It's been a rough stretch for Mark Wahlberg at the box office, but fans craving a dose of his comedic brilliance can soon revisit one of his most beloved films. The Other Guys, the 2010 buddy cop satire that paired Wahlberg with Will Ferrell, is officially heading to Starz starting June 1, 2026.
Directed by Adam McKay, the film follows two mismatched NYPD detectives—Wahlberg's hotheaded Terry Hoitz and Ferrell's mild-mannered Allen Gamble—as they stumble into a massive financial conspiracy. The movie also features memorable cameos from Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson, though their screen time is famously brief. Despite a lukewarm box office run—earning $170 million worldwide against a $100 million budget—The Other Guys has since become a cult favorite, praised for its sharp satire and quotable dialogue.
For Wahlberg, this streaming debut arrives during a challenging period. Since 2016, none of his films have cracked a 48% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with recent misfires including Flight Risk, Play Dirty, and the soccer comedy Balls Up. Even his Prime Video heist thriller Play Dirty failed to ignite. But The Other Guys remains a high point, showcasing the chemistry that made Wahlberg and Ferrell an unlikely but winning duo.
Looking ahead, Wahlberg hopes to reverse his fortunes with the historical crime thriller By Any Means, set for release on Labor Day 2026. The film, co-starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Giancarlo Esposito, follows a mafia hitman and an FBI agent investigating the murders of civil rights leaders in 1960s Mississippi. It's a dramatic pivot that could remind audiences of Wahlberg's range.
Until then, fans can enjoy The Other Guys on Starz. The streamer has been building a strong library of crime and comedy titles, including Prime Video's 94% RT crime thriller 'ZeroZeroZero' and the upcoming Apple TV+ 'Cape Fear' remake. For those who love a good crime caper with laughs, this is a perfect addition.
Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the film, The Other Guys offers a welcome escape from Wahlberg's recent disappointments. Mark your calendars for June 1, and get ready to chase waterfalls—literally and figuratively.
