A Complete Unknown Streaming Release Date Announced For Hulu

A Complete Unknown is set to arrive on streaming platforms soon. This Oscar-nominated biopic about Bob Dylan will be available on Hulu beginning March 27.

Timothée Chalamet takes on the role of Bob Dylan, portraying the young singer-songwriter who makes his way to New York City in 1961. As he immerses himself in the vibrant music scene of Greenwich Village, Dylan swiftly ascends to fame within the folk music genre. With his newfound popularity, he begins to resist the societal expectations pushing him to conform. This journey leads to his iconic performance using electric instruments at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a moment that would alter the music landscape forever.

A Complete Unknown features a talented cast, including Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.

Directed by James Mangold, A Complete Unknown is based on a screenplay crafted by Mangold and Jay Cocks, drawing inspiration from Elijah Wald’s 2015 book, Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night That Split the Sixties.

Having debuted on Christmas Day 2024, A Complete Unknown exceeded box office expectations, raking in $23.2 million during the five-day holiday weekend. With worldwide earnings totaling $132 million against an estimated budget of $50 million to $70 million, the film has proven to be a commercial success.

The reviews for A Complete Unknown have been largely favorable, with critics highlighting the standout performances and the musical sequences. In a 3.5-star review for Digital Trends, Alex Welch remarked that “Director James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown is an engaging, if somewhat surface-level, portrayal of Bob Dylan’s story.”

The film is a strong contender in this year’s Oscars, having received eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Chalamet, Best Supporting Actor for Norton, Best Supporting Actress for Barbaro, and Best Director. Chalamet has also garnered a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.
