Watch Me Before You: Streaming on Roku, Plex & More

Few romance films still hit quite like Me Before You — the 2016 tearjerker that turned Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin into household names. The movie isn’t on Netflix US, but it does stream today on MGM Plus and Plex via Roku.

Release Year: 2016 · Netflix Title ID: 80043744 · IMDb ID: tt2674426 · Current Streaming: MGM Plus Roku Premium Channel · Purchase Option: Amazon Video

Three platforms, two rental tiers, and one lesson about streaming rights — here’s the full picture.

Is Me Before You on Netflix?

No — and it never really was for US viewers. JustWatch, the streaming aggregator that tracks Netflix’s full catalog across regions, shows no current indication of Me Before You on Netflix US. That doesn’t mean it never appeared. According to Netflix Help (the platform’s official support documentation), titles “may not be available in a country if created before Netflix was available or able to acquire the exclusive rights.” Me Before You came out in 2016, years after Netflix’s original content strategy had already locked up competing deals.

Why rights matter more than popularity

Netflix explains that “other companies may hold regional rights preventing Netflix availability” even for older catalog titles. The platform owns worldwide rights for its own originals but not for pre-existing films that were financed and distributed under older licensing structures. JustWatch confirms the current streaming reality: Me Before You is available through MGM Plus on Roku, not through Netflix.

The content churn reality

Netflix rotates titles in and out constantly — JustWatch tracks over 7,697 titles on Netflix at any given time. But Me Before You apparently never cleared the licensing hurdle to appear on the platform in the first place. If you’re determined to watch on Netflix, there’s no confirmed date for a future addition.

Is Me Before You on any streaming service?

Yes — and in more places than you might expect. According to JustWatch’s US streaming guide, Me Before You currently streams on MGM Plus (the MGM Plus Roku Premium Channel, specifically), with rental and purchase options spread across multiple transactional platforms.

The full US availability picture

JustWatch lists current options in three tiers:

• Streaming (subscription): MGM Plus Roku Premium Channel
• Rent from $2.99–$5.99: Plex, Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Fandango at Home
• Purchase: Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Fandango at Home

There are also physical media options: DVD and Blu-ray are available through Amazon DVD/Blu-ray, GRUV, and Zavvi.

No free options right now

The plain reality, per JustWatch’s tracker: “There aren’t any free streaming options for Me Before You right now.” The cheapest route to watching is renting on Plex for $2.99.

What about Disney Plus?

Disney Plus has not added Me Before You to its catalog. The platform focuses on Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic titles. A Warner Bros. romantic drama doesn’t fit the profile. JustWatch shows no Disney Plus listing for the film.

How to watch and stream Me Before You on Roku

Roku is one of the most convenient ways to access Me Before You, with both the MGM Plus subscription channel and Plex rental available directly from the device. Here’s the step-by-step.

Step 1: Check your Roku is set up

Make sure your Roku device is connected to your TV and linked to your Roku account. Navigate to the Home screen.

Step 2: Find the streaming channel you want

Go to Streaming Channels → Channel Store. Search for “MGM Plus” or “Plex.”

Step 3: Add the channel

Select the channel and click Add Channel. MGM Plus requires a paid subscription (separate from your Roku account). Plex is free to download — you create a free Plex account to access rentals.

Step 4: Start watching

On MGM Plus: subscribe and browse to Me Before You in the catalog. On Plex: search for the title, select Rent, and pay $2.99 for SD access (HD/4K rental on Plex runs higher). Roku’s official Me Before You page confirms the rental and streaming options available on the device.

Roku shows the lowest-cost path

According to Roku’s platform, the device surfaces “lowest cost streaming options for titles like Me Before You” across all available services. The page also lists Fandango at Home rental from $5.99 for HD/4K quality — the premium option if you want the best picture.

Why do TV shows and movies leave Netflix?

Netflix removes content for a straightforward reason: licensing deals expire. Rights holders renegotiate, prices go up, or the title simply doesn’t perform well enough to justify renewal. Netflix’s own Help Center explains the principle directly.

The two reasons Me Before You was never there

For Me Before You specifically, there appear to be two layers to the Netflix absence:

• Pre-Netflix production: The film predates Netflix’s aggressive push into licensed catalog titles. By 2016, Netflix had pivoted to originals and was already losing licensing battles for older studio content.
• Regional rights fragmentation: Even if Netflix wanted Me Before You, Warner Bros. (the likely rights holder) may have already licensed to MGM Plus for streaming. Netflix confirms that “other companies may hold regional rights preventing Netflix availability.”

What JustWatch tracks

JustWatch, which monitors Netflix’s evolving catalog, tracks 7,697 titles on the platform. Me Before You has not appeared on that list. The aggregator also lets you filter Netflix’s catalog by genre, release date, IMDb rating, and new titles — and set alerts when specific movies show up.

Where to watch Me Before You 2?

There is no confirmed Me Before You sequel on any streaming platform. The 2016 film was adapted from Jojo Moyes’ novel, and while Moyes wrote a follow-up book (Still Me), no theatrical or streaming sequel has been announced as of April 2026.

What to do if you’re waiting for a sequel

If a sequel materializes — whether another Moyes adaptation or a spiritual follow-up — it will likely appear on MGM Plus first (given the connection to the first film) or land on Netflix as a potential original. JustWatch is the tool to watch: it provides timeline tracking for new additions across streaming services and lets users set alerts for specific titles. Check JustWatch periodically for any Me Before You sequel announcements.

The sequel question is a dead end for now

Until Warner Bros. or MGM announces a sequel, Me Before You streaming availability is a one-film story. The practical move is to watch the original in whatever form is cheapest for you right now — and set a JustWatch alert for future updates.

The implication: Me Before You’s streaming fate was sealed before most viewers even knew they wanted to watch it. By the time the film found its audience on home video and digital rental, Netflix had already moved on to original programming — and MGM Plus had locked up the streaming rights that might otherwise have landed it on Netflix. For viewers, the lesson is practical: check JustWatch before assuming a platform has what you want. The aggregator’s real-time data is more reliable than hoping a specific title appears where you expect it.
