Netflix first announced the release of 'Pamela, a love story' in March 2022. Since then, it's been in talks, and now has a release date. The documentry has been directed by Ryan White and will look at Anderson's personal and professional life over the past 30 years.

"An intimate and humanising portrait of one of the world’s most famous blonde bombshells, Pamela, a love story follows the trajectory of Pamela Anderson’s life and career from small town girl to international sex symbol, actress, activist and doting mother," reads the original synopsis on Netflix. Whilst Anderson is tight lipped about what to expect in the documentary, she did share with Netflix that she was skeptical to share her story in the beginning. In the trailer, she says, "I didn't feel like I had a lot of respect," adding, "I had to make a career out of the pieces left."

The Netflix documentry will be a "before" and "after" of Anderson's life in British Columbia, Canada, to how she became Hollywood's sex symbol in the '90s. The documentary also showcases her many loves and heartbreaks. Throughtout the documentary, Anderson will speak about her journey, in her words. The trailer ends with her saying, "Why can't we be the heroes of our own life story."
