Why Does Amazon Want a TV Show Starring Melania Trump?

According to Variety, Amazon has announced plans to release a two-part documentary series about First Lady Melania Trump on November 20. This follows the release of the feature documentary 'Melania,' directed by Brett Ratner, which premiered in theaters in January. The report notes that despite Amazon spending $75 million on rights and marketing, the film earned only $16.6 million. Variety's Daniel D'Addario questions the timing of this new project, noting that in the wake of the midterm elections, which signaled a nationwide repudiation of her husband's political movement, it remains unclear what new perspective the series intends to offer.
