Jessica shared the big news on Instagram, where she posted a gleeful snap of herself posing beside a brightly-lit Amazon sign by a rolling hillside.
‘I am humbled and honored to partner with @amazonstudios to bring my story and heart to life on the screen and executive produce a fictionalized coming of age series about my mid-twenties, a new intimate unscripted docuseries with music as a key component and 2 essays where I will share my soul and perspective while holding your heart close to mine,’ she announced.
The two essays Jessica will be releasing will be focused on motherhood and gratitude, and will be published through Amazon Original Stories next year, according to Rolling Stone.
Jessica became a New York Times bestselling author earlier this year with the release of her memoir Open Book, which also serves as the inspiration for the scripted series she will be developing with Amazon, adds Rolling Stone.

‘I am humbled and honored to partner with Amazon Studios to bring my story and heart to life on the screen,’ Jessica said in a statement obtained by the music site.
‘I know that parts of my life have been extraordinary, but I also know that many of my struggles are universal. I hope to continue the mission I set out to accomplish in writing Open Book — to inspire others to be entertained, moved, and empowered to walk through fear and come out on the other side even stronger.’
Fans will gain even more access to Jessica’s inner world through her docuseries, which sets to expand on her memoir with never-before-seen personal footage captured these last 10 years, according to Rolling Stone.
The series will ‘explore the highs and lows of Simpson’s life, including her singing career, her journey to sobriety, starting a family, the rise of creating a billion-dollar business, and finding her voice.’

Jessica was just a teenager when she rocketed to fame with the release of her 1999 debut album, Sweet Kisses.
The album contained the duet track Where You Are, which featured 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey, whom she would eventually marry.
The couple famously documented the first few years of their marriage on the MTV series Newlyweds, before divorcing in 2006.
Jessica is now married to former NFL player Eric Johnson, whom she shares daughters Maxwell, eight, Birdie Mae, one, and son Ace, seven, with.
