The camera began rolling on the series, which is titled Victoria Beckham, last September, and it’s hitting screens on Thursday 9 October.

At first, Victoria was hesitant to green-light the project. It wasn’t until she participated in her husband David Beckham’s documentary, and he told her she stole the show, that the 51-year-old decided to give it the go ahead.

“It wasn’t the easiest thing to get her to agree to, but in my opinion, she was the star of mine,” the 50-year-old former soccer legend told UK Today earlier this year.

“So I just thought this is the opportunity, because she’s been working on our brand for the last 18 years, and she’s unbelievably hardworking, and no-one gets to see that.”

Now, the former Spice Girl is hitting back at the criticism she has received about her public image throughout her career.

“People thought I was that miserable cow that never smiled,” she admits in the new footage.  “But I do. Don’t be shocked. I have never forgotten where I come from.”

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming Victoria Beckham Netflix documentary.

WHAT WILL THE VICTORIA BECKHAM DOCUMENTARY BE ABOUT?

In the statement announcing the documentary series, Netflix promised it would “get up close and personal with the former pop star as she juggles her business and family life”.

“Since becoming a household name in the ’90s, Victoria Beckham has been one of the most recognisable women in the world. Now Beckham is on a journey to build a fashion empire — and now, fans will be able to see the story behind it all,” the announcement reads.

“With exclusive access to Victoria, her family, and those closest to her, the series explores her time in the global spotlight.”

At this stage, we know that at least some of the series will focus on the lead up to Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show last year.

In a clip shown at Tudum earlier this year, the former Spice Girl is seen looking horrified as rain threatens to wreck her outdoor runway in the Château de Bagatelle in Paris.

“I want to know why I keep doing this when I don’t really need to… It can’t just be because I’m passionate about fashion and beauty,” the 51-year-old says on camera.

With the runway soaked, Victoria is forced to make an on-the-spot decision about whether or not to go ahead with the show, as an assistant tells her, “It’s up to you, Victoria”.

In another clip shown at Next on Netflix, the ‘Not Such An Innocent Girl’ singer says she hopes by making the documentary she’ll discover why she felt driven to launch her business when she “didn’t need to”.

“I hope this will be like therapy,” she says.

Victoria Beckham will also include interviews and insights from fashion insiders, including Tom Ford, Roland Mouret, and Anna Wintour, alongside close friends and family such as her husband David and long-time friend Eva Longoria.

In addition, the documentary will touch on the media scrutiny she has faced over the years and the impact that has had on her body image.

WILL BROOKLYN BECKHAM BE IN THE VICTORIA BECKHAM DOCUMENTARY?

As the premiere date for Victoria Beckham nears, many fans are curious to see if Victoria and David’s four children will make an appearance.

The couple shares sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, as well as daughter Harper, 14; however, the family are allegedly not in contact with Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham after they decided to skip his father’s 50th birthday in May.
