E! Confirms ‘I Am Cait’ Documentary-Series
E! has confirmed that there will be a documentary series following Bruce Jenner's transition into a woman. The eight-part, one-hour long series titled I Am Cait will not only focus on the transition and how it affected Bruce's family, it will also follow his new life as Caitlyn Jenner. Throughout the series, fans will get a glimpse into Caitlyn's everyday life as she tries to find a "new normal."
In the promo, which aired on E!, Caitlyn says, "So many people go through life and they never deal with their own issues, no matter what the issues are. Our happens to be gender identity, but how many people go through life and just waste their entire life because they never deal with themselves."
She then talks about learning what it is like to be a woman. Caitlyn says, while putting on her makeup, "You go through all this stuff, and you start learning the pressure that women are under all the time about their appearance."
The world was introduced to Caitlyn this week when Vanity Fair released its July cover. On the cover, Caitlyn posed in white lingerie with the title, "Call Me Caitlyn." The 22-page story covers topics such as her previous marriages, surgeries and the future.
"I'm just going to go live life. I'm going to go enjoy life. I have nothing left to hide. I am kind of a free person, a free soul," Caitlyn said. "[Up] to this point I would wear, you know, Bruce would wear, you know, sweatshirts with hoods on them so paparazzi can't get pictures and all that kind of crap, and I didn't want them to see if my fingernails were polished or, you know, on and on and on. It was just hell. To be able to wake up in the morning, be yourself, get dressed, get ready to go out, and just be like a normal person-that's a wonderful feeling to go through life. I've never been able to do that; it's always been confusion, it's always been, you know, I've got one side [with] boy clothes, the other side's women's clothes. It's like I cleaned the whole closet out-the boys stuff is gone."
Since Caitlyn was introduced to the world, she has received a lot of support.
I Am Cait premieres on E! Sunday, July 26, at 9 p.m. ET.
