First Lady Melania Trump is preparing to pull back the curtain again — this time through a more personal, conversational docuseries that could arrive as soon as November.
During a Wednesday appearance on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends,” Trump said the forthcoming two-part series will be “very different” from Melania, the feature-length documentary released earlier this year.
“It’s more conversation, one-on-one with me,” Trump said in the Fox News interview.
She explained that director Brett Ratner asked her questions while cameras followed her during her travels, including some that ventured beyond the public side of her life.
“There are some private questions that I will answer that people never heard before,” the first lady said.
An exact premiere date has not been announced, but Trump said the series is expected to be released this year, likely in November. She also confirmed that the project will consist of two installments.
A Different Look Behind The Scenes
The series follows the theatrical and streaming release of Melania, which documented the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
That film focused on the transition back to the White House, capturing Melania Trump as she organized inaugural events, prepared her family’s return to Washington and resumed one of the world’s most closely watched public roles.
The first lady served as an executive producer, while Ratner directed and produced the project alongside Fernando Sulichin and Marc Beckman.
Amazon said the film earned more than $16.6 million worldwide during its theatrical run before arriving on Prime Video. The company described it as the largest documentary opening in a decade when music and concert films are excluded.
Amazon MGM Studios had already pointed to interest in a follow-up series, and Ratner teased the project over the summer. In an August Instagram post, he referred to the series as “the next two chapters of Melania.”
Trump’s latest remarks offer the clearest indication yet of how those chapters will differ from the movie. Instead of concentrating primarily on a fixed 20-day period, the series is expected to lean into interviews and direct answers from the first lady.
“It’s kind of exciting,” she said.
Melania Offers A Candid Take On The President
The first lady also offered a glimpse of that direct style when asked about President Trump’s address to the United Nations General Assembly.
She said she told her husband that he delivered a strong speech but made clear that her feedback is not always limited to praise.
“I tell him the truth,” she said. “Sometimes he doesn’t want to hear it, what I tell him, but that’s OK.”
The comments came during a prominent week for the first lady in New York. She gathered international leaders to expand her Fostering the Future Together initiative, which is focused on helping children through technology and education.
According to the White House, the coalition has grown to 57 participating countries and added new partnerships with major technology companies. Trump also promoted Imperia, a new effort centered on women’s leadership and economic power.
Those public initiatives may supply part of the backdrop for the docuseries. But Trump’s promise to answer private questions suggests viewers will see material that goes beyond official events and carefully staged appearances.
For a first lady who has generally kept tight control over her public profile, the new format could offer her most expansive opportunity yet to tell her story in her own words.
The two-part docuseries is expected to premiere on Prime Video, although Amazon has not announced a final release date.
