Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for its highly anticipated documentary celebrating the life, music, and legacy of music icon Diana Ross. Titled “Diana: The Supreme Life,” the documentary promises an intimate, unfiltered look at the woman who helped shape pop culture and music history across decades.
A Supreme Story Comes to the Screen
The documentary, directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay, takes viewers on an emotional and inspiring journey through Ross’s legendary career — from her early days with The Supremes to her groundbreaking solo achievements in music, film, fashion, and activism.
The newly released trailer opens with black-and-white footage of a young Diana performing on stage, interwoven with voiceovers from Ross herself. “I knew I had something special. I just had to keep dreaming,” she says, setting the tone for a story of resilience, creativity, and unmatched talent.
Exclusive Footage and Rare Interview
Netflix promises never-before-seen home videos, archival concert footage, and exclusive interviews with music legends, close family members, and modern artists who credit Diana as their inspiration — including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Smokey Robinson, and Tracee Ellis Ross, her daughter
The trailer teases emotional highlights, such as Ross’s civil rights activism, her challenges navigating fame as a Black woman in the industry, and her triumphs — including her historic performance in Central Park and her Oscar-nominated role in Lady Sings the Blues.
Cultural Impact and Timeless Relevance
“Diana Ross changed the sound of American music — and she did it with grace, glamour, and guts,” DuVernay said in a press release. “This film is about more than her career; it’s about how she redefined possibility.”
The documentary arrives at a time when music documentaries are resonating with audiences, with recent successes like Beckham, The Greatest Night in Pop, and Miss Americana. But few artists have the enduring cross-generational appeal of Diana Ross.
Release Date and Global Launch
Diana: The Supreme Life will premiere globally on Netflix on August 23, 2025, which marks Ross’s 81st birthday. The release is expected to be accompanied by a digital soundtrack, featuring remastered hits and live versions of classics like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Endless Love,” and “I’m Coming Out.”
Final Note
Fans and music lovers alike are already buzzing on social media, calling the trailer “goosebump-worthy” and “long overdue.” As Netflix continues its commitment to highlighting influential cultural figures, this documentary stands out as a tribute to one of the most iconic voices of our time.
