The Sun claims that the designer, 49, has been approached to star in a series that will document her life from its humble beginnings, to her fame in the Spice Girls through to her starting her own fashion and beauty empire.
A source told the paper: “This will be a documentary exploring Victoria’s meteoric rise in the fashion world; how she’s built a fashion and beauty empire from scratch.
“The focus will very much be on the business brand, but will detail how she had to overcome the naysayers post-Spice Girls and defied the cynics.
“At times her journey wasn’t easy, and there will be blood, sweat and tears look behind the scenes at the sheer graft she has put into reinventing herself.
“Off the back of David’s success, and how well she came across, people will also see, in depth, her wit and sarcasm.
“Of course there will be some personal life elements and David, and her celebrity pals, will feature in the background.
“It’s early days but everyone is very excited about this production.”
The four-part docuseries Beckham was released on October 4 and has been at the top of Netflix’s global chart since its release. The smash hit series been streamed in 25 million households so far.
After her pop career as a member of the Spice Girls, Victoria launched her eponymous fashion brand in 2008. Her dresses have been worn by celebrities like Amy Adams and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Beckham docuseries looked at Victoria and David’s relationship of over 25 years, including the “hardest period” of their marriage when Rebecca Loos claimed she had an affair with the footballer.
Ms Loos, ex-personal assistant to David, claimed he portrayed himself “as the victim” in the show.
Beckham has dismissed her claims as "ludicrous".
“He needs to take responsibility”, she told the Mail on Sunday after the release of the Bekham docuseries.
"He can say whatever he likes of course and I understand he has an image to preserve, but he is portraying himself as the victim and he’s making me look like a liar, like I’ve made up these stories.
"He is indirectly suggesting that I’m the one who has made Victoria suffer.”
Ms Loos now lives in Norway and works as a yoga instructor.
