Lifetime and Robin Roberts will executive produce a new biopic on singing icon Gloria Gaynor as part of the Robin Roberts Presents Banner and “Voices of a Lifetime” programming slate.
The movie is a fully authorized biopic that will span Gaynor’s over 50 years in the music industry and offers an intimate portrayal of her triumphs both on and off the stage. The Gloria Gaynor biopic is set to air in 2025.
The biopic will chronicle Gaynor’s rise to fame, from her humble beginnings to becoming one of the most iconic voices in music history. Dubbed America’s “Queen of Disco,” the movie will feature many of the songs that catapulted Gaynor to the top of the charts, including her legendary hit “I Will Survive,” which became a cultural phenomenon and a powerful anthem of empowerment for millions worldwide. The biopic will also delve into the deeply personal challenges Gaynor faced, including overcoming her long and tumultuous marriage to a controlling husband.
The yet to be titled biopic will be produced by Rock’n Robin Productions. Executive producers are Robin Roberts and Linda Berman.
A documentary, “Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive,” premiered in theaters last year.
