New Melania Trump docuseries set for release

After the critical and commercial flop of the Melania documentary earlier this year, it has been announced that US First Lady Melania Trump will be the subject of a new Amazon Prime docuseries, Euronews writes.

According to her senior adviser Marc Beckman, the documentary series is going “to show a part of the first lady that hasn’t been seen yet.”

The series will follow Melania Trump at the start of her husband’s second term.

The Amazon MGM Studios documentary Melania, which chronicled the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration, was a significant financial loss for Amazon. According to The New York Times, Amazon paid Melania Trump’s production company $40 million for the rights to Melania and spent $35 million for the marketing of the movie.

The film ended its theatrical run with $16.6 million worldwide versus an overall budget of $75 million. The film was widely panned and received scrutiny from US lawmakers, as many publicly questioned whether the documentary failed to comply with federal anti-bribery laws.
