THE Spice Girls’ troubled TV drama could finally be made by Netflix — but the band have been told to make up or it may go ahead without them.
Last month The Sun revealed how attempts at developing the show with an independent company were derailed by Geri Horner.
But Netflix have taken over the reins and want to release the proposed biopic in 2026, the 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls’ debut single Wannabe.
A TV insider said: “Executives are keen to have all the group on board providing as much input as possible - after all they are pop royalty.
"But Netflix are the organisation who defied the wishes of real royalty and went ahead and made The Crown, so they aren’t afraid to go it alone when they have to.
“The project is in its very early stages so there’s plenty of time to get all five Spice Girls involved.
"But they have to work with each other, and with the producers, to make it happen.”

She is one of the most acclaimed and powerful execs in the drama world — working on The Crown, plus films including Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots.
Suzanne has spent the past six months in talks with the Spice Girls, who have not performed as a five-piece since 2012.
Geri, who left the band in 1998, has recently been seen with a camera crew alongside her F1 boss husband Christian Horner.
