How to watch Paddington in Peru at home? Digital release date, platforms, and more

StudioCanal’s third installment of the Paddington live-action animated feature film, Paddington in Peru, is available on digital platforms from April 1, 2025, after a successful box office run. The film grossed over $191 million worldwide with a production budget of $90 million. It is based on the children’s book series Paddington by the late author Michael Bond.

Paddington in Peru marks the feature film debut of director Dougal Wilson. Paul King, who was also the director in the previous two installments, continues as an executive producer for this one. In an interview with FILMHOUNDS’s Lucy Carter in November 2024, Douglas Wilson expanded on how closely he planned for the Paddington world to mirror the real one.

“I was kind of cut off from the real world for about two years while I was making the film, but of course I was aware of what was going on. We try not to be too on the nose with Paddington in terms of commenting directly about anything,” he said.

He continued:

“But I think Paddington's approach to the world, his innocence and his tolerance, are all obviously great qualities that we should all be aspiring to. Sometimes we fall short. It's difficult. If everyone was like Paddington, that would be great.”

Paddington in Peru explores deeper into Paddington’s past and childhood. He was raised as a cub by his Aunt Lucy, who now stays at the Home for Retired Bears in Peru.

They find clues along the way and decide to make their way through the wilderness to track her down. They discover that finding Aunt Lucy might include locating the lost city of El Dorado and its hidden riches.

Somewhere along the journey, Paddington finds himself separated from his family and unwillingly partnered up with the sly boat captain, Hunter Cabot. By the end of the movie, with various trials and tribulations filled with comedy of errors, Paddington discovers the secret to his origins and ancestry, and lots of marmalade.
