Long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe turned comic book movies into a blockbuster machine, there was a vampire hunter in black leather who carried the studio on his back. The Blade trilogy—starring Wesley Snipes as the Daywalker—remains one of Marvel's most important and beloved trilogies, blending horror atmosphere, nasty action, and a lead performance that never begged for approval. Now, it's about to leave streaming at the end of April 2026.
According to ComicBook, Blade (1998), Blade II (2002), and Blade: Trinity (2004) are all scheduled to exit Peacock at the end of April, with no confirmed next streaming home lined up for May. That uncertainty matters. Usually, when recognizable franchise titles leave one service, another platform is already waiting to scoop them up. Here, there is no such safety net yet. Hulu and Disney+ offerings are already visible, Paramount+ has revealed its slate, and the trilogy is absent there, too.
Why the Blade Trilogy Still Matters
The original Blade earned about $131 million worldwide on a reported $45 million budget, while Blade II climbed higher with roughly $155 million worldwide against about $54 million. Even Blade: Trinity, the weakest of the three by reputation, still made around $132 million worldwide. The Rotten Tomatoes split tells the same story: Blade remains the fan favorite at 78% audience score, Blade II holds at 68%, and Trinity drops to 58%. So the demand clearly exists.
These movies tapped into something newer superhero movies rarely go for with the same conviction: real horror, creature-feature territory, and a cool, dangerous lead. Guillermo del Toro's Blade II pushed the series even deeper into that world, making it a standout among Marvel movie endings that still get talked about with genuine affection.
Where to Watch Blade Now
The strange thing about Blade leaving Peacock is that the trilogy is disappearing from subscription streaming despite still having an obvious audience pull. While there's no subscription-streaming home for Blade, Blade II, or Blade: Trinity after Peacock in sight, all three films are still available to buy or rent on Prime Video. Peacock losing it just means fans are being pushed back to rental and purchase because of low viewer traction, until some streamer eventually spots the gap and picks it again, hopefully.
For those who want to revisit the Daywalker's legacy, now is the time to stream it on Peacock before it vanishes. And if you're looking for other titles leaving Peacock soon, check out Mark Wahlberg's 'Rocky Meets The Departed' Boxing Drama 'The Fighter' Leaves Peacock in May 2026 or Michael Bay's 2007 'Transformers' Leaves Peacock in May 2026.
The Blade trilogy is scheduled to exit Peacock starting May 2026. All three films, however, will remain available to rent or buy from Prime Video. Stay tuned to ShowtimeSpot for more updates.
