Looking for where to watch The Help? You can currently find The Help online through Hulu, YouTube TV, and Amazon Video. Availability changes often, so we separate subscription, free, rental, and purchase options below.

Aibileen Clark is a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children and has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson is an African-American maid who has often offended her employers despite her family's struggles with money and her desperate need for jobs; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan is a young white woman who has recently moved back home after graduating college to find out her childhood maid has mysteriously disappeared. These three stories intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help"; yet they are always kept at a certain distance because of racial lines.

The Help trailer

The Help (2011), directed by Tate Taylor, is a drama film and is available to stream on 7 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.1/10 and 75% on Rotten Tomatoes from 8,967 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Originally released in 2011, it's now a streaming staple.

The film stars Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Bryce Dallas Howard. At 146 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.

If you're looking to watch The Help online, the best option is Hulu for subscribers, and it's also included with YouTube TV, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Forrest Gump and Metropolis, both of which are available to stream right now.
