Music and entertainment icon Cher is reportedly on the verge of signing a monumental deal with Netflix for a deeply personal documentary series. The agreement, said to be worth a staggering £12.6 million, will see the superstar, who turns 80 in May, share an unprecedented look into her life and career.
A Seven-Part Deep Dive Into an Icon's Life
According to reports, the project is a seven-part series currently under the working title 'Sharing Her Story'. The show promises to take an extremely detailed look at the singer's personal journey, exploring both the celebrated highs and challenging lows of her six-decade career in the spotlight. A source close to the negotiations claimed the deal is "as good as done," following months of talks between Cher's team and the streaming giant.
The documentary's release is tentatively scheduled for the end of 2026. This timing is strategic, as it is expected to coincide with the publication of the second volume of Cher's highly anticipated memoir, which is due for release in November 2026. This dual release will offer fans a comprehensive multimedia insight into the legend's life story.
More Projects on the Horizon: Biopic and Final Album
Beyond the Netflix series, Cher has a slate of other major projects in development. It has been confirmed that a biopic is in the works at Universal Pictures, which will dramatise her extraordinary life for the big screen. Furthermore, the artist is actively back in the recording studio, working on what is widely believed to be her final studio album.
Cher herself expressed genuine excitement about this new musical endeavour in an online post to fans late last year, hinting that it could serve as a capstone to her legendary recording career.
Revisiting a Tumultuous Past and Celebrating the Present
The documentary and memoir are expected to shed new light on well-known chapters of Cher's life, including her complex relationship with her first husband and musical partner, the late Sonny Bono. In her writings, Cher has detailed feeling trapped in their marriage from 1969 to 1975 and has made serious allegations about his behaviour during that time.
The series will also cover her brief marriage to Gregg Allman, the birth of her two sons, and the personal struggles within her family, including her son Elijah Blue's public battles with addiction.
In a more recent development, the documentary will likely address Cher's current romance with music executive Alexander 'AE' Edwards, who is 40 years her junior. The singer has been openly defiant of critics, telling CBS Mornings last November that she and Edwards "have a blast" together and dismissing naysayers with a characteristic "Whatever."
With a career-defining documentary, a major biopic, and a final album all in progress, Cher is meticulously crafting the next chapter of her legacy, ensuring her story is told on her own terms for generations to come.
