Melania, a biopic-style documentary based on the second-time United States First Lady Melania Trump, is set to hit theatres on January 30, 2026, becoming her latest venture into showbiz. While speculation is rife over whether it will also land on Netflix, Amazon has secured distribution rights for $40 million, making Prime Video the most likely streaming home. Melania Trump, the model turned Donald Trump's spouse, confirmed the film’s release date on X on Friday, November 28, while also announcing the launch of her very own production banner, Muse Films.
The documentary promises an inside look at Melania Trump’s world during the intense 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration. Directed by Brett Ratner, it features Mrs. Trump’s behind-the-scenes moments as she navigates her transition back to White House life. From overseeing inauguration plans to balancing family duties and rebuilding her office, the film follows her as she prepares her team, her residence, and her return to public life. The confirmation about her upcoming film and business move, notably, comes amid renewed outrage over her enthusiasm for Christmas.
Melania Trump faced intense backlash in 2020 over her leaked Christmas remarks, and her latest participation in the holiday festivities has once again drawn sharp criticism.
Melania Trump cannot escape Christmas controversy
On November 24, as the White House Christmas tree arrived at the mansion’s doorstep, Melania Trump welcomed it, but reports suggest her participation lasted less than three minutes. The brief appearance sparked outrage online, with many recalling the five-year-old leaked tape in which she allegedly said, “Who gives a f--- about Christmas.” Her minimal engagement at this year’s tree arrival has once again drawn criticism, reigniting debates about her enthusiasm, or lack thereof, for the holiday season.

Melania Trump’s upcoming biopic signals yet another step in defining her own narrative, separate from the long shadow of her husband’s public persona. This is not the first time she has charted her own course, though. Previously, she drew attention for praising Donald Trump’s known foe, Taylor Swift, showing a willingness to voice her own opinions. With Melania set to hit theaters and likely stream on Prime Video, audiences are poised to witness a never-before-seen side of the figure, and that much is certain.
