Is There a Ye Documentary Streaming on Netflix in 2025? When Will ‘In Whose Name’ Hit Small Screens?

When a new documentary drops, every notification and every scroll hits like a mini trailer, teasing chaos before anyone even hits play. Ye, who was formerly known as Kanye West, has mastered this magnetic chaos. Fans speculate endlessly, eager for the next in-depth look into his unpredictable life, while hot takes abound and social media feeds light up. Now, the question remains, like a post about to go viral: when, if at all, will the next chapter be released?

While followers obsess over leaks and rumors, the real drama brews in the shadows. Will Ye’s next cinematic reveal disrupt theaters or has already slipped silently into streaming playlists?

Netflix still holds on to Ye while fans wait for his next story

There are no brand-new Ye documentaries on Netflix in 2025. However, Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, which debuted in 2022, is still the only Netflix project that features him. The most recent documentary, In Whose Name?, is not yet available on Netflix or any other streaming service, despite fans’ eager anticipation for yet another in-depth look at his life. While Netflix remains eerily silent, viewers are clutching their remote controls and scrolling endlessly.

In Whose Name?, which offers an unfiltered, six-year look at Ye’s life from 2018 to 2024, debuted in North American theaters on September 19, 2025. Viewers who want to see the video of his personal struggles, public scandals, and behind-the-scenes encounters with Kim Kardashian and others will have to go to the theater because the streaming release date has not yet been set. Whether or not this cinematic extravaganza will ever be screened on small screens has not been addressed by Netflix or other online services.

While theater lines stretch like a final season cliffhanger, the internet braces for backlash, proving that Ye’s drama travels faster than any streaming algorithm ever could.

Critics dismiss Ye as a cultural icon despite star-studded documentary

Since its premiere in theaters, In Whose Name? has received a lot of negative feedback from internet users. A lot of people disapproved of Ye as a cultural figure and said the documentary was over-hyped and not worth seeing. Critics felt that the film’s premise was misguided due to his controversial past, which included antisemitic remarks. Even though Drake, Pharrell Williams, Elon Musk, and Kim Kardashian made appearances in the documentary, the online response to it has been overwhelmingly negative, making it irrelevant.

Some viewers, however, expressed interest in a potential streaming release, speculating that the film might still be enjoyed if it were made accessible at home. Since In Whose Name? is currently only accessible in theaters, it is uncertain how streaming and a wider audience will be impacted. The documentary’s premiere shows that not even fame can totally protect one from criticism, as even celebrities like Ye can encounter severe criticism when their objectives are examined by the public.
