Overview
- The three-part Victoria Beckham series launched on Netflix on October 9, centering on her post–Spice Girls life, family and marriage, and the making and management of her fashion brand.
- Co-produced by Dorothy St Pictures and David Beckham’s Studio 99 and directed by Nadia Hallgren, the project is framed as Beckham taking control of her narrative.
- BARB data shows episode one drew nearly 1.7 million UK viewers in its first week versus 3.8 million for David Beckham’s 2023 debut, with episodes two and three at roughly 1.3 million and 1.0 million; Netflix’s own metrics may differ.
- In Q&As and media interviews in New York and London, Beckham spoke openly about long-running body-image issues and an eating disorder that surfaced during filming, as well as investor-driven restructuring after costly missteps at her label, which she now says is profitable.
- Reception ranges from warm industry support to critics who see a controlled advert for Brand Beckham, and she told SiriusXM a potential Spice Girls residency would be “tempting,” though a full tour is unlikely.
