The former footballer who played for huge clubs such as Manchester United, PSG, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and is currently the owner of MLS side Inter Miami, will expose his humble working-class beginnings in East London, and the drive and determination that led him to become one of the most recognisable and scrutinised athletes of all time in the new programme.
It will feature a mixture of never-before-seen personal archive footage from the last forty years as well as interviews with David himself, his family and friends, and key figures who have been part of his journey both on and off the pitch.
The project is helmed by Academy Award-winner Fisher Stevens who serves as director and executive producer, along with Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning producer John Battsek.
David is producing the project with his TV company Studio 99, which launched in 2019, in association with Ventureland.

The ex Manchester United player wrote in a Wednesday Instagram post: ‘I’m excited to confirm that I am partnering with @Netflix on a documentary series about my life and career.
‘The series will feature unseen archive, untold stories as well as interviews with the people who have been a part of my journey. The series is directed and produced by Academy Award winners @fisherstevens and John Battsek. Watch this space… @studio99.’
He was reportedly inspired by the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance, which began streaming on the platform in 2020.
The untitled series is in production now, from Oscar-winning director Fisher Stevens (The Cove) and Emmy-winning producer John Battsek (Searching for Sugar Man). The doc will examine Beckham’s life from his working-class roots in East London to his career as one of the most iconic and successful football (in England, they call it football, and they laugh at us for doing otherwise) players of all time.
