Melania Trump teases new docuseries with promise to answer ‘private questions’
Melania Trump said the two-part project will include private questions and new material after Brett Ratner’s 2026 documentary drew $16.7 million worldwide.
Melania Trump announced Wednesday a two-part docuseries arriving this year, saying it will be "very different" from her previous film and feature intimate one-on-one conversations.
Director Brett Ratner's documentary Melania, released in January, earned only $16.7 million worldwide and faced poor critical reviews. Ratner also appeared in unsealed Epstein files in February 2026.
Amazon MGM Studios paid $40 million for rights to the previous film, with marketing costs reaching $35 million, yet the production earned significantly less than its $75 million total investment.
During a Fox and Friends appearance, President Trump indicated the docuseries will cover new ground, featuring "private questions" she said "people never heard before."
Critics remain skeptical of the director's work; The Times reviewer Amy Nicholson previously called it "vapid" and "mindless," questioning its portrayal of the United States.
