The untitled docuseries from Amazon Studios marks the second time that Williams will tell her story onscreen and let fans into her world.

The famed athlete previously starred in a five-part HBO docuseries back in 2018, titled Being Serena, which similarly explored both her personal and professional life.

"I chose now to share these moments because I was going through something different in my life," Williams previously explained in a trailer for the series at the time. "I always wanted to get it down in a documentary so I can always say to my daughter, 'Olympia, look at all these moments.'"

"It's about me and it's about my life, it's about the ups and downs," she added. "It goes through my pregnancy, that awful time that I had during in the delivery room, you know, the emotions of being afraid and then it also covers my wedding — which was so exciting — working on my fashion line and then winning the Australian Open."
