Upcoming Biography Movies & TV

Upcoming biography and biopic projects include Amazon MGM's I Play Rocky, Fathom's Jimmy, Apple's Being Heumann, Alex Gibney's Musk documentary feature path, and Prime Video's announced Marília biopic in the Latin America slate. Only studio-announced titles are listed.
