SB19, the trailblazing Filipino boy group often dubbed the “Kings of P-pop,” is set to inspire fans once again as “PAGTATAG! The Documentary” begins streaming on Netflix. The highly anticipated behind-the-scenes film captures the intense journey, challenges, and breakthroughs of SB19 during their Pagtatag! era.
On June 26, 2025, Netflix Philippines officially confirmed the streaming release, after the documentary appeared in the platform’s “Coming Soon” section. Directed by Jed Regala, the film was originally released in theaters in August 2024, and had successful international screenings in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UAE, and the UK.
A Glimpse Into the Hustle and Hype of the Pagtatag! Era
The documentary offers a powerful narrative that chronicles SB19’s transition into full creative independence. From navigating mental health struggles to launching their own label, 1Z Entertainment, the group’s story is one of resilience, growth, and artistic evolution.
During this era, SB19:
- Embarked on their first-ever world tour
- Officially departed from their former agency ShowBT
- Released the Pagtatag! EP, the second in their trilogy series
- Advocated for empowerment and mental health awareness through their music
Pagtatag! is the sequel to Pagsibol (2021) and the prelude to Simula at Wakas (2025), marking the emotional middle chapter of SB19’s conceptual trilogy.
Festival Recognition and Global Reach
Earlier this year, Pagtatag! The Documentary was officially selected for screening at the Osaka Asian Film Festival in Japan—further validating the group’s expanding presence in the Asian pop scene. Its inclusion alongside major Filipino films reflects the growing international interest in P-pop and SB19's cultural impact.
Why Fans and First-Time Viewers Should Watch
For long-time A’TINs, the documentary is a nostalgic deep dive into the moments that defined SB19’s recent transformation. For new viewers, it offers an emotional, unfiltered look into the highs and lows of one of Southeast Asia’s most influential musical acts.
From backstage tears to triumphant stage moments, Pagtatag! The Documentary is more than a fan feature—it’s a testament to the dreams and determination of Filipino artists on the global stage.
