After rising to fame with the Spice Girls in the 1990s, Victoria successfully reinvented herself in the fashion world, launching her own fashion label in 2008.
Her eponymous brand, which is sold in shops around the world, sells products including clothes, bags and eyewear.
David Beckham has already had the Netflix treatment in a four-part series about his rise to football stardom which came out late last year.
Titled Beckham, that series made headlines after Victoria broke her silence on David’s alleged affair in 2003.
David has always denied the claims.
The couple, who married in 1999, recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary by recreating their purple wedding look.
They have gone on to become something of a brand, with David branching into business after his sporting and modelling career.
