Lily Allen Documentary Will Reflect on Singer’s Life and Career From MySpace to ‘West End Girl’
Prime Video has announced a career-spanning documentary about Lily Allen, tracing her journey from her earliest MySpace demos to her latest album, West End Girl, which chronicled the breakdown of her marriage to actor David Harbour. The film, currently untitled, is billed by the streamer as "a story of resilience, reinvention, and an artist reclaiming her narrative on her own terms," though Allen's own level of involvement in the project has not been confirmed.
Directed by Mat Whitecross, known for previous music documentaries on Oasis and Coldplay, the project will draw on interviews with people close to Allen, though specific participants have not been named. It is due for release in 2027, with an exact date yet to be set, and Prime Video is planning a theatrical release window alongside the streaming debut. The documentary follows Allen's return to music with West End Girl, released seven years after her 2018 album No Shame, in which she candidly documented her marriage's collapse.
