Tenzing OTT Release: Release Date, Streaming Platform, Cast and Plot Details

Tenzing OTT Release: Tom Hiddleston’s upcoming biographical drama Tenzing is set to arrive on OTT in October 2026. The Apple Original Film tells the remarkable story of Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay and his historic Mount Everest expedition with Edmund Hillary.

Directed by Jennifer Peedom, the film has already attracted attention following its festival premieres and is now heading towards its theatrical and streaming release.

Tenzing OTT Release Date

Tenzing will be available to stream globally on Apple TV from October 16, 2026.

Before its OTT debut, the film will get a limited theatrical release in select theatres on October 9, 2026. Apple has officially confirmed both release dates.

So, viewers waiting to watch the Tom Hiddleston-led Everest drama online will have to wait until October 16.

Where to Watch Tenzing Online?

Tenzing will stream exclusively on Apple TV from October 16. The film is an Apple Original Film, with Apple confirming a global streaming premiere on the platform.

For viewers in India, the film’s availability should therefore be through Apple TV, subject to the platform’s local availability and subscription requirements.

Tenzing Movie Plot

The movie draws from the real life of Tenzing Norgay. In 1953, he climbed Everest with Edmund Hillary from New Zealand. Together, they made it to the top.

This film does not only follow the climb itself. It looks at how Norgay pushed ahead in his own way. It also shows his wish to be seen for what he could do. His bond with Hillary is part of that too.

There is more than climbing here. The movie touches on strain in the group tied to a British-led trip. It also focuses on Tenzing’s ties to Chomolungma. That mountain is sacred to many people.
