Amazon Prime Video will release a two-part documentary series about former First Lady Melania Trump on November 20, marking the streaming platform’s continued investment in her story after a January theatrical release.
The series, titled Melania the Series, will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries. It consists of two episodes: "Family & Trust", which covers her preparations to assume the role of first lady, and "Pride & Honor", which follows the period immediately after the inauguration. According to promotional materials, the series will include "content never before shared with the public."
The first episode focuses on Trump’s return to the White House in 2025, while the second highlights themes of family, trust, pride, and honor. Promotional artwork shared by Trump on X (formerly Twitter) included the line: "Everybody wants to be close to power."
Amazon confirmed the release date and episode structure in a press release, stating the series is a follow-up to the January documentary that earned $16.6 million worldwide at the box office. The company did not disclose production costs or marketing expenditures for the new series.
The series’ November debut follows Amazon’s reported $40 million purchase of rights to the January documentary and a $35 million marketing spend, which Variety noted did not recoup costs through theatrical releases alone. The streaming release aims to capitalize on sustained audience interest generated by prior screenings.
Promotional materials for the series emphasize its exclusivity, with Amazon describing it as featuring "never-before-told" stories and "previously unseen material." The two-part format is designed to provide a chronological narrative, beginning with Trump’s preparations and concluding with her early tenure in the White House.
This is a developing story. Additional details, including episode runtime and additional promotional content, are expected to be announced closer to the release date.
