The sci-fi thriller "Under the Skin," starring Scarlett Johansson, is now available to stream for free on Tubi [1].
This move expands the accessibility of the R-rated film to a wider audience by removing the subscription barrier previously associated with its distribution. By transitioning to an ad-supported model, the movie reaches viewers who do not pay for premium streaming services.
The film has officially shifted its streaming home from Netflix to Tubi [2]. This change is the result of a licensing agreement move that allows the platform to offer the movie at no cost to the viewer [2].
"Under the Skin" is now available to watch for free on Tubi, the Polygon editorial team said [1]. The film's transition allows it to be streamed at no charge, MSN Entertainment staff said [2].
The availability of the film on a free service highlights the ongoing shift in how independent and niche cinema is distributed in the digital age. While high-budget blockbusters often remain behind paywalls, titles like "Under the Skin" are increasingly finding second lives on free, ad-supported television (FAST) platforms.
Viewers can access the movie through the Tubi app or website without a paid subscription. The service provides the content in exchange for viewing advertisements during the film's runtime.

The migration of 'Under the Skin' to Tubi reflects a broader industry trend where studios leverage ad-supported streaming services to monetize library content after initial high-value licensing windows with subscription giants like Netflix expire. This transition typically increases a film's discoverability and total viewership while shifting the revenue model from flat licensing fees to ad-impression shares.
