'A Complete Unknown' streaming release date: Here's when it's coming to Hulu

A Complete Unknown.

We officially know when you'll be able to watch "A Complete Unknown" on one of the best streaming services from the comfort of your couch.

For those who have missed it, this Bob Dylan biopic has made quite an impact since its theatrical release. Timothée Chalamet's portrayal of the legendary musician earned an Oscar nomination, as did costars Edward Norton and Monica Barbaro for their portrayals of Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, respectively.

In fact, the film did quite well on the nominations front. Despite coming up empty-handed on the big night, it earned eight Oscar nominations, which is no small feat.

So if you haven't had the chance to see it in theaters, you might want to know when you can stream it at home. Lucky for you we've got you covered. Here's when you can now stream "A Complete Unknown" at home on Hulu and premium video-on-demand.

When is 'A Complete Unknown' coming to streaming?

"A Complete Unknown" is currently available for premium video-on-demand rentals and purchases on digital platforms like Prime Video and Apple. You'll be able to buy it on 4K UHD or HD Blu-ray starting April 1.

But if you prefer to use streaming video-on-demand services, there's good news. "A Complete Unknown" will be released on Hulu on March 27.

What is 'A Complete Unknown' about?

This biopic follows Bob Dylan (Chalamet)'s meteoric rise to fame after being picked from obscurity. He shows up in New York with nothing but dreams and a guitar in 1961, hoping to meet his hero Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy). Instead, he finds himself caught between two worlds: his new romance with the sharp-witted Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning), and the folk music scene that's about to make him famous.

By 1965, he's tired of being the poster boy for protest songs and folk music. While the scene that made him famous wants him to stay in his lane, Dylan's got other plans like plugging in an electric guitar and rocking out. It all comes to a head at the Newport Folk Festival, where he decides to do just that.

The cast is filled with familiar faces playing iconic greats like Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez. And though the film is based on 2015's biography "Dylan Goes Electric!" by Elijah Wald, it's more than just an adaptation and encompasses plenty of Dylan's life to make it worth watching even for fans who think they know it all.
