HBO To Broadcast Documentary About Lizzo’s Rise To Fame
A documentary about Lizzo‘s life and rise to fame has been announced by US TV network HBO.
The as-yet-untitled film, which is being directed by Doug Pray, executive producer of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s 2018 documentary series The Defiant Ones, was announced at an HBO Max event yesterday.
According to a statement via Rolling Stone, the HBO film will tell “the inspirational story behind her humble beginnings to her meteoric rise with an intimate look into the moments that shaped her hard-earned rise to fame, success, love, and international stardom.”
“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,” Lizzo added.
“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 ten years to become an ‘overnight success,’ and hopefully I can inspire other young creatives to keep going.”
The singer will executive produce the film which is due to drop in the autumn. Before that her new album Special will arrive on July 15. Last week, she told fans that they were doing the viral About Damn Time TikTok dance wrong. “I’m tired of seeing it,” Lizzo began in the tongue-in-cheek video, jokingly sounding angered. “OK?,” she continued.
