Spice fans can watch Posh move her entourage from England to LA.
Victoria Beckham, wife of English soccer star David Beckham, has signed a deal to star in her own US TV reality show that will chronicle her move to a new life in LA, NBC television said Wednesday.
Beckham, 32, known as Posh Spice from her days in the 1990s pop group the Spice Girls, will star in six episodes of a half-hour show about her transition from Europe to California, where her husband starts playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy team in August.
"The series will give viewers a glimpse into what makes Victoria so popular and admired as one of the most glamorous women in the world," said Kevin Reilly, the president of NBC entertainment.
"She makes news wherever she goes and our audience can now become insiders in this fascinating personal view of what being 'Posh' truly represents," Reilly said in a statement.
The show, to air in the summer, has no title as yet, and NBC declined to say how much the deal was worth. It will be produced by 19 Entertainment's Simon Fuller, the former manager of the Spice Girls and the man behind one of television's biggest hits, American Idol.
"For the past few years, I've been inundated with requests to make a show based on Victoria's real life. After much thought, we have finally decided to do it. NBC will be our partners," Fuller said.
NBC is owned by General Electric Co.
The couple will move to the US in August when David Beckham, the former England captain who now plays for Spanish club Real Madrid, begins a five-year contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team in a deal worth $250 million.
The Beckhams, who have three children, are among Britain's most talked-about celebrity couples but are less well known in the US.
