On October 8, 2025, the heart of London pulsed with excitement as Netflix rolled out the red carpet for the world premiere of its latest docuseries, Victoria Beckham. The event, held in the city’s bustling West End, was more than just a glitzy affair—it was a celebration of Victoria Beckham’s remarkable journey from global pop sensation to acclaimed fashion mogul. With the docuseries set to debut globally on Netflix on October 9, anticipation reached fever pitch, drawing an impressive crowd of celebrities, family, and fans eager to witness the next chapter in the Beckham legacy.
According to Getty Images coverage, the premiere was a star-studded spectacle. Victoria Beckham graced the carpet alongside her husband, football legend David Beckham, and their children Cruz, Romeo, and Harper. The family’s presence radiated unity and style, with each member donning tailored ensembles that nodded to Victoria’s fashion credentials. Yet, one name was conspicuously missing from the guest list: Brooklyn Beckham, Victoria and David’s eldest son.
The absence of Brooklyn Beckham didn’t go unnoticed. As reported by Are Media, Brooklyn, who has often been a fixture at major family events, was not seen at the premiere. His wife, actress Nicola Peltz Beckham, was also missing from the London festivities. This gap in the family lineup instantly fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship with the rest of the Beckhams—a topic that’s lingered in the public consciousness since Brooklyn’s high-profile wedding to Nicola in 2022.
Rumors of a rift have swirled for years, with tabloids and social media users dissecting every public appearance—or lack thereof. The speculation intensified when it was revealed that Nicola chose not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed gown for her wedding, a decision some interpreted as a snub. Still, the family has consistently denied any discord, maintaining a united front in interviews and public statements. Despite these denials, Brooklyn’s absence from significant family gatherings—Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show, family holidays, and even Brooklyn and Nicola’s own vow renewal ceremony in the summer of 2025—has kept the rumor mill churning.
So, with Victoria Beckham set to stream worldwide, fans and observers alike have been asking: will Brooklyn and Nicola appear in the documentary, and what might their presence—or absence—reveal about the family dynamic?
As Are Media notes, the answer is nuanced. While Brooklyn and Nicola do make brief appearances in the docuseries, their roles are fleeting. They are spotted in the background during one scene at Victoria’s 2024 Paris Fashion Week show, and Brooklyn is seen in archival footage from his childhood. There’s also a moment where he’s shown assisting backstage during a fashion event, hinting at his continued, if understated, involvement in family affairs. But notably, Brooklyn does not feature prominently in the trailer, even as his siblings are shown in various family moments. In one poignant scene, Victoria says, “I want my kids and David to be proud,” as the camera lingers on David, Harper, and Cruz sitting front row. Romeo appears in a separate backstage hug with Victoria, but Brooklyn is absent from both.
This selective visibility has only deepened curiosity about the family’s current state. At the London premiere, the rest of the Beckham family presented a united front. Victoria, ever the style icon, dazzled in a sleek ensemble, while David exuded his trademark charm. Their children—Romeo, Cruz, and Harper—joined their parents, posing for photos and mingling with guests. Spice Girls Emma Bunton and Melanie C, longtime friends and former bandmates of Victoria, also attended, lending a nostalgic air to the proceedings. Hollywood actress Eva Longoria, another close friend, was spotted on the carpet, as were a host of other celebrities including Richard E. Grant and Isabela Grutman.
The glitzy arrivals, captured by Getty Images, painted a picture of a family and friend group at the pinnacle of British celebrity culture. Yet, for those paying close attention, the missing faces told a story all their own. Brooklyn’s absence was particularly pronounced considering his past attendance at major family milestones, including David Beckham’s own Netflix documentary premiere in 2023—a project that, as Are Media recalled, generated endless headlines and memes, cementing the Beckhams’ status as cultural icons.
Despite the ongoing speculation, the docuseries itself focuses primarily on Victoria’s personal and professional evolution. From her meteoric rise as a Spice Girl to her reinvention as a fashion designer, the series promises a candid look at the woman behind the headlines. It tracks her journey through archival footage, backstage glimpses at Paris Fashion Week, and personal reflections on fame, family, and ambition. For longtime fans, it’s a chance to revisit the highs and lows of Victoria’s storied career; for newcomers, it’s an introduction to one of Britain’s most influential style figures.
Netflix, for its part, has pulled out all the stops to ensure the docuseries gets the attention it deserves. The streaming giant’s decision to host the premiere in London underscores Victoria’s enduring influence on both sides of the Atlantic. With the global launch scheduled for October 9, viewers from every corner of the world will soon be able to stream the series and draw their own conclusions about the Beckham family dynamic.
Of course, the question of Brooklyn’s relationship with the rest of the family remains unresolved—at least publicly. The documentary offers only glimpses, leaving viewers to interpret what they will. As the series drops, fans will no doubt scour every frame for insight, hoping to spot signs of reconciliation or lingering tension. But if there’s one thing the Beckhams have proven over the decades, it’s their ability to captivate and confound in equal measure.
For now, the spotlight remains firmly on Victoria. As she walked the red carpet on October 8, surrounded by her closest family and friends, she embodied the resilience and reinvention that have defined her career. Whether as a pop icon, a designer, or a mother navigating the complexities of fame, Victoria Beckham continues to command attention—and, with the release of her Netflix docuseries, she’s inviting the world to take another look at the woman behind the brand.
