Netflix is taking us back in time this fall – literally. Beginning November 1, 2025, the entire Back to the Future trilogy will be available to stream, marking the return of one of cinema’s most beloved sci-fi adventures to the small screen. Whether you’re a longtime fan who can quote every Doc Brown one-liner or a first-time viewer about to meet Marty McFly for the very first time, this is your chance to experience the iconic story in one binge-worthy sitting.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, Back to the Future (1985) remains one of the most celebrated films of the 1980s. It’s a genre-bending mix of comedy, adventure, and science fiction that still feels fresh 40 years later. Michael J. Fox stars as Marty McFly, a teenager accidentally sent back to 1955 in a DeLorean-turned-time machine built by the eccentric Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd). What follows is a wild ride through time, paradoxes, and rock ‘n’ roll that cemented both actors as pop culture icons.
Netflix subscribers will also gain access to the sequels, Back to the Future Part II (1989) and Back to the Future Part III (1990), each expanding the universe in new directions. Part II famously takes viewers to the “future” of 2015, complete with hoverboards and self-lacing sneakers, while Part III trades the flux capacitor for a cowboy hat in a time-hopping Western adventure.
This marks the first time in several years that the full trilogy has been available on a major streaming platform in the U.S., and the timing couldn’t be better. With the resurgence of retro pop culture and the continued popularity of sci-fi storytelling, the Back to the Future series feels more relevant than ever. The films’ themes of destiny, family, and the butterfly effect have stood the test of time — not to mention Alan Silvestri’s unforgettable score and the unmistakable sound of a DeLorean hitting 88 miles per hour.
The Back to the Future trilogy joins an already strong November lineup for Netflix, which includes new original films, returning shows, and a growing list of classic favorites. But for fans of 80s cinema, there’s something extra special about revisiting Hill Valley, the clock tower, and all those “great Scott!” moments that helped define a generation of movie lovers. So grab your Pepsi Perfect, charge up your flux capacitor, and get ready to stream, because on November 1st, the future (and the past) are coming to Netflix.
