Prime Video Plans Two-Part Melania Documentary Series
Amazon is preparing to release another documentary about Melania Trump less than a year after its Melania documentary premiered. The new two-part series, titled Melania: The Series, is scheduled to arrive on Prime Video in November.
The upcoming production became the subject of a segment by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who focused on Melania’s position as First Lady and Amazon’s connection to the earlier documentary. “Melania is about to become the first First Lady with her own TV show while in office. Amazon, which as you know produced Melania’s $75 million bribe-umentary, is using the leftovers from that to make a new two-part docu-series called Melania: The Series,” explains Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above.
Kimmel also used the segment to question the premise of the new project through satire. “Wouldn’t it be great if she spent a month living with Nathan Fielder?” he said, referencing the comedian and television personality.
Jimmy Kimmel Unveils Parody Trailer
Following his commentary, Jimmy Kimmel presented a parody trailer for Melania: The Series. The spoof highlighted the perceived motivations behind the documentary and continued the late-night host’s satirical treatment of the project.
The Kimmel segment is not the first parody connected to the planned Prime Video series. The Daily Show released its own parody of the upcoming documentary in September, adding to the television and comedy coverage surrounding Amazon’s latest Melania-focused production.
Why This Matters
Melania: The Series marks another major streaming project centered on Melania Trump and is notable because it is expected to arrive while she is serving as First Lady. Its November release will also place the two-part Prime Video series less than a year after Amazon’s earlier Melania documentary, giving the subject continued visibility across both documentary programming and late-night satire.
