More than two decades after Bend It Like Beckham first inspired a generation of female footballers, a sequel to the smash hit is in the works, the film’s director has said.
Speaking in Basel on the eve of England’s Euro 2025 final against Spain, Gurinder Chadha OBE revealed that a follow‑up is in development, with a target release in 2027 to mark both the film’s 25th anniversary and the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil. The format, whether a feature film or television series, has yet to be decided.
