David Beckham's Netflix Series Outperforms Wife Victoria's by Over 2x
17 Oct
Summary
- David Beckham's 2023 Netflix series scored over 3.8M viewers, more than double Victoria's 1.7M
- Victoria Beckham's 3-part series premiered in October 2023, with declining viewership in later episodes
- Netflix heavily marketed Victoria's series, including a London Underground takeover
In a battle of the Beckhams, it appears David has emerged victorious in the ratings race. According to the latest data, the debut episode of David Beckham's 2023 Netflix series attracted over 3.8 million viewers in the UK, more than double the 1.7 million who tuned in for the first installment of Victoria Beckham's three-part series that premiered on the platform in October 2023.
Despite Netflix's efforts to promote Victoria's show, including a takeover of the London Underground's Victoria line, her series has failed to match the viewership success of her husband's previous documentary. The second episode of Victoria's series generated an audience of nearly 1.3 million, while the finale had just 1 million viewers at the time of writing.
While these figures are expected to grow over time, and Netflix has its own internal metrics to determine the series' success, the stark contrast in viewership between the two Beckham projects suggests that the public remains more captivated by David's story. As the Beckham household continues to navigate the limelight, it seems that when it comes to drawing in Netflix audiences, the former soccer star still holds the upper hand.
