Lily Allen Documentary

UK Prime Video announced a 2027 Lily Allen documentary directed by Mat Whitecross.
The film will trace Allen’s rise from “Queen of MySpace” to cultural icon.

Harbour called the breakup story “weird” and said it differs from his view, while Allen said the album mixes fact and fiction.

Summary

Lily Allen Expands

Album peaked at No. 2 UK, earned Silver after 60,000 units, and was Brit Awards British Album of the Year nominee.
“Pussy Palace” gave Allen his first top-10 UK hit in over a decade, while “Madeline” also charted again.
Ticket demand pushed the West End Girl tour from theatre to arena venues, added a North American leg, and led to a documentary opening in IMAX on 11 September before moving to Disney+ later.

History

Historical Context

In May 2015, Asif Kapadia’s documentary Amy premiered at Cannes and opened in UK cinemas on 3 July, later winning the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature. Its release sparked a 300 percent streaming surge of Winehouse’s catalog in the UK and set a precedent for music documentaries driving sales. The 2027 Prime Video Lily Allen film follows the same pattern, linking chart success to renewed touring.
