Amazon is going back to the Melania Trump well. The company is planning a two-part Prime Video series focused on the First Lady, The Verge reported Thursday — a follow-up to the Melania documentary film that premiered earlier this year.
The project comes out of MGM Studios, Amazon's film and TV arm, extending what has become a notable content relationship between the tech giant and the Trump family. The earlier documentary already marked an unusual arrangement for a streamer of Amazon's scale, and committing to a series format suggests the company saw enough of an audience to justify a second, longer-form production.
Details on the series' timeline, participants and release date weren't part of the initial report. What's clear is the strategic through-line: Amazon continues to invest in programming built around the current administration's most-watched figures, and Prime Video gets another exclusive with guaranteed headlines attached — for better or worse, depending on which audience you ask.
