Michael was one of the biggest movies of the year, and now the biopic has become available to stream at home (without paying for a digital rental).

The film stars Michael Jackson 's nephew, Jaafar, as the King of Pop during his rise to fame, culminating in Jackson's 1988 Bad World Tour. After Michael 's release in April, it went on to become one of the year's biggest films (so far), and the first biopic to gross more than $1 billion at the global box office. If you've been waiting to watch the biopic at home — or you're looking to revisit the story after seeing it in theaters — xclusively on STARZ.

The service doesn't offer a free trial directly, but you can get a free trial to STARZ through DirecTV's Premier package or Prime Video.
