You know the name, but not the whole story. Cher is opening up about six decades of music, movies, love, and struggle in a new Netflix series and memoir that finally let her speak for herself.
A major Netflix series, Sharing Her Story, is nearly sealed in a deal worth around £13 million. Seven episodes, one icon, and no one else in control of the narrative.
This new chapter links directly to her memoirs. Part One, released in 2024, stopped just as the 1980s began. It covered her dyslexic childhood, chaotic home life, the wild rise of Sonny & Cher, and an abusive marriage where Sonny controlled her money and career.
Part Two, set to arrive alongside the Netflix series in 2026, moves into the eras fans are most curious about: the solo comeback, the films, the Oscar, the reinventions, the activism, the heartbreaks, and the late-career victories that turned her into “The Goddess of Pop.”

A huge part of Cher’s story, both in the memoir and in the upcoming series, is her first marriage to Sonny Bono. Behind the jokes and hit songs was a young woman who felt controlled in every part of her life. Her money, her clothes, even the size of her dreams were tightly managed. That painful truth is what she finally names out loud.

Across all these chapters, one image of Cher keeps coming back: a woman who refuses to stay frozen in anyone else’s version of her. Leaving Sonny was the break. What came next was the makeover of a lifetime. Years later, that spirit explodes onstage in one defining moment: “Believe” on her Farewell Tour. The voice, the staging, the confidence at 52 all show why her story is worth a seven-part series and two memoirs.
