Grammy-Nominee Noah Kahan Documentary on Netflix: Release Date, Story and What To Expect

Published 02/02/2026, 9:15 AM PST

Sombre landscapes do not just exist in physical places, they live inside the chords and lyrics of artists who make sense of solitude and introspection. Noah Kahan’s music has long felt like that. For many listeners, his breakout from 'Stick Season’ in 2022, was not just a commercial surprise but a genuine cultural moment. It only makes sense that this journey, from Vermont’s quiet expanses to global audiences, is now being captured in a Netflix documentary.

Yes. Netflix is rolling out a Noah Kahan documentary, but when exactly is it coming?

Fans will not have to wait too long to dive into this intimate portrait. According to a Hollywood Reporter exclusive report, Netflix is preparing to release the documentary later in 2026, bringing a global audience into the year that changed Noah Kahan’s life and career. While an official title and precise release day have not been announced yet, this year marks the documentary’s worldwide Netflix debut.

As per the report, the documentary also arrives in the context of Kahan’s next chapter: his fourth studio album, The Great Divide, which is set to arrive in April 2026. The first song with the same title has released in the Mastercard commerical time on Sunday's Grammy 2026. Noah Kahan himself has bagged two Grammy nominations, the latest being in 2025.

The year Noah Kahan stood at a crossroads

Set in the uneasy aftermath of 'Stick Season's runaway impact, the film finds Noah Kahan standing in the space between who he was and who the world suddenly decided he is. It captures a year where momentum never stops. It captures the artist at a crossroads - navigating sold-out tours, chart success, and the emotional pressures that arise when inner worlds meet external acclaim.

What happens when the music that helped you survive becomes the thing everyone wants from you?

Rather than framing this chapter as a victory lap, the film follows Kahan on an emotional return home, both literally and creatively. Back in Vermont, surrounded by family and familiar landscapes, he begins shaping the music that will follow 'Stick Season,' searching for grounding while the pressure to ‘top’ his success looms large. Through quiet mornings and late-night sessions, the film reveals the tension between the wilderness of his creative impulses and the demands of a life now lived partly in public view. 

So, what can audiences expect once they press play? Plenty.

What to expect from the Netflix Documentary

Viewers should prepare for more than performances and highlight reels. Director Nick Sweeney, whose approach emphasizes honesty over spectacle, has crafted a portrait of an artist wrestling with success and selfhood. As Sweeney told The Hollywood Reporter, the intent was not to stage moments but to observe them.

“When we started filming, I had no idea what we’d capture, only that Noah was determined to be honest about everything, especially the messy bits,” Sweeney says.

In a year defined by change, the film invites fans to witness the evolving heart behind the songs. This documentary promises a reflective journey through creativity, home, and identity.
