Alan Ritchson’s New Action Thriller Sets Hulu Release Date for Next Month

Alan Ritchson’s action thriller Runner, co-starring Owen Wilson, is heading to Hulu on November 27, 2026, following its theatrical and digital releases earlier this year.

The film adds another action-packed title to Ritchson’s growing list of streaming releases. Best known for playing Jack Reacher in Prime Video’s Reacher, the actor has continued to build his profile with films across multiple platforms, including Netflix’s sci-fi action hit War Machine.

With Runner arriving on Hulu later this month, viewers will soon have another opportunity to catch Ritchson in a leading role alongside Wilson.

When Does ‘Runner’ Arrive on Hulu?

Runner will begin streaming on Hulu on November 27. The film first opened in theaters on September 11, reportedly earning $18 million at the box office before arriving on digital platforms on October 13.

Its move to Hulu gives the action thriller another chance to reach viewers at home, following its theatrical run and digital release.

The timing also comes after a busy year for Ritchson’s television career. Reacher continued to keep the actor in the spotlight, while the spin-off series Neagley featured a guest appearance from Ritchson as Jack Reacher.

Alan Ritchson Continues His Streaming Success

Ritchson has remained a familiar face across streaming platforms, thanks to a mix of action, science fiction, and comedy projects.

His 2026 release War Machine attracted significant attention on Netflix, while earlier films such as Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and Playdate have also found streaming audiences.

Runner now has an opportunity to build its own audience on Hulu. The service’s November lineup also includes films such as The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel, and the Meg movies starring Jason Statham.

‘Runner’ Earns Positive Reviews From Critics and Audiences

One factor that could help Runner attract viewers is its reported reception from critics and audiences.

According to the Rotten Tomatoes scores cited in the original report, the film holds a 78% critics’ score and an 89% audience score, based on 64 critic reviews at the time of publication.

The performances of Ritchson and Wilson, along with the film’s blend of action, comedy, and emotional moments, have been among the elements highlighted in its reception.

Those scores place Runner ahead of Ritchson’s War Machine, Motor City, and Playdate in the critic and audience ratings cited in the report. Whether that reception translates into a major streaming audience remains to be seen.
