When does KATSEYE: Wild Hearts come out on Disney+ and Hulu?
Disney lists October 16, 2026 as the streaming date, on Disney+ worldwide and on Hulu in the U.S. The film already played in select theaters starting August 12, after a red-carpet premiere at The Grove in Los Angeles on August 4, so Friday is the first time most fans can watch it at home.
Disney hasn’t posted an exact unlock time. New Disney+ and Hulu titles often go live around 12 a.m. Pacific (3 a.m. Eastern). Add it to your watchlist now and it will appear on your home screen as soon as it’s available.
What is KATSEYE: Wild Hearts about?
KATSEYE formed through The Debut: Dream Academy, the competition series that picked the final lineup, and Netflix’s Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE showed that training process. Wild Hearts picks up after the debut, as the members settle into life as a working pop act and move into their WILD era, with rehearsal and studio footage showing how their music and choreography come together.
The film also leans on the fans. Disney says it weaves in EYEKONS fan videos alongside never-before-seen footage and intimate interviews, tracing the highs, setbacks and sacrifices behind the group’s chart-topping, viral rise. The WILD EP arrives in the same creative chapter and works as a companion release rather than an official soundtrack.
