This year, Netflix has secured deals for multiple documentaries like Black Barbie, not just Kylie Minogue’s. Therefore, the success of documentaries on the platform serves as a beacon of hope for their strategy to reinvent themselves. Minogue’s illustrious career began in 1979 with a starring role in The Sullivans before she gained worldwide fame as Charlene Robinson in Neighbours. In 1987, Minogue demonstrated her multifaceted talent by releasing her debut single, followed by her self-titled debut album.

Last year, her queer anthem Padam Padam sparked a resurgence in her career, achieving her highest-charting single in the UK in a decade and her biggest single in the US in over two decades. As Minogue is well-established as one of the music industry's premier pop stars and a prominent ally of the LGBTQ+ community, the announcement of Netflix documenting her story is a particularly timely and exciting development, especially during Pride month.
