The Woman in Me
- Jan 3, 2026
Britney Spears’ memoir The Woman in Me will soon hit the big screen. In August 2024, it was announced that Universal secured the rights to the book and will develop a biopic of the pop icon’s life.
Spears signed the original book deal for $15 million in 2022, making it one of the biggest book deals in history.
The memoir was published in October 2023, almost two years after the ending of her high-profile conservatorship, and told the “Toxic” singer’s life story, starting from her childhood in Mississippi and rise to fame to motherhood and securing her freedom.
Despite only recently acquiring the rights to the memoir, fans won’t need to wait too long for the movie’s release, as it’s expected to hit the silver screen in 2026.

What is the Release Date for The Woman in Me Movie?
The Woman in Me movie doesn’t have an official release date yet. As the film hasn’t entered production, it’s likely it won’t arrive on the silver screen until 2026 at the earliest.
Who Will Direct The Woman in Me?
Jon M. Chu is expected to direct the movie adaptation of The Woman in Me. It’s the next big project Chu will undertake after completing the two-part movie adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical Wicked.
Chu is a bit of an expert on music-inspired content, as he directed Step Up 2: The Streets (2008), In the Heights (2022), and various Justin Bieber music videos.
The film will join the list of music films currently in development. For example, Universal is set to develop a biopic about Snoop Dogg, as well as an untitled movie inspired by Prince’s music.
Who Will Star in The Film?
The Woman in Me cast has yet to be announced, and speculation is swirling about who will play Britney Spears.
Many phenomenal actresses are rumored to take on the role, such as Sabrina Carpenter, Rae Addison, Sydney Sweeney, Tate McRae, Millie Bobbie Brown, Zoey Jones, and Blake Lively, to name a few.
Will Britney Spears Appear in the Woman in Me?
It’s unclear if Britney Spears will appear in the movie adaptation of The Woman in Me.
However, the 42-year-old singer appears actively involved in the flick, as she recently stated on X, “Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies… stay tuned.”
What to Expect in the Movie Adaptation
The movie adaptation will closely follow the book, which chronicled her rise to fame at The Mickey Mouse Club to the struggles of international stardom.
It will likely feature her relationship with pop singer Justin Timberlake, the birth of her two sons, and the battle over her conservatorship.
