Directed by RJ Cutler and produced by This Machine, a Sony Pictures Television company, the film will blend new interviews with the 90-year-old actress and previously unseen archival footage covering her early vaudeville work, breakthrough roles in Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and The Princess Diaries. Two days later, Disney’s promotional image of Andrews prompted speculation that she had died. Disney clarified that the post was solely promoting the documentary and reiterated the 2027 release schedule. Cutler, whose previous work includes Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, stated that the film will delve into the extraordinary challenges Andrews overcame, describing her as a “cultural touchstone.” By August 2026, Andrews shared reflections on her career, noting that despite her experience, she still feels “a bit shy” when starting new projects. Her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton, also discussed the challenges of living with second-hand fame. The pair are also collaborating on a new children’s book titled ‘Shy’, scheduled for release on 11 August 2026. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-10: Julie Andrews reflects on career milestones and new projects Iconic actress Julie Andrews discusses her career milestones, her ongoing feelings of shyness toward new projects, and her upcoming children's book and Disney+ documentary with her daughter. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/julie-andrews-reflects-on-career-milestones-and-new-projects ### 2026-07-24: Disney+ Announces Julie Andrews Documentary for 2027 Release Disney+ will release a Julie Andrews documentary in 2027, directed by RJ Cutler, featuring new footage; a promotional post sparked fan backlash. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/disney-to-release-julie-andrews-documentary-in-2027 ### 2026-07-22: Disney+ Announces Julie Andrews Documentary for 2027 Release Disney+ confirmed a global 2027 documentary on Julie Andrews, directed by R.
