“Stick Season” superstar Noah Kahan has just announced a streaming date for his Netflix documentary: “Noah Kahan: Out of Body.”

Premiering at SXSW this week, the singer spoke about the feature-length film in a new Instagram Reel this morning, announcing it would be available to stream on Netflix starting April 13, 2026 — just over a week before his next album “Great Divide” is released.

“I’m really excited about it,” he said. “It kind of captured, like, a year and a half of my life being on the tour for ‘Stick Season’ and just how ‘Stick Season’ affected my life, my family’s life.”

“But it also gets into some really, like, personal stuff,” he added.

He then went on to say that he wanted to tell his fans what would be in the documentary, as they begin hearing more about it in the media.

“I wanted to make sure you guys knew, coming from me, about some of the stuff that’s in the documentary, so you understand the context,” he said.

He noted that his music is already full of themes about his family, his self-image, body dysmorphia, and mental health struggles.

“But it’s definitely very much, like, front and center during this documentary,” he said.

He said there will be a lot of material about his family — his dad specifically — and noted that his wife, “the lovely Brenna,” will also be included.

“But it really does touch a lot on me and a lot of personal things I’ve gone through,” he said. “It’ll be the first time I’ve really talked about it in a way that wasn’t through music, so I’m obviously a little nervous about … bearing my soul in that way.”

Kahan went on to say that the film is “very vulnerable,” and hard for him to watch, though “really important to share.”

The “Porch Light” singer has been very open about his mental health struggles in the past and has made it a cornerstone of his music career. He launched The Busyhead Project to raise funds and awareness for rural mental health care, raising millions for the initiative during his last tour.

To end his video, Kahan told fans he loved them and said “I appreciate you giving me the space to talk about these things.”
