ABC News Studios has announced that the upcoming two-part documentary series, “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields”, will be released on Hulu on April 3rd 2023, following its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

“Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields”, take a galvanizing look at actor, model, and icon Brooke Shields as she transforms from a sexualized young girl to a woman discovering her power. The documentary holds up a mirror to society that objectifies women and girls. Her story shows the perils and triumphs of gaining agency in a hostile world.

In this two-part documentary, director Lana Wilson reveals Shields’ story through media appearances and archival footage, bringing full context to the time when Shields was coming of age in public. Wilson creates space for the adult Shields to share her intelligence, vulnerability, and humanity while reflecting on her career and life, including her complex relationship with her mother, Teri, her marriage to Andre Agassi, and her own struggles with motherhood. Honest and incisive, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields critiques a toxic culture and power structure that perpetuates misogyny and is complicit in the sexualization and objectification of young girls. But, above all, it tells the moving story of Brooke Shields discovering and embracing her own identity and agency.

The documentary has been directed by Lana Wilson, known for her Taylor Swift doc “Miss Americana,” the series is also the first project from George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth’s new production company BedBy8. Matador Content’s Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin also serve as executive producers, and Christine O’Malley and Jack Turner serve as producers.

No international release details have yet been announced, but many ABC News Studios documentaries are released internationally as Star Originals on Disney+.
