Scroll on for everything you need to know about the documentary.
What Netflix show is Kylie Minogue in?
The three-part series, titled KYLIE, will follow Kylie’s career all the way from her breakout role on Neighbours to her chart-topping success, according to a Netflix press release.
In the documentary, Kylie will open her personal archives, home movies, and interviews to give fans a look behind the curtain like they never have before.
It will delve into how she’s dealt with public scrutiny, personal loss and stratospheric stardom in an intimate look into her personal and professional life.
She will also delve into her 2005 cancer battle, with her sister, Dannii, heartbreakingly revealing that they didn’t know if she would recover.
“I felt removed from my body, I was so scared of what was ahead of me,” Kylie confessed in the trailer.
Dannii added, “We didn’t know if she’s ever gonna be well again. I just wanted to be with my sister.”
What was Kylie Minogue diagnosed with?
Separate from her music and acting career, Kylie has also faced difficulties in her personal life. In 2005, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37 and was in recovery for over a year.
“It’s trauma, and any trauma resides within you,” she told CBS News in 2023.
“The experience of a cancer diagnosis will live with me. It was difficult. It was also amazing.”
Kylie has also spoken openly about how her period of ill health affected her family plans, saying the diagnosis “changed everything” for her.
“I don’t want to dwell on it, obviously, but I wonder what that would have been like,” she told the Sunday Times Style in 2024.
She admitted there was a bit of “sadness” for her around the topic, but said she would like to be a stepmother if a potential partner had children of their own or would consider adoption.
Kylie is currently single following her split from Paul Solomons in 2023, and is focusing on her career.
How much was Kylie Minogue’s Netflix deal?
Before the project was officially confirmed, rumours had been swirling that Kylie had sparked a major bidding war between streaming services.
The Mirror previously confirmed Netflix had beaten rivals such as Apple+ and Disney with the rights to her life story.
Filming was believed to have kicked off at the end of 2024, following the phenomenal success of her comeback single Padam Padam.
A source told the publication: “There was a serious bidding war over this. Kylie’s had an incredible life, from starring in Neighbours to becoming a pop icon and still dominating the charts decades later. She has a massive fan base, so there’s no question it will attract a huge audience. That’s why the offers went so high – everyone’s very excited.”
The documentary will be directed by BAFTA Award winner Michael Harte, who was behind the BECKHAM documentary, and it will be released on May 20.
