2026 is BTS’ year, and there is no denying that. The South Korean boy band is all set to release their comeback album Arirang this March, followed by a world tour. And much to the delight of ARMYs, Arirang will stream live exclusively on Netflix on March 21, 2026, at 8 PM Korean time.

This is not all. BTS: The Return, a BTS documentary film showcasing the making of their newest comeback album, will also arrive on Netflix on March 27, 2026.

This feature-length documentary chronicles the long-awaited return of pop royalty, BTS. From acclaimed director Bao Nguyen (The Stringer, The Greatest Night in Pop) and renowned producers, This Machine (Martha, Karol G) and HYBE, the film offers unprecedented access, following BTS as they come back together to begin a reunion set to be etched in pop culture history, while reflecting on the journey that transformed seven Korean members into global icons.

Since their debut in 2013, BTS built one of the most devoted fan communities in the world. After completing South Korea’s mandatory military service, the seven members reunite in Los Angeles to make music together, returning to a shared creative space shaped by time apart and personal change. As millions of fans await the comeback of the decade, BTS confronts quieter questions: how to begin again, how to honour the past without being bound by it, and how to move forward together. Through moments of doubt, laughter, and rediscovery, they create new music that reflects who they are now, culminating in what will become a landmark album of its time. Intimate, emotional, and often joyful, BTS: The Return is a story only BTS can tell: a portrait of resilience, brotherhood, and reinvention.
