The original documentary *Melania* premiered on Prime on March 9, but the promised bonus footage was absent at launch. Beckman previously said the Amazon deal included at least two extra episodes, suggesting the forthcoming series may contain that material. Amazon reportedly paid roughly $75 million for the film, which earned $16.6 million at the box office. Streaming performance topped Prime’s internal charts initially, though overall viewership numbers have not been disclosed.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, defended the partnership as a routine business decision. He asserted that the “Melania thing” is a persistent falsehood and emphasized that he had no personal involvement, while noting the film’s commercial success in theaters and on streaming.
