Victoria Beckham’s Show Struggles to Match David’s Netflix Series Ratings
Netflix recently showcased its latest series featuring Victoria Beckham, but the ratings have not met the success of her husband David Beckham’s previous documentary. David’s series, which premiered in 2023, attracted a notable audience of 3.8 million for its debut. In contrast, Victoria’s series opened with 1.7 million viewers in its first week on Netflix in the UK.
Comparing the Beckham Ratings
The three-part series starring Victoria Beckham premiered on October 9. Despite significant marketing efforts, including a London Underground Victoria line takeover, the series struggled to match the viewing figures of David’s.
- Episode one: Nearly 1.7 million viewers.
- Episode two: Approximately 1.3 million viewers.
- Finale: 1 million viewers.
Globally, the documentary has garnered 5.6 million views and topped Netflix’s most-watched list in the UK. It holds third place in the U.S. Top 10.
Performance Against Other Documentaries
Despite its achievements, Victoria Beckham’s series fell short compared to other popular Netflix documentaries. “At Home With The Furys,” for instance, debuted to 2.6 million viewers in 2023. Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story opened with 2.2 million.
Nevertheless, Victoria’s series surpassed other UK originals on Netflix this year, like “Grenfell: Uncovered” and “The Diamond Heist,” both reaching around 1 million viewers each.
Future Prospects
Netflix will continue to evaluate the series’ performance using its internal viewing metrics. The full success of Victoria’s documentary will be determined over time, though initial figures indicate David Beckham retains the upper hand in viewership within the Beckham household.
