The documentary series chronicling Caitlyn Jenner’s transition from male to female will premiere at the end of July, E! announced on Wednesday.
“I’m the new normal,” Jenner declares in the promotional video for the eight-part series, I Am Cait.
Jenner appears in the clip wearing makeup and driving through Malibu, California, along the sunny coast – an image evocative of her glamorous coming out earlier this week.
On Monday, Vanity Fair released its latest cover, featuring Caitlyn, the former male Olympic decathlon athlete Bruce Jenner. She sported a cream-colored corset for the image, taken by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, under the headline “Call me Caitlyn”.
She first announced the transition in an ABC interview with Diane Sawyer in late April. The events leading up to these moments will likely be portrayed in the series.
“So many people go through life and they never deal with their own issues, no matter what the issues are,” Jenner said in a preview of her docu-series. “Ours happen to be gender identity, but how many people go through life and just waste their entire life because they just never deal with themselves to be who they are.”
In the 60-second clip, Jenner says that she is learning about the pressure women are under to maintain a good appearance and makes her first venture into the world with her new identity.
The first hourlong episode of the E! network series airs on Sunday 26 July at 9pm ET.
