The five ultimate celebrity documentaries to binge on Netflix
Victoria Beckham (Nadia Hallgren, 2025)
As one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2025, Victoria Beckham on Netflix simply doesn’t disappoint. The streaming giant had long been fanning the flames of the three-part docuseries, which explores her rise from pop star dominance to the cutthroat world of fashion and couture. On the surface level, Victoria Beckham on Netflix is a tell-all tale of becoming.
But when you dive too deep, you’ll find an ambitious girl from England who never turned back on her dreams, pushing each and every boundary to become the name and brand on every girl’s lip and wardrobe.
Beckham (Fisher Stevens, 2023)
While Victoria Beckham on Netflix turns the spotlight on the Spice Girls-turned-fashion-messiah, Beckham pans the camera on the man she fell in love with, the legendary football player David Beckham. The four-part docu-series revolves around the incredible journey of Beckham from his humble beginnings in East London to his ascent as a Manchester United star.
Beckham features exclusive, never-before-seen interviews with his fellow players, friends, wife, and family members, offering viewers a glimpse of his domestic life and time on the football pitch.
HOMECOMING: A Film by Beyoncé (Beyoncé and Ed Burke, 2018)
Beyoncé is a name we all know too well. From playlists to Billboard charts, she always remains a mainstay. However, in 2018, she made history as the first Black woman to headline the Coachella music festival, documented in HOMECOMING: A Film by Beyoncé.
Co-directed by Beyoncé and Ed Burke, the documentary concert film gives a thorough insight into the months leading up to the actual event, complete with planning, rehearsals, and interviews with the pop star herself. The film was released on April 17th, 2019, with an accompanying live album, and the film eventually went on to win the ‘Best Music Film’ award at the Grammy Awards. So, this celebrity documentary marathon is practically music to your ears.
Miss Americana (Lana Wilson, 2020)
No matter how much you talk about Taylor Swift, it feels less. Instead, you can always watch Miss Americana on Netflix, which gives a revealing look at the songstress’s most evolutionary phase: her turnaround from the country music genre to her rise in the pop world. Set amidst the period of her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018 to the release of her seventh studio album ‘Lover,’ Miss Americana gives a detailed insight into the making of her musical genius and creative processes.
The documentary relies on interviews with her go-to composers, Joel Little, Jack Antonoff, and Max Martin, also offering fans a trip down memory lane to her childhood and upbringing.
Harry & Meghan (Liz Garbus, 2022)
To wrap up the celebrity documentary marathon, we have a royal love story, that of the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex, Harry & Meghan. The six-part documentary gives viewers a unique and intimate look into their dreamy relationship, starting from the early period of their dating to the difficulties that made them step down from their roles as the working members of the royal family.
Harry & Meghan features exclusive documentaries with their friends, family members, and, of course, journalists, who give viewers an idea of how their relationship is portrayed in the headlines. While the documentary made a lot of buzz during the time of its release, even if you’re new to it, this will bring a revealing new experience.
