Amanda Seyfried’s ‘Chloe’ Set for Free Tubi Debut in 2026
A notorious erotic thriller starring Amanda Seyfried, Liam Neeson, and Julianne Moore is about to land on Tubi for free. Find out why this once-overlooked film is suddenly back in the spotlight.
While Amanda Seyfried’s latest cinematic venture, The Housemaid, continues to draw crowds, another of her more provocative roles is about to resurface. Come 1 February 2026, the 2009 thriller Chloe will be available to stream for free on Tubi, offering viewers a chance to revisit a film that, at the time, barely made a ripple at the box office and was met with a rather frosty critical reception.
Back in 2009, Seyfried joined forces with Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson for a story steeped in suspicion and desire. The plot centres on Catherine and David Stewart, a seemingly affluent couple living in Toronto. Catherine, played by Moore, grows increasingly convinced that her husband, a music professor portrayed by Neeson, is straying. In a bid to uncover the truth, she enlists the services of Chloe, a young sex worker brought to life by Seyfried. What begins as a calculated test soon spirals into something far more unpredictable, as Chloe’s revelations about her encounters with David threaten to upend everything.
From Box Office Flop to Cult Curiosity
Upon its original release, Chloe struggled to find its audience. With a production budget hovering around $14 million, the film’s takings barely scraped past $13.6 million, leaving it languishing in the shadow of more successful psychological thrillers. Critics were not especially kind either, with the film earning a modest 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yet, as is often the case, time has a way of reshaping reputations. Films that once slipped under the radar are now being rediscovered by those who were too young to catch them the first time around.
There’s a certain guilty pleasure to be found in Chloe’s blend of art house sensibility and pulpy melodrama. The film borrows liberally from the likes of Fatal Attraction and other late-80s thrillers, but with a cast of this calibre, one might have expected a more straightforward crowd-pleaser. Instead, the film’s moody, erotically charged atmosphere left some viewers cold, though Seyfried’s performance was singled out for praise. Critics described her as “sensational” and noted her “spooky, authentic poise.” Neeson and Moore, meanwhile, were credited with “elevating the pulpy material put in front of them.” As Anna Smith put it,
“a guilty pleasure of the highest order.”
Renewed Interest in a Forgotten Thriller
The timing of Chloe’s streaming release is hardly accidental. Seyfried’s current success with The Housemaid has reignited interest in her earlier, more daring roles. For those waiting for The Housemaid to make its way to home viewing, Chloe offers a similarly dark and sensual experience—albeit with a distinctly 2000s flavour. The film’s arrival on a free platform like Tubi could well prompt a reappraisal, inviting a new generation to decide whether it was unfairly maligned or simply misunderstood.
As The Housemaid continues its run in cinemas and prepares for its own digital release, fans of Seyfried’s work have the perfect opportunity to explore the roots of her on-screen allure. Chloe may not have set the world alight on its first outing, but its return to the spotlight is sure to spark conversation—and perhaps a few raised eyebrows—once again.
