Melania Trump’s documentary may still be playing in theaters, but its director has already confirmed that the project isn’t finished yet. You can read more about her revealing fears after Donald Trump’s second term in our detailed post.

Brett Ratner, who directed the film, recently revealed that a new three-part documentary series centered on Melania Trump is on the way. The series is expected to arrive after the movie completes its theatrical run and moves to streaming.

The film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios with a reported $40 million budget, premiered in cinemas last Friday. Since then, it has sparked intense debate online. On Rotten Tomatoes, the documentary currently holds a 6% critics’ score, earning the site’s green splat designation. Interestingly, audience reactions tell a very different story, with the Popcornmeter showing 99% approval from viewers, largely made up of her supporters.

According to Ratner, the movie will be available on Prime Video in the coming months. However, he emphasized that the theatrical release is only part of a larger project.

While speaking on the red carpet at the film’s premiere, Ratner explained that the upcoming series will include material that didn’t make it into the final cut of the movie. He said the additional episodes feature entirely new footage, making it a separate three-part documentary rather than an extended version of the film.

The documentary itself focuses on Melania Trump during the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration, offering behind-the-scenes access during a politically charged and highly scrutinized period. The planned series is expected to expand further on those moments and provide more context that wasn’t shown in theaters.
