Top Gun: Maverick is going to be removed from Channel 4's streaming service this weekend, so you need to be quick to catch up on one of the most successful legacy sequels ever.
The sequel has had streaming runs since its cinema release on the likes of Paramount+ and Netflix (where it can still be watched in the UK and Ireland), before it finally made its terrestrial debut last month on Channel 4.
If you haven't seen it yet, or just feel the need for speed a rewatch, Top Gun: Maverick is now available to watch for free on Channel 4's streaming service.
What to Read Next
However, as mentioned above, Top Gun: Maverick will be removed from the service very soon – Monday, April 23 to be exact, so you only have one day left to watch the sequel.
Top Gun: Maverick sees Tom Cruise reprise his classic role as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell as he heads back to Top Gun to train up a new batch of recruits, including Goose's son Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw (Miles Teller).
The mission? To destroy an unsanctioned nuclear plant before it becomes operational, and since it's Top Gun, it's a mission that could prove deadly to whoever takes part in it.
Top Gun: Maverick also brings back Val Kilmer as Maverick's nemesis-turned-friend Tom 'Iceman' Kazansky, while other newcomers include Jennifer Connelly as Maverick's ex Penny, Glen Powell as Jake 'Hangman' Seresin and Jon Hamm as Beau 'Cyclone' Simpson.
The sequel proved such a hit that Paramount was confirmed to be developing a third movie earlier this year, with Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger working on a draft of the script.
Powell appeared to already confirm his return shortly after the news: "There is stuff happening, and it sounds very exciting. I don't know when I'll be going back… I'm sure there is a jet waiting for me sometime in the future."
Top Gun: Maverick is available to watch on Channel 4's streaming service until April 23.
