Rihanna documentary teases first image as Amazon reveals it’s ‘coming soon’

The highly anticipated Rihanna documentary in almost here.

A fan account shared the first look at the project, which Amazon Studios picked up for $25million last year.

The very first image for Rihanna: Volume One shows the singer/entrepreneur/fashion designer in the studio.

While no release date was revealed, the page did say: ‘Coming soon.’ 

There are few details about the Peter Berg-directed project, describing the piece as an ‘inside look at the personal and professional life of Rihanna.’ 

Berg has been working on the project for a number of years.

The director was given an all-access look at the star, compiling over 1200 hours of footage to create the doc.

Berg previously worked with the Anti songstress on the 2012 thriller Battleship.

Though the project was presented to multiple distributors, streaming services made the biggest bids. Reportedly Endeavor Content began showing off footage of the project during Cannes before securing their deal with Amazon.

Rihanna has already been involved in several Amazon Prime projects.

Earlier this year, she appeared in the straight-to-streaming Donald Glover project Guava Island which was produced by Amazon Studio.

And her Fenty X Savage lingerie show was streamed exclusively on the platform this past September.

Director Peter Berg dished to THR about the project all the way back in 2017, talking about his travels with Rihanna and one of the traumatic moments they experienced together.

‘That was a fun change of pace…’ he told the outlet. ‘To go travel with Rihanna around Europe, and Rihanna is surrounded by girls. We were in Nice [France]. She was going to do a concert on Bastille Day. 

‘And that truck driver who killed all those people plowed through them right in front of our hotel. So even in me trying to do something light, I had a very, very front row seat to something that horrific.’
