware that the heist serves as a distraction for the theft of a high-tech device known as the P.L.O.T. Device.
Strong Reception and Box Office Success
Upon its release, The Naked Gun garnered positive reviews, achieving an impressive 87 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 334 critic reviews. Audience reception was also favorable, with a score of 73 percent. Wenlei Ma from The Nightly described the film as “an unadulterated good time, absolutely brimming with sight gags, one-liners, and goofy humour.” She noted the sequel’s commitment to silliness, stating, “It’s dumb but brilliantly dumb.”
In addition to critical acclaim, the film has also performed well financially, generating over $52 million at the domestic box office and approximately $49.5 million internationally, according to data from Box Office Mojo. With its upcoming streaming release, the film is expected to broaden its audience reach significantly.
As fans prepare for its arrival on Prime Video, the anticipation for The Naked Gun reflects both a nostalgic connection to the franchise and an eagerness to see how Neeson and the cast bring the beloved parody to life in this new iteration.
