Netflix will premiere an untitled documentary chronicling a pivotal year in Noah Kahan’s life and career in 2026, offering an inside look at the singer-songwriter as he navigates the aftermath of ‘Stick Season’ and the pressures of global stardom. Directed by Nick Sweeney, the film follows Kahan through a period of sold-out tours, unprecedented acclaim and deep personal reflection. What emerges is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads, balancing creative momentum with the emotional weight that comes with sudden, life-altering success.
Born from the quiet landscapes of rural Vermont, ‘Stick Season’ became a defining cultural moment, propelling Kahan from indie favorite to international star. The documentary captures the year that followed as he begins work on his next album while repeatedly returning home to Vermont, reconnecting with family and searching for grounding amid nonstop touring and attention. Kahan leans on his trademark wit and self-awareness as he confronts personal struggles that have left him feeling out of sync with himself, all while trying to define what comes next creatively and personally.
“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,” director Nick Sweeney said. “He was in a strange in-between moment, caught in the collision between almost surreal fame and a quieter inner world he’d tried to keep offstage. What we captured over the course of a year surprised me, moments that were thrilling, terrifying, hilarious, often all at once.” The film is produced by Samantha Mustari, Dave Sirulnick, Stacey Reiss, Ryan Kroft, Vaughn Trudeau, Anna Keegan, David Blackman, Jeff Ludwig and Devon Libran, with production companies including RadicalMedia, Live Nation Studios, Polygram Entertainment and Federal Films.
