Amazon Is Reportedly Doubling Down on Melania Trump With a New Docuseries

First Lady Melania Trump will be the subject of a new Amazon Prime docuseries, senior adviser Marc Beckman announced Tuesday, following Amazon MGM Studios’ documentary film Melania, released earlier this year.

Speaking on-air with Real America’s Voice host Eric Bolling about the upcoming project, Beckman said, “This fall, we are following the film with a docuseries surrounding the first lady, surrounding Melania Trump. It’s a completely different look at her world” than Melania. The Brett Ratner-directed film was released on Jan. 30 and ultimately earned $16.6 million worldwide. Wildly, it cost $75 million to make.

Beckman continued, “It gives the viewers a little bit of a peek as to what happens right at the beginning of the new 47th presidential administration” of President Donald Trump.

“You might remember, if you saw the film [Melania], we only captured 20 days of the first lady’s life. We open the window, a little bit, into her private life, her marriage, her family. We open a little deeper into her career, as well as her philanthropy, but with the docuseries, it’s a little bit different. It’s shot different. It’s a different story. It’s a full new experience for the viewers,” he explained.

Calling her “the most consequential first lady in history,” Beckman vowed that the docuseries will show the first lady’s “work ethic, that high level, that standard of being impactful.”

The show will premiere “exclusively” on Amazon Prime “this fall,” Beckman said, adding, “I hope everybody tunes in because it’s gonna show a part of the first lady that hasn’t been seen yet.”

In May, during an interview with CNBC, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos defended Melania’s $75 million price tag, calling the documentary a “good business decision,” but denying he had anything to do with it or that it was made to buy favor with Trump.
