Netflix has unveiled five upcoming documentary titles, including series about Victoria Beckham, Gordon Ramsay and the boy band Take That.

The Victoria Beckham docuseries will offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her business, family and fashion journey through never-before-seen archival material and access to her and those closest to her. It is being produced by Studio 99 and Dorothy St Pictures.

Also coming to the streamer is Studio Ramsay Global’s Being Gordon Ramsay, a series about the titular multi-Michelin-starred British chef and restaurateur. It will follow him over 9 months in the lead-up to his biggest restaurant venture to date: the opening of five culinary experiences in London’s 22 Bishopsgate. It will feature exclusive access to the Ramsay family, as Gordon balances his work commitments with his life as a husband and father.

A documentary about the U.K. boy band Take That is also on the way, providing access to Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen and featuring interviews with Jason Orange and Robbie Williams to give unprecedented insight into one of the most successful British bands. Fulwell 73 Productions is producing the series.

Netflix also revealed 7/7: Hunting the London Bombers, telling the story of one of the most devastating terror attacks on British soil that led to three weeks of panic, paranoia and manhunts. On July 7, 2005, four bombs exploded in London, killing 52 people and injuring more than 700. The multi-perspective series will track the weeks that followed, through unseen archival material and exclusive interviews with survivors, family members, investigators, intelligence services and others close to the events. It is being produced by The Garden, part of ITV Studios.

The fifth new documentary series coming to Netflix is Matchroom: The Greatest Showmen (w.t.), from Box to Box. It will get up close and personal with one of the biggest sports promoters in the world. Matchroom is home to the biggest names in sport, from snooker to darts to fishing to boxing. The series will dive into the drama of the family empire through access to Barry Hearn, his son Eddie and the whole Matchroom team at the Essex-based headquarters.
