Why isn’t Beyonce Renaissance on Netflix? How to stream the concert movie
Look around, everybody on mute – or at least AMC Theatres have been since Beyonce Renaissance had a theatrical release. But is it actually on Netflix now?
Let’s give them their dues,Netflixis the best in the game when it comes to hot releases. It’s been behind smash hit original content like Baby Reindeer, but it’s also arguably got the best back catalog of the lot.
For Beyonce fans, there’s been a gap in the content. After its cinematic release last year, there’s been no word on when theRenaissance moviewill come to the platform… until now.
But is it actually true? Excited social media posts aren’t what they seem, so we’ve broken down whether you can really stream Beyonce’s latest concert movie.
Is the Beyonce Renaissance movie streaming on Netflix?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, butRenaissance isn’t on Netflix. In fact,it doesn’t have a confirmed streaming date at all.
It’s easy to see why you might have been confused, though. Rumors have been rife on X/Twitter, with multiple sources claiming the movie would drop on the streamer November 13 at 3pm.
However, it only takes a quick search to see that’s not the case. As you may see from the above tweet, the mock-up image isn’t a real screen grab from the home page. The font is off, the details aren’t quite right, and it’s also been ripped from TikTok.
If you check Max, Prime Video, Hulu, or Peacock, the answer will be the same. Crazy in Love, we are not.
It was originally thought thedocumentarywould land on astreaming serviceto mark the one-year anniversary of the theatrical release, which would have been July 29. Of course, that never happened.

There’s still no word on when we might actually see the film grace the small screen in an official capacity, but some fans have taken it upon themselves to stream bits of it online. Don’t ask us, but it’s easy to Google.
Will it get a digital release?
Nothing is confirmed, but it’s hoped Renaissance will be on a streaming service sooner rather than later. When that happens, Netflixisthe most likely host.
This is because the film is distributed directly by AMC and not something like Warner Bros. Discovery, which would have swayed towards a platform like Max.
It goes without saying that Netflix is the biggest name in the streamable market, and most distributors would be fighting for their movie to get a slice of the popular pie.
However, this doesn’t exactly align with Beyonce’s music release strategy. As fans will know, she’s favored private song streamer Tidal for a number of years, prioritizing releases for them rather than bigger names like Spotify and Apple Music.
Chances are, we could see her adopt the same thinking for her film. An exclusive, higher-end host could be seen as a choice that resonates more with her artistic values – but at this stage, it’s anybody’s guess.
What Beyonce films can you watch on Netflix?
Beyonce’s first documentary,Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, is currently on the streamer. She’s also featured inQuincy, which you can catch on Netflix too.
As for the rest of her filmography, here’s a brief rundown:
Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé follows her performance at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, aka “Beychella.”
