The network has announced it's ordered the new eight-episode series that will follow the pop icon as she goes on her "Sweet Sweet Fantasy" European concert tour while also planning her wedding to new fiance James Packer.
"Mariah is one of the most captivating pop superstars of our time and one of the rare artists whose first name alone is instantly recognized around the globe. We're excited to partner with Bunim/Murray Productions, Mariah and Stella Bulochnikov to offer our viewers exclusive access into her private world," E! executive Jeff Olde said in a statement.
"The series will present a unique, vulnerable and surprisingly humorous side to Mariah that her fans have never before seen while showcasing her unparalleled celebrity lifestyle filled with true glamour, maximum luxury and ultimate stardom."
Carey is currently scheduled to make 28 performances on the tour and travel to destinations including the United Kingdom, Europe and Africa. The tour will bookend her "Mariah #1 to Infinity" residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which has been extended into the fall.

"I'm excited to bring my fans into my life for the next journey I'm about to embark on," Carey, who will also be shown planning her wedding to Packer, added in her own statement. "I'm already having so much fun with this documentary and I know you will too. There is nothing like capturing these moments."
Reports Carey was getting her own reality show first surfaced last week. She previously served on American Idol's judging panel with Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson for Season 12 back in 2013. However, Carey called her gig the "worst experience of [her] life" and the show "fake" and "boring." The diva also feuded with Minaj basically the entire time on the set.
Carey got engaged to Packer in January after America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon filed for divorce from her in December 2014. Carey and Cannon have four-year-old twins together named Monroe and Morrocan.
Mariah's World is being produced by Bunim/Murray productions in association with Magic Carpet Productions. Carey, Gil Goldschein, Jeff Jenkins, Farnaz Farjam and Stella Bulochnikov are serving as executive producers.
