The documentary tracing how the first Black Barbie came to be in 1980 arrives on Netflix June 19th.
Netflix has released a trailer and release date for Black Barbie , a new documentary from Grey's Anatomy and Bridgerton executive producer Shonda Rhimes ' Shondaland . The documentary, which debuts June 19th on the streaming platform, is set to tell the untold story of the first Black Barbie and the Black women at Mattel who helped make the doll a reality in 1980.
"I think there's something really powerful about it. I played with those dolls when I was a kid," Rhimes told Variety earlier this year."We also had just a very interesting opportunity to add to that documentary, and to provide a lot more content and context. We have added interviews; we've been inside Mattel."
"I think it was important because the idea that you are creating this sort of iconic Barbie, this iconic woman and she's only one color and everybody else has to be named something else was a very interesting thing.," Rhimes told Today."And there was a woman working at Mattel and they said, 'Why don't you make ones that look like us?'"
Will There be a Barbie Sequel?While Black Barbie is coming to Netflix later this month to shine a light on the creation of the first Black Barbie doll in 1980, Barbie fans have also been wondering if there will be a sequel to one of the biggest movies of 2023, Greta Gerwig's Barbie. Presently, a sequel is not in the works, though Gerwig has previously said that she doesn't entirely rule out the idea of a sequel, provided there's a story to tell.
