Victoria Beckham is set to star in a Netflix documentary series that will explore her fashion and beauty business.
The series will offer a “behind-the-scenes” look at Beckham’s reinvention from Spice Girl to a creative director of her own brand.
It follows the success of Beckham, the Netflix docuseries that followed the rise of her husband David Beckham from a young talented footballer to England captain.
The series also gave an insight into the couple’s family life and their relationship, including the pair addressing speculation that David allegedly had an affair while he was playing for Real Madrid in 2003. David has also denied the claims.
The new docuseries, which was announced at Edinburgh TV Festival, will provide further access to the family and those close to them as well as featuring “never-before-seen” archive footage.
The couple married in 1999 and share four children together – Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
Asked whether audiences trust documentaries made by famous stars, Adam Hawkins, Netflix’s documentary series director, said: “I think the audience is incredibly smart, and they can sniff out if you are being inauthentic 100 miles away.
“I honestly believe that Beckham, Robbie Williams – they’re incredibly authentic. They go to places that aren’t always comfortable.”
Discussing Beckham, he added: “One thing was Victoria herself, those scenes with her … she’s surprising, she’s warm, she’s witty, she’s super smart, and now we’re going to get a chance to hang out with her for the next several months.”
Emmy-nominated Nicola Howson, who worked on Beckham, will act as executive producer on the Victoria edition alongside BAFTA-nominated producer Julia Nottingham.
