All three years have its name on them, which is why the search results are confusing. The short answer: Kangaroo Island is officially a 2024 film, because that is when it premiered. But it reached most audiences later, in Australian cinemas in 2025 and on streaming and US screens in 2026. Here is the timeline.
It depends on what you count as “out,” because an independent film rolls out in stages rather than all at once.
So the film that shows up as “2024,” “2025,” and “2026” in different places is the same film. Its official year is 2024; its cinema year in Australia was 2025; and its streaming-and-US year was 2026.
Because streaming apps and search engines index the film under whichever date they hold, you may see it listed under any of the three. If a search for one year does not surface it, try another, or just search the title plus the director, Timothy David, or the lead, Rebecca Breeds. For where it is actually available now, where to watch Kangaroo Island has the current breakdown, and is Kangaroo Island on Netflix answers the most common streaming question.
One film, three years on the marquee, and worth catching in whichever one you find it.
