Netflix in talks over Spice Girls docuseries from Take That creators

The Spice Girls are being lined up as the focus of a potential tell all documentary series for Netflix.

The producers behind the streaming platform’s recently released Take That three part series are keen for the iconic nineties girl group Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Horner, Melanie C and Victoria Beckham to share what they describe as a remarkable story.

Director David Soutar told the Daily Star: "The Spice Girls would be amazing next. We'll see how this one goes and then we'll speak to Spice Girls!"

Producer Gabe Turner has also made it clear that he would love for Victoria, also known as Posh Spice, to take part, despite her absence from the group’s 2019 reunion tour.

He said: "Posh is sensational.

"We make a fair amount of music and sport docs around pop culture so we're always looking opportunities, the Holy Grail really is the Spice Girls. I think the entire world would like to do Spice Girls.

"I'm having a lot of chat about how much I want to do the Spice Girls. I think the Spice Girls are fielding probably thousands of people saying they want to do the Spice Girls, I just hope someone gets to do it because I think it's another brilliant story."

Victoria fronted her own self titled documentary series last year, following the huge success of the series focused on her husband, retired football icon Sir David Beckham.

Soutar also shared that Take That handed the filmmakers full creative freedom on their project, allowing the story to be told honestly and without filters.

He explained: "The band were very generous with us, and we made it clear from the start that we basically needed creative control of the project.

"We kind of always fight for that because otherwise, what's the point in taking on the project? We're not just here to sort of show as purely a celebration of them. We want to do their justice story, but that's a massive responsibility to be a curator of someone else's story.

"And there's a huge pressure with that because then you are presenting your version of their story to the band, the people subject, and then also out to the world. So it's hard for them. But they understood, and I think mainly that was because we offered them the context in the start. I think we explained that we're not just going to be just taking them through the best days with the highlights. This isn't the highlight reel. We're going to be taking them to the other elements of their story. And I think because we talked about it beforehand, that's sort of our style. We don't just ambush you, we give them the context, make sure they know what's coming, and then get them prepared for it so that you can take me to those places, and they were very generous in letting us take them to those places."

Revisiting that period proved especially tough for Gary Barlow, who was required to confront his past battle with an eating disorder as well as his highly publicised fallout with former bandmate Robbie Williams.
