KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS DISNEY+ & HULU FROM OCTOBER 16TH

O documentário WILD HEARTS do KATSEYE chegará ao Disney+ no dia 16 de outubro
— Tracklist (@tracklist) September 23, 2026
The streaming date lands in the middle of a packed season for the group: the Wildworld Tour is underway, the third EP WILD debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and the four active members have already closed a sold-out European leg. For fans who missed the theatrical window, October 16 is the wide-access moment.
What WILD HEARTS Covers
The film traces KATSEYE from the intense selection process of Dream Academy — the 2023 competition series that formed the group — through viral breakthroughs, setbacks, and sacrifices. It includes behind-the-scenes material from key career points, including Grammy nominations and the February 2026 hiatus of Manon Bannerman. Fan-submitted EYEKONS videos are woven into the story, positioning the documentary as both a group profile and a love letter to the audience that grew alongside them.
Director Nadia Hallgren worked with Interscope Films and Boardwalk Pictures in partnership with HYBE x Geffen. The theatrical run began in August 2026 and reportedly took in more than $6 million worldwide in its opening period, with a U.S. debut around $4 million from hundreds of screens.
Why the Streaming Release Matters Now
Theatrical documentaries reach a dedicated core. Streaming on Disney+ and Hulu puts the same story in front of a much broader U.S. and international audience that may know the hits but not the origin path. The timing also aligns with the North American leg of the Wildworld Tour, which opens October 13 in Miami — three days before the documentary lands on the platforms. For casual viewers, the film can function as a primer. For EYEKONS, it is a permanent archive of a chapter that is still unfolding.
Manon’s Hiatus and the Full Six on Screen
The documentary features Manon Bannerman, who has been on hiatus since February to focus on health and well-being. Sophia Laforteza later stepped back in August. The film’s production window means it captures a version of the group story that includes both members in ways the current live tour does not. That gap between the documentary’s timeline and the present-day four-member stage reality is part of what makes the October 16 release feel timely rather than closed.
