Victoria Beckham already stole the show in Netflix’s sweeping, tumultuous docuseries Beckham, with that viral moment in which she—admittedly after some goading from David—revealed what car she was driven to school in (answer: a Rolls-Royce, of course). She even made a t-shirt in response to it. But now, she’s doing one better: that is to say, taking center stage in her very own Netflix documentary series. And it now has a release date.
On August 21, the streaming giant announced that a new release centered on the designer, performer, and all-round icon would be coming to the platform. “Starting in her days as a Spice Girl in the ’90s, Victoria Beckham has been one of the most recognizable women in the world,” read the accompanying press release. “Her Posh Spice days may be behind her, but today Beckham is on a journey to build a fashion empire—and now, fans will be able to see the story behind it all.”
The new show, it continued, would focus on Victoria “and her fashion and beauty business. With exclusive access to [her], her family, and those closest to her, the series explores her time in the global spotlight. Following husband David Beckham’s doc series chronicling his rise to fame as a successful football player and pop culture icon, the upcoming doc promises to get up close and personal with the former pop star as she juggles her business and family life.”
It’s now been announced that Victoria Beckham will drop exclusively on Netflix on October 9.
While Fisher Stevens (a.k.a. Succession’s beleaguered Hugo), the director of Beckham who brought an incredible warmth and humor to the aforementioned documentary, sadly isn’t involved this time around, another Beckham alum is: the Emmy-nominated executive producer Nicola Howson. Also alongside her will be producer Julia Nottingham, who has a track record of bringing the real stories of formidable, tabloid-harassed, and frequently misunderstood women to the screen, having worked on the likes of Netflix’s Pamela: A Love Story and Hulu’s Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.
Until then, keep up your Beckham rewatch.
