It’s been over 20 years since Jessica Simpson invited cameras into her life with the reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica. In the years since, she’s sold more than 20 million records worldwide, launched one of the most successful celebrity licensing brands in history, and written a bestselling memoir, Open Book. After a 15-year hiatus from original music, Jessica returned to recording and performing with her two 2025 Nashville Canyon EPs. Now, she’s invited the cameras back in to tell all in a new documentary.

Directed by BAFTA nominee Joe Pearlman, the feature will stream on Netflix in 2027.

The documentary is produced by Van Toffler. Its executive producers are Gunpowder & Sky, Joe Pearlman, and Jonathan Silberberg. The film is a Gunpowder & Sky production.

Stay tuned for more updates on the documentary ahead of its 2027 premiere.

A camera operator films a woman sitting at a table indoors, with fabric samples and clothing around, in a well-lit room with large curtains in the background.
