Spice Girls 30-Year Reunion Drama Canceled!

The reunion plans have reportedly been axed amid growing tensions between the girl band. 

, , , and Geri Halliwell-Horner were set to mark the band's 30th anniversary with a special project. 

But insiders have claimed Geri, 53, is on the fence whether to sign on amid growing tensions between her and Mel B, 50. 

Scary Spice was notably absent from Emma Bunton’s 50th birthday party last month, with the other three members of the band in attendance. 

Mel B was also recently missing as the other Spice Girls members reunited at Victoria's home for a low-key singalong to Viva Forever over dinner - it was later revealed she was on her honeymoon in Mauritius with husband Rory McPhee.

An insider told The Sun: 'Their fans will be devastated. The drama has been in development for years but producers wanted to work in unison with the band. It just hasn’t got to the point where the streamer has felt able to commission it.

'It doesn’t mean it won’t happen at some point in the future, but a big drive behind making the show was that it aired to celebrate the landmark anniversary.

'Now all hopes of that happening have been snuffed out.'

Suzanne Mackie, producer of royal drama The Crown, was developing the project, with a script being written by Jack Rooke, who won a Bafta for Channel 4 comedy Big Boys.

A documentary on the band, whose debut single Wannabe was released in June 1996, was also supposed to be in the works with Netflix, but that is so far unconfirmed.

Daily Mail have contacted Netflix and The Spice Girls representatives for comment.

Earlier this month, Victoria finally rejoined the Spice Girls on Instagram for a singalong after refusing to go on tour in 2019.

Amid the furore over her family fallout with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, Victoria joined the group to sing at her London home - 30 years after the band first got together.

Mel B recently said she is keen for the band to get back together and teased fans by 'liking' a comment about the prospect of a reunion.

While the ladies sang their harmony, Victoria's son Cruz strummed away on the guitar, while his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30, sat at the table and the family's personal chefs watched on through glass doors from the kitchen.

Showing the funny side of the family, son Romeo, 23, commented underneath: 'Sounds like they’ve done something like this before', to which Cruz responded: 'they kinda sound like little mix no?'.

Victoria has been dropping hints that she might do something with the band, uploading a clip of herself singing a live acoustic version of one of their biggest hits.

And David Beckham, 50, appears to have caught Spice Mania as he posted a love heart to his wife on the new video, which comes after it was revealed that Brooklyn has removed tattoo tributes to his parents, including the word 'Dad' on his arm.

The ladies have been teasing the fact that something is in the pipeline for some time.

Mel C appeared on Good Morning America in November to promote her ninth album Sweat and was grilled if the Spice Girls would come back together.

Crossing her fingers, she said: 'I remain optimistic. It's our thirtieth anniversary next year. We toured in 2019, we did a few stadium shows in the UK and it was incredible.

'We're just so proud of the legacy that we have and we have fans now from new generations are just loving the Spice Girls so I would like to get back on stage with the girls.

'We're talking and we're seeing what opportunities are out there. The thing that stops us is we feel so precious about it, we want to make sure it's the right thing and agree on the right thing.'

Mel also admitted she will always pine for another Spice Girls reunion, this time with Victoria included.

She said: 'It was the most beautiful experience as a Spice Girl. I think because so much time had passed that we were all very present and really could appreciate what this thing meant to so many people.'

'It was such a joyous experience. We were just able to take it in for the first time and enjoy every minute. I feel emotional because I'd love to do it again.'

Mel B also teased a major Spice Girls comeback - after Victoria surged to No.1 in the charts with the 2001 song Not Such An Innocent Girl, amid the fallout from her son Brooklyn's brutal statement.

Scary Spice was seen liking a clip about the band getting back together.

The clip was a segment from the Shouldn't Laugh But… podcast where host Laura Smyth suggested Victoria could divert attention away from the 'PR disaster' of her son's statement by getting the group back together.

Fans saw Mel B's like as a signal that there may be plans for a Spice Girls reunion in the works after years of rumours.

Speaking directly to Victoria, Laura said in the podcast clip: 'There is only one way on this earth you will ever come back from this PR disaster.

'Three words. Spice Girls reunion. It will eclipse it all and I want you there. I don't want four of them. I want all five.'

Mel B and Geri are said to have had an ugly falling out which has scuppered new projects.

Reports emerged in 2024 that Geri has derailed a huge TV drama deal which would have netted each of the five members £1million each.

Sources had said that the 'nightmare' fallout between Geri and Mel B left the band unable to find a manager capable of 'mediating' to push projects over the line.

The feud began when Mel confessed she had a lesbian fling with Geri during the band's 90s heyday on Piers Morgan's chat show in 2019.

Geri denied the affair took place, with Mel accused of dreaming it up to sell copies of her tell-all memoir, Brutally Honest.

Victoria had previously maintained that she would not join the band again, insisting her fashion career was her focus and reiterating that being in the Spice Girls was just a mere four years of her life.

Discussing her decision not to join the ladies on tour in 2019, she told Vogue Germany: 'It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again.

'But to be the one who says, "You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to".'

She added: 'I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company. I’m 45 now and very happy to be the woman I am…'

Victoria last performed with the band at the Olympic Opening Ceremony on August 12, 2012, after joining them for their world tour in 2007-08
