DAVID AND GOLIATH

Ratings for Victoria Beckham’s Docuseries Fail to Match Hubby’s

Not that it’s a competition, of course.

David Beckham has outdone his wife Victoria by doubling her viewership in the opening week of their respective docu-series. The couple has now released separate shows about their lives on Netflix. However, Beckham was more popular with viewers compared with Posh Spice’s Victoria Beckham. According to data acquired by Deadline, Posh garnered 1.7 million U.K. viewers for her first episode during the first week it aired. The former soccer star however was leagues ahead with 3.8 million U.K. viewers in the first seven days after his series was released back in 2023. Deadline was citing “official BARB figures supplied by overnights.tv.” Victoria’s three-part show premiered on October 9. Episode two received 1.3 million views, while the finale gained one million views. Both of these numbers are expected to grow. While her documentary was one of the platform’s biggest of the year, it fell behind Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story, which came out in May and raked in 2.2 million views in its first week.
