Prepare yourself for the Melania Cinematic Universe
The First Lady's 2026 documentary is being expanded into a series, says director Brett Ratner.
In a move aimed at expanding the Melania documentary into a larger cinematic universe, plans have emerged to create a docuseries focusing on First Lady Melania Trump. The expansion was announced by the First Lady's senior advisor, Marc Beckman, who expressed excitement via Real America's Voice on August 3. His enthusiasm was echoed by Trump family friend and director Brett Ratner, who posted on his Instagram, "can’t wait to share with everyone around the world the next two chapters of MELANIA, THE DOCU SERIES!"
Beckman emphasized that future installments will provide a fresh perspective, revealing aspects of Melania that haven’t been previously explored. The announcement comes as no surprise to Amazon, which reportedly invested $75 million in the original documentary. This substantial investment included a significant financial package for the First Lady, as well as paving the way for potential future projects.
Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding her husband’s administration, Melania's documentary only earned $16.7 million at the box office when it premiered on Prime Video on March 9.
