Photo credit: Charlie DenisLondon, 22nd July 2026 - Prime Video today announced a feature-length, biographical documentary film offering an intimate portrait of the life and career of a global icon and voice of a generation, Lily Allen.
The announcement comes off the back of Lily's phenomenal musical return with West End Girl, widely cited by critics as one of the most talked-about and culturally impactful album releases in recent years. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Mat Whitecross (Oasis: Supersonic, Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams) and co-produced by Magna Studios (Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger) and Mint Pictures, the film will be released globally in 2027.
The retrospective documentary will chart Lily's extraordinary journey, from the "Queen of MySpace" who changed the rules of the music industry, to the cultural force she is today. As a pioneering woman in modern music, Lily's sharp wit and candid storytelling directly paved the way for a generation of today's biggest female artists.
Featuring interviews with those who know her best, the documentary builds a rich and revealing portrait of an artist defined by her creative fearlessness. This is a story of resilience, reinvention, and an artist reclaiming her narrative on her own terms. This is Lily Allen as she's never been seen before. Raw, real, and redefining what it means to thrive in the spotlight.
Mat Whitecross, Director, commented: “From the moment she hit the scene, Lily rewrote all the rules of British pop, effortlessly capturing the zeitgeist with her razor sharp lyrics, unflinching honesty and a voice that was fresh, funny and fearless. Twenty years on, she's back with West End Girl, more vital, uncompromising and relevant than ever. I’m so thrilled to be working with Lily on this film – an intimate portrait of an extraordinary artist whose music has soundtracked a generation”
Louis Mole, Creative Director, Magna Studios, added: "At Magna, we’re drawn to stories of iconic figures who are ready to share their truth with honesty and authenticity. Partnering with Mat Whitecross and Fiona Neilson at Mint to bring Lily’s remarkable, deeply human story to a global audience embodies the culturally resonant storytelling we champion.”
Fiona Neilson, Producer/EP, Mint Pictures “At a time when authenticity feels increasingly rare, Lily represents everything worth celebrating: creativity, honesty, courage and uncompromising artistry. Above all, she embodies freedom and genuine human connection, qualities that feel more vital now
than ever. In a world of manufactured personas and misinformation, Lily is the real thing. A true original. A true Artist”
Altitude will manage the global theatrical release and home entertainment rights worldwide.
