Lily Allen documentary coming to Prime Video.
The streamer announced the feature-length doc on Wednesday, promising an “intimate portrait of the life and career of a global icon and voice of a generation.” The documentary comes after the explosive release of Allen’s fifth album West End Girl, her first record in seven years, which made headlines for examining her marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour. Allen is currently touring with “West End Girl” and will be hitting the summer festival circuit soon.
The untitled documentary, directed by award-winning documentarian Matt Whitecross (Oasis: Supersonic, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams), “charts Lily’s extraordinary journey from the ‘Queen of MySpace’ who changed the rules of the music industry to the cultural force she is today,” according to the official synopsis. “As a pioneering woman in contemporary music, Lily’s sharp wit and honest storytelling paved the way directly for a generation of today’s greatest female artists.”
According to Prime Video, the doc will be released worldwide in 2027 and will feature “interviews with those who knew her best,” although the names of the participants have not been revealed. “This is a Lily Allen like you’ve never seen before,” the press release states. “Raw, real, and redefining what it means to thrive in the spotlight.”
Allen’s film is being co-produced by Magna Studios, which produced the Oasis documentary “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” and Mint Pictures (“Oasis: Supersonic,” “Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams”). Altitude manages theatrical release and home entertainment rights worldwide.
