Emma Stone’s Sci-Fi Caper ‘Bugonia’ Hits Streaming: How to Watch the Lanthimos-Plemons Reunion

Is your neighbor an alien in disguise? The surreal minds behind 'Poor Things' are back to test your sanity. Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, officially made its streaming debut today, December 26, 2025. After a buzzy theatrical run, this conspiracy thriller is now ready to invade your living room.

From South Korean Cult Classic to Hollywood Prestige

According to Mashable, Bugonia is a reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 South Korean film 'Save the Green Planet!'. The plot follows Teddy (Plemons), a beekeeper convinced that Michelle Fuller (Stone), a big pharma CEO, is actually an extraterrestrial threat. What begins as a kidnapping plot evolves into a sharp critique of capitalism and class politics, all wrapped in Lanthimos’ signature uncomfortable humor.

The film currently holds a strong 87% critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. With three Golden Globe and three Critics Choice nominations already in the bag, the industry expects Oscar nods to follow. While some critics argue it lacks the profundity of Lanthimos’ earlier works, audiences have embraced its wild energy, granting it an 84% audience score.
