Amazon to Release Two-Part Melania Trump Documentary Series on Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is releasing a two-part documentary series focused on First Lady Melania Trump, titled Melania: The Series, set to debut on November 20, 2026.

Series Details

The series follows the Melania documentary film that premiered earlier this year. According to a press release description cited by The Verge, "MELANIA, The Series reveals never-before-told stories, offering unprecedented insight into Melania Trump’s life, including the extraordinary days immediately following the 47th Presidential Inauguration."

The two episodes are:

• Family & Trust: Melania Trump sets priorities as she prepares to become America’s First Lady. But inside the White House, trust is tested, and the incoming First Lady must protect those closest to her while navigating the demands of power.
• Pride & Honor: The honor of serving as First Lady comes with an immediate call to action. Moments after the inauguration, First Lady Melania Trump sets her mission in motion for the American people.

Brett Ratner, who directed the Melania film, directed both episodes of the series.

Production and Context

The docuseries is a production of Amazon MGM Studios, Muse Films, New Element Media and RatPac Entertainment. Melania Trump and her senior adviser Marc Beckman serve as executive producers. Ratner and Fernando Sulichin are also producers.

The earlier Melania film was released in theaters in January. According to Variety, Amazon spent $75 million on rights and marketing for the film, which earned $16.6 million at the box office. Variety also reported that Amazon has reportedly discussed rebooting Trump’s old reality franchise The Apprentice with Donald Trump Jr. as its lead.

Why it matters

The series arrives after the 2026 midterm elections, which Variety described as a nationwide repudiation of President Donald Trump. The timing raises questions about Amazon’s continued investment in programming centered on the First Family as political dynamics shift.
