Fall is fast approaching, and Netflix has a lot of upcoming documentaries on the way to round out the year. We’ve just learned that the critically acclaimed Sundance hit Folktales is officially making its major SVOD debut on Netflix US on September 4th, 2026. If you’ve been tracking this one since its premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, you might be thinking, “Wait, hasn’t this been out already?” Folktales transports viewers to the Pasvik Folk High School in the Finnmark region of Arctic Norway—located over 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Will you be checking out Folktales when it drops on Netflix US this September?
