Bob Dylan Biopic A Complete Unknown Hits Hulu on March 27
James Mangold's A Complete Unknown explores Bob Dylan's early music career and will stream on Hulu starting on March 27th. The biopic debuted in theaters on December 25th, 2024, and hit PVOD on February 25th, 2025, and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (Timothée Chalamet), and Best Director (Mangold).
Set in the early 1960s, A Complete Unknown follows Bob Dylan as he navigates the folk music scene of Greenwich Village, rubbing shoulders with musical legends like Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy), Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro), and Pete Seeger (Edward Norton). As Dylan's sound evolved, his controversial decision to go electric at the Newport Folk Festival sent shockwaves through the music world. Chalamet not only stars as Dylan but also performs the film's music.
The film has been widely praised, earning Certified Fresh and Certified Hot status on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have singled out Chalamet's performance as a standout, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it "electrifying and transformative." Alongside Chalamet, the cast features Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger.
A Complete Unknown will be available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers on March 27th. A 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release with Dolby Vision and Atmos audio will also arrive on April 1st. If you've seen the film and want to buy some merch for it, you can check out the official A Complete Unknown collection here.
I'm interested in revisiting the film and exploring the bonus features very soon. Stay tuned for that review!
For those who haven't caught it in theaters, this is your chance to see the story behind one of music's most defining moments. Will you be watching A Complete Unknown on Hulu?
