Unlike Sir Elton John and Whitney Houston, who have both had big screen biopics in recent years, Janet hopes to make a mini TV drama series.
A source said: “Janet and her team are in talks with writers hoping to find the right one to pen a biopic. US TV channel Lifetime are interested.
“The story would document Janet’s privileged yet difficult beginnings, rise to stardom and her relationship with her brother Michael Jackson”
A insider added: “The plan is to make it a mini series and use her music to make the soundtrack.”
While the model wasn’t involved with the project, Hulu’s recent TV dramatisation of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s rocky relationship was met with critical acclaim.
Pam and Tommy was nominated for multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Awards – including nods for Lead Actor and Actress for Sebastian Stan and Lily James’ portrayal of the iconic duo.
The news comes a month after it was announced Janet would document her upcoming Together Again tour – her first in four years.
The 33-date trek across the US will be filmed for a documentary by US broadcasters Lifetime and A+E Networks.
It will pick up from where her 2022 four part docu-series left off.
Janet, who is also working on new music, said at the time: “I was touched by the love and support from the wonderful fans who enjoyed the documentary last year.
“I am excited to continue to share my story, and welcome fans into my life and the Together Again tour.
“Thank you for your never-ending support, and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.”
She added of new music: “Even though it’s something that I absolutely love, it still is my work, my job.
“There will be music at some point. Exactly when? I can’t say just yet, but there will be. I love it too much not to do it.”
Janet’s latest record, 2015’s Unbreakable, narrowly missed out on the Top 10, peaking at number 11.
