David Beckham is back to doing what he does best, taking the world of sport and pop culture by storm. But this time, rather than as a global soccer phenomenon or as owner of MLS side Inter Miami, it’s as the subject of a four-part, Netflix limited documentary series.
BECKHAM chronicles not only the superstar’s marriage to Spice Girls star Victoria Adams and his iconic rise at Manchester United and the stardom that followed him to Madrid and Los Angeles, but also the laying of a foundation for the modern-day soccer star as a brand.
In all, it took documentary filmmaker Fisher Stevens—also known for his role as Hugo Baker in the HBO series Succession as well as his producing credits on Tiger King and the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove—two years from start to finish. Now, it’s debuted with 12.4 million views since its release last week as the next great sports documentary.
