An upcoming Netflix docuseries on David and Victoria Beckham promises to 'surprise the hell out of people,' says director Fisher Stevens

• Fisher Stevens, best known for playing Hugo in "Succession," is making a documentary on David and Victoria Beckham.
• He told Insider that it will showcase the couple in a way the world has never seen them before.

Hot off the series finale of "Succession," Fisher Stevens, who played Hugo in the hit HBO show, is in London finishing up a docuseries on one of the most famous couples in the world: David and Victoria Beckham.

But Stevens believes despite the constant tabloid coverage of the two, no one really knows who they really are.

To be released by Netflix, the multi-episode documentary will delve into how David became one of the all-time great soccer players, but also give an unprecedented glimpse into his relationship with his wife. It includes never-before-seen archival footage of the two back when they were dating — him, the soccer god, and her, known for being one of the members of the hit group Spice Girls.

Stevens, who, along with acting, has been directing and producing for years, told Insider this week, after landing in London to continue production on the doc, that he will be shining a light on David and Victoria that the world has never seen before.

"I don't think anyone understands their life really and what they have gone through and the journey they have taken," he continued. "I've spent a year and a half making this, so I love it, but I think it's going to surprise the hell out of people."

Stevens received an Oscar in 2010 for producing the acclaimed documentary "The Cove," which focused on activists exposing the shocking abuses of dolphins in Japan. He was also an executive producer on the hit Netflix docuseries "Tiger King."

It's not yet known when Netflix will premiere the Beckhams docuseries.
