- Netflix is in production on a documentary series about global football star David Beckham.

- The project is helmed by Academy Award-winner Fisher Stevens (PALMER, And We Go Green, The Cove) who serves as director and executive producer, along with Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning producer John Battsek (One Day in September, Searching for Sugar Man, Winter on Fire).
- Production Companies: Studio 99 in association with Ventureland.
- Edited by Chris King (Senna, Amy), Bjorn Johnson (Don’t F**k With Cats, Bad Sport) Cinematography by Tim Cragg (Three Identical Strangers, Billie).
