As Victoria Beckham fine-tunes the final stitches on her highly anticipated Netflix docuseries, set to premiere on October 9, a fresh wave of heartbreak has crashed into her meticulously curated world. The former Spice Girl turned fashion titan, 51, has poured her soul into the three-part series—titled simply *Victoria Beckham*—offering an unfiltered glimpse into her evolution from pop sensation to haute couture powerhouse. Directed by Nadia Hallgren (*Becoming*) and produced by David Beckham’s Studio 99, the intimate project chronicles her relentless drive, from restyling school uniforms in ’90s suburbia to battling the fashion elite for legitimacy. But just as the trailer—featuring tearful confessions and David’s cheeky toast-making pep talk—dropped to rapturous buzz, a bombshell from her eldest son, Brooklyn, 26, has left her “nearly shattered,” sources whisper. His secret vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham on August 2, excluding the entire Beckham clan, has not only deepened a year-long family rift but thrown the docuseries’ promotional blueprint into chaos. “This was supposed to be her triumphant moment,” an insider tells *People*. “Now, every interview feels like a minefield.”

The docuseries, a spiritual successor to the Emmy-winning *Beckham* that captivated 15 million households in 2023, promises “warts-and-all” candor. Filmed during the frenetic buildup to her 2024 Paris Fashion Week show—the most ambitious of her career, blending ready-to-wear with experimental beauty lines—*Victoria Beckham* weaves archival Spice Girls footage with raw atelier confessions. “People thought I was that miserable cow who never smiled,” Victoria admits in the trailer, her voice cracking as she reflects on the “Posh” caricature that haunted her post-band reinvention. David’s cameo, echoing their viral “be honest” banter from his series, lightens the load: “You could make a cheese and ham toasted sandwich, and we’d be proud of you,” he quips, prompting Victoria’s misty retort, “Let’s be honest, I couldn’t actually make a cheese sandwich very well.” The series spotlights her empire’s gritty underbelly—Victoria Beckham Beauty’s road to profitability amid £112.7 million in 2024 revenue, whispered boardroom battles, and the juggle of motherhood with four kids under the global glare. Cameos from Anna Wintour, Harper’s Bazaar editors, and fellow designers tease a front-row seat to resilience. Netflix Tudum hailed it as “a nuanced portrait of a woman who has continually reinvented herself,” with early screeners earning a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Yet, the shadow looming largest? Brooklyn. Once the golden child whose every milestone—from modeling gigs to his Cloud 23 hot sauce launch—mirrored his parents’ hustle, the 26-year-old photographer and aspiring chef has become the epicenter of a Beckham schism that began simmering in 2022. That year, Nicola’s infamous snub of a custom Victoria-designed wedding gown for a Valentino stunner at their £3 million Palm Beach nuptials ignited the fuse. “It wasn’t a deliberate slight,” Nicola later clarified in a *Vogue* profile, citing last-minute atelier woes. But to Victoria, it stung like a couture cut—symbolizing deeper frictions over influence, independence, and the Peltz family’s billionaire shadow (dad Nelson’s $2.7 billion empire dwarfs the Beckhams’ $450 million net worth).

Fast-forward to 2025: The estrangement escalated. Brooklyn and Nicola ghosted David’s star-studded 50th birthday bash in May, skipping the London fireworks and Elton John serenade for a low-key L.A. getaway. Victoria’s April milestone? Crickets on Instagram, breaking the family’s ritual of gushing tributes. Whispers of Romeo’s rumored fling with Nicola’s ex-model pal Kim Turnbull added sibling spice, while Brooklyn’s pointed social media silence—omitting his parents from posts—fueled “Peltz takeover” tabloid fodder. “Brooklyn’s always had a special bond with Harper,” a source lamented, referencing his niece. “Now, it’s like he’s erased them.”

The August 2 vow renewal in Westchester, New York, was the gut punch. In a sun-dappled ceremony officiated by Nelson, Nicola donned her mother Claudia’s 1985 lace gown—a vintage nod that echoed the 2022 dress drama—while Brooklyn beamed in a crisp linen suit. Attendees? Peltz kin only, plus a smattering of Nicola’s *Lola* co-stars. No David, no Victoria, no Romeo, Cruz, or Harper. The Beckhams learned via *People* magazine, mid-yacht idyll off Tuscany. “His grandparents are devastated—Brooklyn’s always been so close to them,” an insider revealed to *Hola!*. Brooklyn later gushed to the outlet: “A really beautiful experience… I could renew every day with her.” But the exclusion? “A formal declaration he’s quit the family,” *Daily Mail* opined, with Victoria “heartbroken” and David “furious but silent.”

For the docuseries, the fallout is seismic. Producers envisioned family cameos as emotional anchors—think Brooklyn toasting Mom’s grit, mirroring David’s tender support. Now? Zilch. “Unlikely to feature Brooklyn and Nicola, who are increasingly estranged,” *Variety* noted pre-release, a line that’s ballooned into a narrative black hole. Promo plans—red carpets at Paris Fashion Week, *The Graham Norton Show* spots, Netflix junkets—loom like interrogations. “She’s dreading the questions: ‘Where’s Brooklyn?'” the source says. Radar Online reports Victoria’s “at her wits’ end,” mulling a Meghan Markle-esque Oprah sit-down as “ultimate revenge,” airing grievances on Nicola’s “eclipsing” tactics. X is ablaze: #BeckhamFeud trends with 1.4 million posts, fans split between “Let Brooklyn live!” and “Family first—Nicola’s the villain.” Brooklyn broke his silence at the Ryder Cup All-Star match on September 24, brushing off “rubbish” rumors: “Everyone gets along… We’re happy.”

David, ever the diplomat, has jetted to L.A. for olive-branch visits, but sources say Nicola’s “lack of respect” irks Victoria most. “David’s keen to mend; she’s wounded,” the insider adds. As *Victoria Beckham* hurtles toward drop, the irony bites: A series on reinvention, upended by the family she built it for. Will Brooklyn tune in? “He’s supportive from afar,” a pal claims. But in Beckham lore, where Posh’s poker face hides oceans of feels, this rift may rewrite the script entirely. As one X user quipped: “From Spice to slice—family drama’s the real runway.” For Victoria, October 9 isn’t just a premiere; it’s a pivot point—tears, triumphs, and perhaps, a prodigal son’s return.
