One documentary will offer an inside look at fashion designer Victoria Beckham’s businesses. The film will be produced by Nicola Howson and Julia Nottingham.

In addition to celebrity profiles, Netflix is tackling more serious historical subjects. One documentary will examine the 2005 7/7 London bombings, the devastating terrorist attack that killed 52 people. Produced by The Garden, part of ITV Studios, the film will explore the tragedy and its long-lasting effects. Another documentary called “Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen” will provide an intimate look at the world of top sports promoters in fields like snooker, darts, fishing and boxing. It is being made by Box to Box Productions.
Chef Gordon Ramsay is also the focus of an upcoming documentary. The film from Studio Ramsay Global, a company of Fox Entertainment, will follow Ramsay as he launches an ambitious new restaurant venture while balancing his personal life with his wife and their six children.
Netflix also announced returning seasons of shows like the Ben Whishaw and Keira Knightley political thriller “Black Doves” as well as the British version of the reality series “Love is Blind.”
The variety of subjects in Netflix’s new slate aims to appeal to different interests while showcasing emerging British talent. The documentaries offer insight into notable celebrities, history-shaping events, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of captivating industries.
