Amy Schumer’s comedy specials are straight-up hilarious, so you can only imagine what her new documentary will be like. 

Expecting Amy takes us behind the scenes of the 9 months in which the comedienne carries her first child, Gene. 

The pregnancy was not an easy one and the documentary aims to showcase that while including Amy’s doctors visits, down-time with her family, and moments from her Growing tour. 

“Amy Schumer is an inspiration and this project is such an honest look at her experience being on the road while preparing for her special,” Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max, said of the documentary which is out in 2020.”Her willingness to showcase her immense vulnerability, during the most challenging time in her life, is both empowering and hilarious.”

“Women are warriors, every one of us. And I hope sharing my story brings more awareness to the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth,” Amy said. 

We couldn’t have said it better.
