Netflix sent Beyoncé fans into a frenzy on Sunday (April 7) after the streaming giant tweeted out a promotional graphic for an upcoming project called Homecoming. Though there’s no other information available so far besides the title and a release date of April 17, the Beyhive immediately started to draw connections between the project and the Lemonade singer. Let’s break it down.

First, multiple fans quickly pointed out that the colors and the Greek font used in a teaser poster is similar to the ones used for the merch from Beyoncé’s iconic 2018 Coachella set.

There are also quite a few other clues to suggest fans are on the right track, including the timing of the release date. The alleged new doc premieres right after this year’s first Coachella weekend, which is scheduled April 12 to 14. Secondly, Us Weekly reported earlier this month that the singer is working on a new album and a Netflix special, with sources saying the project “will be tied to her Coachella 2018 performance”. Her two set dates last year were April 14 and 21; a release date of April 17 would fall pretty squarely between the one-year anniversaries of those two performances.

Her show-stopping Coachella set, quickly nicknamed “Beychella,” was widely interpreted as an homage to the HCBU experience, as well as to black fraternities and their traditions. It also featured a Destiny’s Child reunion and performances with her sister Solange Knowles and Bey’s husband Jay Z. Beyoncé also made history as the first black woman to headline the festival.

Meanwhile, HuffPost also pointed out that Beyoncé recently announced the Homecoming Scholars Award Program, which perfectly coincides with the documentary’s name.

At least one fan account is sure it has it nailed, theorizing that the special will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how her performances came together.

And Twitter being Twitter, it’s safe to say the Beyhive is collectively losing its mind over this rumored documentary drop:
