Timothy Olyphant continues a solid streaming run with his R-rated thriller. Olyphant is a star who has been a part of some major projects over the years. Recently, he found a lot of success on streaming through very different TV shows. On the list of successful Olyphant projects on streaming are the Star Wars series The Mandalorian, where he played Cobb Vanth, Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet, where he gave life to Joel Hammond, as well as shows like Daisy Jones & the Six, Terminator Zero, Alien: Earth, Stick, and more. The list just goes on and on.

However, many of Olyphant's movies have also turned out to be huge hits on streaming after they were released in theaters, sometimes years later. Amsterdam and Havoc are two such recent cases, and they were joined in 2026 by a new R-rated thriller featuring Olyphant and an impressive cast. The actor's latest streaming sensation is Over Your Dead Body, an action comedy thriller that focuses on Jason Segel as Dan and Samara Weaving as Lisa, a problematic couple who plans each other's murder during a trip. Olyphant plays Pete, an escaped convict. Over Your Dead Body just hit a streaming milestone.

How Far Over Your Dead Body Has Gone So Far On Streaming

Olyphant's new R-rated thriller was released in theaters on April 24. After that, Over Your Dead Body was released on AMC+ in the United States on July 31. Now, the movie has finally passed the milestone of 30 days in AMC+'s Top 10 overall chart, cementing the thriller's staying power. Over Your Dead Body is currently the 2nd most-watched movie or TV show on AMC+. The only project to stand above it is The Walking Dead: Dead City, which is airing new episodes from season 3 weekly and hails from one of AMC's biggest franchises to date, The Walking Dead.

At the time of writing, Over Your Dead Body ranks higher than The Vampire Lestat, which was the title given to Interview with the Vampire season 3, Matt Damon's 2016 spy thriller Jason Bourne, and many more. Olyphant's new R-rated thriller first found streaming success on another home before its long run on AMC+. Back in June, Over Your Dead Body became the most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide, though it was not available on the streaming service in the United States. At the time, it ranked higher than movies like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War and Sydney Sweeney's The Housemaid.

Olyphant Will Keep His Streaming Crown In 2027

Over Your Dead Body's new streaming milestone on AMC+ will soon be followed by more streaming hits from Olyphant. The actor is set to reprise his role as James Stacy from Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in David Fincher's The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, which arrives on Netflix on December 23 after a brief theatrical run and should be a streaming hit well into 2027. Additionally, Alien: Earth season 2 is expected to premiere in 2027, and it should return as a streaming sensation on Hulu and Disney+ in the US and worldwide, carrying Over Your Dead Body's momentum for Olyphant.
