July 22 (UPI) -- Disney+ is developing a new documentary about Oscar-winning actress Julie Andrews.
The streaming service announced Wednesday that it will release a "definitive" new documentary film about Andrews' life and career in 2027.
Andrews, 90, is an award-winning British singer and actress known for such films as Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music and The Princess Diaries.
The Disney+ documentary is directed by R.J. Cutler (Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry) and will feature never-before-seen archival footage and new interviews.
"This definitive portrait offers an intimate and revealing look at Andrews' extraordinary journey, from her early days in British vaudeville to her meteoric rise as a global superstar. Marked by resilience, heartbreak, reinvention and enduring grace, her story goes far beyond the spotlight," an official description reads.
In a press release, Cutler praised Andrews as "a beloved performer" and "a cultural touchstone."
"Most people don't know the extraordinary challenges she's had to overcome throughout her life, all of which we delve into in this film. To sit with Julie, to be allowed into her inner world, to watch her reflect on a life that has shaped so many other lives was an experience I will forever cherish,' the filmmaker said.
Andrews' most recent roles include voicing Lady Whistledown on the hit Netflix series Bridgerton.
