The iconic 1984 musical drama Footloose, led by Kevin Bacon, will soon be available for streaming on Paramount+ in the coming weeks. The film, which centers on a teenager’s clash with a small town’s strict ban on dancing and rock music, remains a cult classic from ’80s cinema. It will expectably receive renewed attention with its upcoming streaming debut.
Paramount+ has confirmed that it is adding the 1984 musical drama Footloose to its streaming library early next month.
According to ComicBook.com, the Kevin Bacon film is scheduled to begin streaming on the platform on January 1, 2026.
Directed by Herbert Ross and written by Dean Pitchford, Footloose centers on Ren McCormack, a teenager who moves from Chicago to the small town of Bomont. Upon arriving, he discovers that local authorities have banned dancing and rock music, a rule enforced by the town’s conservative leadership. The restrictions leave Ren and his peers frustrated, particularly as they attempt to navigate adolescence in a tightly controlled environment.
Ren’s efforts to adjust to life in Bomont soon draw him into a clash between the town’s younger residents and its leadership. Meanwhile, his relationship with Ariel Moore, the daughter of Reverend Shaw Moore, further adds to the tension. With help from friends, Ren begins to challenge the ban that controls the community.
Apart from Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack, the film features Lori Singer as Ariel Moore, with John Lithgow portraying Reverend Shaw Moore. The cast also includes Dianne Wiest, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Chris Penn.
While Footloose received mixed critical reviews, it currently holds a 55 percent Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 47 reviews. The film also holds a stronger 71 percent Popcornmeter score.
Upon its original release, Footloose proved to be a significant box office success. It earned over $80 million worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo. Over the decades, it has garnered a cult following, with a 1998 stage musical and a 2011 remake adding to its legacy.
