The Kollective is a 2025 six-episode thriller-drama about young journalists whose investigation into a colleague’s death widens into a story of political deception and corruption. Its plot reaches from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Russia; it is a fictional series, not a factual account of the events it depicts.
What is The Kollective about?
The series follows a group of young journalists working on an investigative project. When their colleague Joshua dies, the team pursues answers, and the inquiry grows to involve political and criminal activity. Official episode descriptions place parts of the story in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kinshasa and Russia.

ZDF’s German-language synopsis describes a research team uncovering a global conspiracy involving rare earths, with a mysterious plane crash leading from Kinshasa across the world. That is a broadcaster’s description of the fictional plot, not independent reporting or evidence that the events are real. Disney+ characterizes the show as “an electrifying tale of relentless journalism and the human cost of exposing the truth in a world ruled by lies”; this is platform promotional copy, not a statement attributed to a named creator or cast member.

Where can you watch The Kollective?
Disney+ lists the series in its US catalog, and Apple TV has a program page with episode details. A listing does not establish that the show is currently available to stream in every country or included with every subscription. Check the service’s catalog for your region before subscribing.
Age classifications also vary by market: the US Disney+ listing shows TV-MA, while the German Disney+ page shows 12. Use the rating displayed in your local catalog rather than assuming one country’s classification applies elsewhere.
ZDF’s German-language series page provides a further broadcaster synopsis; it is not a streaming-availability guarantee for other markets.
