The first lady’s $75 million vanity project has not yet been released to the public, but a spinoff is coming soon.
Melania Trump, 55, announced on the black carpet premiere of her eponymous documentary that the docuseries on her life is set to come out in a “few months.”
“We are coming out with a docuseries,” she said at the Kennedy Center premiere of Melania. “We are still producing it, and that will be completely new footage.”
“We have some scenes that are not in the movie,” she added. “We will have in a few months a docuseries, so people will see much more documentary.”

The docuseries is set to be split up into three parts, an Amazon MGM Studios spokesperson told CNN.
The first lady strolled onto the black carpet in an understated all-black outfit, paired with Louboutin heels, next to President Donald Trump, whose bruised hand was coated in its usual helping of makeup.
The guest list is a who’s who of MAGAworld personalities and Z-list celebrities, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, House Speaker Mike Johnson, former New York City mayor Eric Adams, Dr. Phil, and the reality stars Todd, Julie, Savannah, and Chase Chrisley.

Noticeably missing are her own family. Her son Barron, 19, and stepson Eric, 42, and his wife, Lara, 43, are no-shows, according to the New York Post. However, Donald Jr., 48, and his fiancée, Bettina Anderson, 39, were expected to walk the black carpet.
The Jeff Bezos-bankrolled documentary follows Melania in the 20 days leading up to her husband’s second inauguration.
“I wanna show the audience my life, what it takes to be a first lady again and transition from private citizen back to the White House. What task I need to tackle, and they will see all—from my business, philanthropy, taking care of the family, as well as establishing the East Wing,” she said, referring to the 123-year-old structure that her husband demolished.
“Can you describe making the film in three words?” a reporter asked.
“I think the people will judge it for themselves,” the first lady responded. “It’s beautiful, it’s emotional, it’s fashionable, it’s cinematic, and I’m very proud of it.”
She also teased that the 1-hour, 48-minute documentary will include “some emotional scenes.”
Melania is coming out in theaters on Friday, though social media users have been reveling in posting near-empty screenings near them. It’s expected to gross $5 million across some 1,500 theaters in the U.S. and Canada this weekend, according to a National Research Group forecast obtained by Puck.
