Lizzo documentary to land later this year

A documentary about Lizzo's life and career is set to be released on HBO Max this Autumn.

It's in good hands, too. HBO says it will be directed by Doug Pray, executive producer of HBO’s Dr. Dre/Jimmy Iovine documentary 'The Defiant Ones'.

The 'About Damn Time' hitmaker announced the project from the stage of the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront presentation at Madison Square Garden yesterday (Wednesday).

Speaking from the stage, Lizzo said: "Growing up I never dreamed I'd get to experience all of the things I've accomplished in my life, and I'm just getting started. I'm so excited I get to share and relive my journey with my fans and HBO Max,"

She continued: "From Cuz I Love You to my dramatic world tour, losing and gaining love, and creating my new album Special, y'all get to see the amount of time, patience, blood, sweat and tears that went into this process. It takes 10 years to become an 'overnight success,' and hopefully, I can inspire other young creatives to keep going."

The documentary is yet to be titled (or at least they haven't told us yet). The exclusive is set to delve into Lizzo's humble beginnings and follow her rise to stardom. Lizzo will serve as an executive producer.
