The Spice Girls docuserie is coming (finally)

The most appreciated girlband in the history of music returns to the star of a production that will retrace all its steps: from the beginning to the last sold out tour, underlining the great social impact it had

(Photo: Wikipedia) Well yes, they are about to return. Spice Girls fans don't have to delude themselves too much, though. After the 2019 tour brought together four of the five members of the original band in a series of sold out concerts in the UK, this is not a new musical project, yet it will still be a way to celebrate the most appreciated girl band in the history of music . The British network Channel 4, in fact, has commissioned 72 Films to produce a docuserie which for now has the title (of work) Girl Powered: The Spice Girls. To make it happen: Rob Coldstream and Clare Cameron, filmmaker already behind the phenomenal documentary Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain.

The episodes that will make up the series will draw from a consistent repertoire of hundreds of hours of original images juxtaposed to new exclusive interviews, which will provide an exhaustive and unedited portrait of the musical formation that has marked a decade and beyond. The story will start from the birth of the group in the mid-90s to arrive, in fact, at the last tour, whose message of Girl power was part of a completely changed world context thanks to the #MeToo movement and the new wave of feminism. The five members of the group (Emma, ​​Geri, Mel B, Mel C and Victoria) will be told in their public and private life, above all as icons of freed, bold and successful girls.

“ The idea of using the history of popular and innovative of the Spice Girls to create a series of multi-faceted about our company was too good to pass up,” says Alisa Pomeroy's Channel 4 : “ The band has influenced a generation of women, and today – nearly 30 years after its formation – this account earns a new light thanks to the emergence of modern feminism ”.
