Set to launch on 20 May, the series charts Minogue’s journey from chart-topping pop star to one of music’s most enduring and shape-shifting icons, having sold more than 80 million records worldwide.
Described as an “intimate” portrait, KYLIE sees the singer open up her personal archives, offering viewers a rare glimpse into decades of home videos, photographs and behind-the-scenes moments, alongside new interviews.

The documentary also delves into the challenges she has faced throughout her career, including intense public scrutiny and personal loss.
KYLIE will cover Minogue’s 2005 breast cancer diagnosis, too. She postponed her Showgirl tour after announcing she would undergo treatment, later returning to complete the run in 2006.
The project is directed by Emmy and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Michael Harte, known for Three Identical Strangers, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie and BECKHAM.
