The new Beckham documentary has attracted the biggest Netflix audience of the year in Britain.

The four-part show, in which David and Victoria Beckham talk about their lives, attracted 3.8 million viewers in the week ending October 8.

This made it the most watched streaming giant in Britain since Harry & Meghan in December 2022, with almost 4.5 million viewers.

Beckham also beat numbers for other Netflix favorites, including the new season of Sex Education, which was released last month.

The numbers come as Netflix has looked at adding more older shows. Due to the actors’ strikes in Hollywood, rivals have signed licensing deals with Netflix to stream their shows.

This year, Warner Bros. HBO network Discovery licensed old hits like Six Feet Under and Band of Brothers. NBC Universal has also struck a deal with Netflix to stream the legal drama Suits.

Netflix said it is confident its new ad-supported, lower-cost option will generate billions of dollars in revenue streams. In Britain it costs £4.99 per month.
