KATSEYE: Wild Hearts starts streaming on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States on October 16, 2026, and on Disney+ in other countries the same day. The documentary is included with any Disney+ or Hulu plan, so there is no separate rental or purchase fee once you are subscribed.
If you have been waiting to see the film that followed one of pop’s fastest-rising groups from a reality-competition boot camp to a Grammy nomination, here is exactly where, when, and how to watch it, plus what the movie actually covers.
Where and when to stream it
KATSEYE: Wild Hearts lands on Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S. on October 16, 2026. Viewers outside the United States get it on Disney+ on the same date. Disney+ originals typically unlock at 12:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 a.m. ET on their release day, so U.S. subscribers should expect it in the catalog first thing on the 16th, though Disney has not published an exact minute for this title.
You do not need any add-on to watch it. The documentary is bundled into a standard Disney+ subscription and is also available through Hulu, which shares Disney’s login and can be accessed through the Hulu on Disney+ hub or the standalone Hulu app. If you already pay for either service, the film costs nothing extra.
What it costs
There is no premium fee. KATSEYE: Wild Hearts is a standard title, not a Premier Access release, which means it is covered by any active Disney+ plan (ad-supported or ad-free) or any Hulu plan. Subscribers to the Disney bundle that combines Disney+ and Hulu can watch it from either service. Anyone without a subscription will need to sign up for one of the two platforms to stream it.
What the documentary covers
Directed by Nadia Hallgren, KATSEYE: Wild Hearts traces the group from the pressure cooker of the “Dream Academy” competition that assembled them in 2023 through the viral singles and sold-out moments that turned them into a global act. The film leans on never-before-seen footage, fan-shot videos, and one-on-one interviews with all six members, and it pointedly frames the fans, nicknamed EYEKONS, as part of the story rather than a backdrop.
It is not a sanitized highlight reel. The documentary sits with the setbacks as much as the wins, including the group’s 2026 Grammy nomination and the February 2026 hiatus taken by member Manon Bannerman. Produced by Interscope Films and Boardwalk Pictures in partnership with HYBE x Geffen, the film reached theaters on August 12, 2026, and pulled in more than $6 million worldwide in its opening weekend before this streaming release.
Here is the official trailer:
Who is in KATSEYE
KATSEYE is a six-member group formed through the reality series The Debut: Dream Academy, a joint venture between the Korean company HYBE and the American label Geffen Records. The lineup is Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Manon Bannerman, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeung, a deliberately international roster that has become central to the group’s appeal in the U.S. and abroad.
If the documentary is your entry point, the single “Gnarly” is a good place to hear what the noise is about:
Should you watch the trailer or the whole film first?
The trailer sells the emotional arc, but the feature is where the substance lives, particularly for viewers who know the songs but not the people behind them. If you came in through TikTok clips or a Grammy telecast and want the context, the full documentary on October 16th is the payoff.
