Mariah Carey Documentary Series Coming to E!

It’s about time! Mariah Carey officially confirmed days of rumors: She’ll star in the reality documentary series called Mariah’s World, which will include eight one-hour episodes following the singer as she begins her Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour and plans her wedding to James Packer, according to a press release.

“Mariah is one of the most captivating pop superstars of our time and one of the rare artists whose first name alone is instantly recognized around the globe. We’re excited to partner with Bunim/Murray Productions, Mariah and Stella Bulochnikov to offer our viewers exclusive access into her private world,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming & Development, E!, in a press release. “The series will present a unique, vulnerable and surprisingly humorous side to Mariah that her fans have never before seen while showcasing her unparalleled celebrity lifestyle filled with true glamour, maximum luxury and ultimate stardom.”

“I’m excited to bring my fans into my life for the next journey I’m about to embark on,” said Carey in the same release. “I’m already having so much fun with this documentary and I know you will too. There is nothing like capturing these moments.”

“I refuse to call it a reality show,” Carey told The New York Times of Mariah’s World, which she announced in a candid interview published on Tuesday. That doesn’t mean there won’t be a big dose of Carey’s reality: However, Packer doesn’t want to be on the show. “He’s a legit businessman,” Carey explained to the Times. “It’s not really his thing to be, like, traipsing all over Europe and hanging out with all my crew and dancers and singers.”

A release date has not been announced yet but stay tuned for that.
