Amazon is now making a Melania Trump TV series

PolicyNovember 7, 20261 min read

Amazon is making a two-part TV series about First Lady Melania Trump. It will be shown on Amazon's streaming service, Prime Video, and it follows an earlier movie about her.

What happened

Amazon plans to release a two-part show called Melania: The Series on Prime Video. It is set to debut on November 20. The show is about the days right after Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration, when Melania Trump became First Lady. Brett Ratner, who directed the earlier Melania movie, directed both episodes.

Key facts

The series has two episodes.
The first episode is called "Family & Trust." It covers the pressure inside the White House as trust is tested.
The second episode is called "Pride & Honor." It covers her first moments of work as First Lady after the inauguration.
The show is set to debut on November 20.

Why there is a movie first

Earlier this year, Amazon released a documentary movie about Melania Trump. The new series comes after that film. Amazon's press release says the show shows stories that have never been told before.

Why it matters

This shows how Amazon is putting more money into TV shows and movies about public figures. It also shows how political stories are becoming big business on streaming services. The movie's cost has also been talked about in the news, so people will be watching how this new project is received.

What to watch for

Whether the show debuts on November 20 as planned.
How viewers and critics respond to the two episodes.
Whether the series gets more attention because of the earlier movie's big cost.

TikTok’s For You page needs to change, says the EU

The European Commission alleges that TikTok's recommendation algorithm creates a "rabbit hole effect" that can harm users through repeated exposure to content about sadness, isolation, or body image, and says TikTok's existing controls are not effective. In preliminary findings, regulators say TikTok must change the design of its For You feed or face fines of up to 6 percent of its global annual turnover. It is the first time the Commission has cited a recommendation algorithm as the reason for a breach of the Digital Services Act.

Giant Garbage Patch Turns Pacific Waters Turquoise

Researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway report that microplastic concentrations in the Pacific garbage patch, between Hawaii and California, have shifted seawater there toward blue and green over the past two decades, giving it a turquoise tint. Satellite data from 2002 to 2022 showed stronger blue-green reflectance in the area, and computer simulations matched the satellite images only when plastic was included. The team says on-site measurements are still needed to confirm that microplastics directly cause the color change.

DSA proceedings: EU Commission threatens TikTok with fine

The European Commission has preliminarily found that TikTok's recommendation algorithm, which selects short videos for the "For You" feed, is not compliant with the Digital Services Act (DSA), as it creates a "rabbit hole" effect. The company faces a possible fine of up to 6 percent of its global annual turnover if the Commission confirms these findings. The findings are part of an investigation that began in February 2024.
