The Pogmentary will follow the life of the France international, who has signed a deal with Amazon, giving a unique insight into his life on and off the pitch and will air in 2022.
Head of European originals at Amazon Studios Georgia Brown said: “Paul Pogba is one of the most prominent talents of his time, so we are thrilled to be collaborating with him with an overall deal and his series The Pogmentary.

“We all know Paul for what he can do on a football pitch, but his influence reaches much further, and he is without doubt an icon for an entire generation.
“Through the unprecedented access afforded to us, Prime Video will show the man behind the fame, delving into his life off the pitch and letting him tell his story in his own words.”
Prime Video has already shown a number of popular sporting documentaries, including All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur, Truth Seekers and All or Nothing: Manchester City and The Test.
Meanwhile, former Man Utd striker Odion Ighalo, who played in the same team as the World Cup winner, has hailed the Frenchman as a “good guy”.
The Nigeria international also thinks Pogba is “one of the best players” that he has ever had the pleasure of playing alongside.
“He’s one of the best players I’ve played with and one of the best players at Manchester United,” Ighalo told Sky Sports.
“Apart from playing on the pitch, he’s a good guy in the dressing room, a funny guy, he’s always happy. The only time he isn’t happy is when he’s not playing and I can understand that – everyone wants to play.
“If Manchester United have the opportunity to keep him on a new, longer deal, they should because he is so influential.
“Sometimes he doesn’t have the best of games but that’s normal, you can’t be 100% in every game but when he turns up, like he did yesterday against Tottenham, he is exceptional.”
