The rumoured Spice Girls TV show for Netflix has reportedly nabbed a popular British comedian and writer to create the project.
Last year, it was reported that the journey of the iconic girls group - made up of Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, and Ger Horner - will be dramatised in a tell-all biopic.
The project, from the makers of The Crown, was intended to mark 30 years since the release of their hit song, Wannabe, and is expected to air sometime next year.
Sources are now claiming Netflix has recruited Bafta-winning Big Boys creator Jack Rooke to write the drama, amid rumours that the Spice Girls are planning a reunion world tour next year.
An insider told The Sun that the reported booking is a real coup for the unconfirmed project and is a crucial element in getting the show made.
“He already has a relationship with Mel C, who’s a huge fan of his comedy Big Boys, and that could be the pivotal connection that takes things on to the next stage,” the source said.
