Paris Hilton teams up with YouTube for a new documentary

Reported by Yahoo! (edited)

Paris Hilton is getting her own YouTube documentary which is set to premiere in 2020. The streaming video site, YouTube, also announced a deluge of original series and specials.

The yet-to-be-titled Parisl Hilton film will uncover the unfiltered side of the international icon and the as-yet-unheard story of Paris and her famous family, telling the real story behind all of the headlines as Paris speaks publicly for the first time about the heartbreaking moments in her life that forged who she is today. With unvarnished candor, Paris will open up about trying to make peace with her past while contending with the excitement and challenges of her current global endeavors. This deeply compelling portrait will reveal the woman behind the icon and shed new light on our view of fame, the power of social media, and our celebrity-obsessed culture.

The forthcoming documentary would add to YouTube’s success with ad-supported celebrity docuseries and reality stunts, including Katy Perry: Will You Be My Witness and Will Smith’s recent heli-bungee jump over the Grand Canyon. The docu goes in line with how YouTube is paving a path of original programming that connects celebrity with fans.

The docu will be directed by Alexandra Dean and produced by Hilton along with Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman via Industrial Media’s Intellectual Property Corporation banner.

The new Paris Hilton documentary is part of list of announcements made by YouTube today including a new untitled Justin Bieber project and the renewal of Cobra Kai and Kevin Hart: What The Fit. Impulse and Liza on Demand are currently in production and will return next year.
