Jennifer Lopez is stepping back into the spotlight — but this time, it’s not just about the music or the moves. In a powerful blend of film, memoir, and music, J.Lo has officially announced what she’s calling “her most personal project to date.” Titled “From the Block to the Big Screen,” this upcoming Netflix docu-feature will follow Lopez’s journey from her Bronx roots to international stardom — with raw honesty, never-before-seen footage, and revelations that promise to reshape how fans see her.
The project will include emotional retrospectives, unreleased performances, and behind-the-scenes glimpses from her most iconic roles, concerts, and red carpet moments. But it goes deeper. Lopez will open up about the struggles behind her resilience — career setbacks, heartbreak, public criticism, and the constant balancing act of motherhood and fame.
J.Lo says, “This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the truth. The good, the bad, the lessons — all of it.” Directed by award-winning filmmaker Nadia Hallgren (Becoming*), the film also explores her transition into producing, her influence in Latina representation in Hollywood, and how she’s redefining what it means to be a woman in power at 50+.
Accompanying the documentary is a new original soundtrack featuring collaborations with artists like Bad Bunny, Rosalía, and a surprise duet that’s already got fans speculating.
Set for release in Summer 2026, From the Block to the Big Screen will stream exclusively on Netflix, with a limited theatrical premiere in New York and Los Angeles.
This isn’t just Jennifer Lopez’s story — it’s a celebration of survival, reinvention, and never forgetting where you came from.
