Jessica Simpson Documentary Headed to Netflix Next Year

The film will trace Simpson’s rise from pop star to entrepreneur, with producer Van Toffler and Gunpowder & Sky also attached.

  • On Thursday, Netflix announced it acquired a feature documentary about Jessica Simpson, directed by filmmaker Joe Pearlman, offering fans a deeper look into her life and career.
  • Simpson rose to fame as a pop star in the late 1990s, then became a reality television icon through MTV's Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica with then-husband Nick Lachey from 2003 to 2005.
  • Pearlman, a BAFTA- and Emmy-nominated filmmaker, previously directed Robbie Williams and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now for Netflix. Producer Van Toffler, who oversaw Newlyweds at MTV Networks, joins Gunpowder & Sky on the project.
  • Scheduled for 2027 release, the documentary will see Simpson invite "cameras back in to tell all," according to Netflix's Tudum, marking her continued creative return after releasing Nashville Canyon: Part 1 & Part 2 last year.
  • The film promises an intimate exploration of Simpson's decades-long journey, covering her musical rise, personal struggles, and business ventures while going deeper than headlines into her story.
