David Beckham Says ‘It Wasn’t Easy’ to Convince Victoria Beckham to Do Her Own Netflix Docuseries, but It’s ‘Really Special’: ‘It’s So Emotional and the Drama’s Real’

On Tuesday, David Beckham showcased his wife Victoria Beckham’s upcoming Netflix documentary series at MIP London, expressing to Netflix’s head of content Bela Bajaria that it is truly unique. However, persuading the ex-Spice Girl to be involved required some encouragement.

The ex-soccer champion and Emmy-winning producer admitted, “It took a moment to persuade her, and it wasn’t simple. I believe I was the only one capable of doing so, and I managed to win her over in the end.

In a new series produced under Beckham’s Studio 99 banner, directed by Nadia Hallgren (who also worked on “Becoming”), viewers will have an opportunity to see Victoria Beckham in a fresh perspective. This upcoming, as-yet-unnamed production began filming in August and focuses on Beckham’s transformation from ’90s Spice Girls sensation into today’s influential fashion icon.

As a devoted movie critic, I can attest that the woman who shares my life is one of the most diligent individuals I’ve encountered, and she’s spent the past two decades tirelessly growing her business. This upcoming documentary will undoubtedly leave viewers in awe due to its intricate layers. Some might assume her success came effortlessly or overnight, but they’d be mistaken; she’s been putting in the hard work for a long time.

He remarked, “I believe it’s going to be incredibly significant. It carries a deep emotional impact, there’s genuine tension – and the tension is authentic.

Last year at Paris Fashion Week, Beckham recalled a nerve-wracking incident he experienced: “I arrived, as usual, the night before to check out the venue and walk through with her. I’m never anxious about one of her shows, but this time I was concerned. It was supposed to rain, heavily. The rain was relentless. The models were shivering. Every aspect of it seemed like it could go awry.

Even though David Beckham started his production venture later than most globally recognized sports stars, he created a significant impact in 2023 with “Beckham,” a four-part docuseries produced by his Studio 99 company. The series, directed by Fisher Stevens, delved into Beckham’s life, career, and marriage to Victoria Beckham and received widespread praise. Last year, it won the Emmy for exceptional documentary or nonfiction series.

Last year, in an exclusive interview with EbMaster, Beckham openly shared his apprehensions about his kids watching the show titled “Beckham.

He mentioned that he had been somewhat concerned about his daughter coming across comments made about him in the past and how she might respond. However, he noted that nothing seemed to phase her. He explained that for a long time, he’s shared with his daughter that his wife used to wear extremely short skirts. Upon hearing this, she reacted by saying, “Daddy, Mommy really did wear very short skirts!” But in the end, she found it amusing.

Apart from “Save Our Squad” on Disney+, Studio 99 has also created shows such as “Edge of Everything,” focusing on the life story of snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan, and an upcoming documentary exploring the historical rivalry between athletic brands Adidas and Puma.
