The docuseries will reportedly premiere in 2021 to honor the 25th anniversary of the release of the Spice Girls' hit single "Wannabe."
The Spice Girls, consisting of Mel B, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham, made their debut as a group in 1994. The band released two albums, Spice (1996) and Spiceworld (1997), and a film, Spice World: The Movie (1997), before Halliwell's departure in 1998.
Following Halliwell's exit, the Spice Girls released a third album, Forever, in 2000. The group began an indefinite hiatus in 2001 but has since reunited on several occasions, including a reunion tour, sans Beckham, in 2019.
