The director added that it was "a bit surprising" for the network to sign with Coleen Rooney but her story is one that "people want to hear".
Disney+ stated the story will be told by "the woman at the heart of it all", as well as interviews from her nearest and dearest.
The streaming giant said: "The three-part series will take viewers from the circumstances that led to her infamous Instagram post that 'broke the Internet' all the way to Coleen being a successful defendant in one of the UK’s highest-profile High Court defamation cases brought against her by Rebekah Vardy.
"In a story for our times, Wagatha Christie will reveal how fiercely determined and resilient Coleen had to be in order to protect her family from the challenges presented by the traditional and social media landscapes."
