Netflix has finally unveiled new details about its long-awaited documentary on Kylie Minogue. In a statement released on Wednesday morning (April 22), the streaming platform described KYLIE as an “intimate” three-part series, offering a rare look into the life and career of the Australian pop icon.
The documentary will see Minogue open up her personal archives, with the project promising a reflective journey through a career that has “continued to captivate, inspire, and soundtrack multiple generations.”
The series will feature a mix of home video footage, personal photographs, and new interviews with the singer herself, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the woman behind global hits such as “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (No. 7), “Love at First Sight” (No. 23), “I Should Be So Lucky” (No. 28), and her breakout 1988 single “The Loco-Motion” (No. 3).
According to the description, the documentary will also explore how she has navigated “public scrutiny, personal loss, and illness with grit and grace,” earning respect well beyond her fanbase.

It will also include contributions from friends, family, and collaborators, including her sister Dannii Minogue, former Neighbours co-star Jason Donovan, singer Nick Cave, and others.
