Is ‘One Direction: This Is Us’ on Netflix? Where to Watch the Documentary Online

Somehow, someway, it’s been ten whole years since Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson came together for the first time on The X Factor. They called themselves One Direction. It’s been a decade of screaming fans, best-selling albums, pop hits, fanfiction, break-ups, and solo tours. But One Direction fans haven’t forgotten from whence they came, and there’s no better way to honor the heyday of this boyband than by watching their 2013 documentary, One Direction: This Is Us. Directed by Morgan Spurlock, the film follows the band on their “Take Me Home Tour” and gives you some background on how they formed and what makes them tick. It’s a must-watch for fans.

The boys also had a special treat for fans—a 10-year anniversary website with a new video to mark the occasion, which promptly crashed this morning due to an overload of demand. Oops. In the meantime, you can read Decider’s Lea Palmieri’s beautiful tribute to the band. After that, you can queue up the One Direction documentary and spend some time with old friends. Here’s how to watch One Direction: This Is Us online.

IS ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US ON NETFLIX?

I’m so sorry to tell you this but: No. One Direction: This Is Us is not on Netflix. But what is on Netflix is After, the teen romance film that was adapted from a One Direction fan fiction. That’s kinda close, right? (No. It’s not. I’m sorry.)

IS ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US ON HULU?

No. However, you can watch the NBC drama This Is Us on Hulu. I know it’s not the same, but it is a good show.

IS ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US ON AMAZON PRIME?

Yes! You will have to pay for it, but the One Direction documentary is streaming on Amazon Prime. It costs $3.99 to rent, or $12.99 to buy. You’re willing to shell out four bucks for the boys, right? That’s less than one dollar per boy!

HOW TO WATCH ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US ONLINE:

If you don’t want to rent One Direction: This Is Us on Amazon, first of all, fair. Amazon is evil. Second of all, you can also rent or buy the One Direction documentary on iTunes, YouTube, Vudu, Google Play, or wherever you prefer to buy digital content. I know, paying for stuff is a bummer, especially in the middle of a pandemic. But hopefully, it will be worth it to spend some time with the lads on their tenth anniversary.
