A new Amazon documentary will focus on soon-to-be US First Lady Melania Trump. The project by Prime Video is set to be released later this year, with Mrs Trump working as an executive producer.

Although Amazon Prime has only revealed a few details surrounding the project, it said it was looking forward to sharing this “truly unique story”.

The project commenced filming in December of last year, and is set to be released in theatres and on Amazon Prime in the second half of 2025.

Amazon commented: "Prime Video will be sharing more details on the project as filming progresses and release plans are finalized.

"We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world."

Since the announcement, neither Melania Trump nor Donald Trump have commented on the documentary, leading to speculation of how involved Melania will be in the project. However, the executive producer role indicates she has editorial control.

The documentary will be directed by Brett Ratner. Ratner was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017, his lawyer denied the allegations against him.

Melania Trump released an autobiography in October, which became a New York Times and Amazon best seller. Since leaving the White House in 2017, Melania has only made a few public appearances with Donald Trump.

It has been reported by some US news outlets that she will not live in the White House after Donald Trump has taken the oath of office later this month.
