Overview
- Melanie Chisholm told the Louis Theroux podcast this week that the Spice Girls now “fully own” the 1997 film Spice World and that they plan to make it available on streaming services in the not‑too‑distant future, a development described as ongoing by reporters.
- The band has had the film re‑edited, with several outlets reporting that the cameo by disgraced performer Gary Glitter has been removed as part of the repackaging.
- Mel C stressed there is currently no confirmed full reunion, saying the five members are talking and considering anniversary activities but have not set plans for a tour or joint performances.
- In interviews tied to the film news, Mel C revisited internal moments that shaped the group, including a near‑dismissal after a 1996 BRIT Awards row with Victoria Beckham and discomfort over Geri Halliwell’s 1996 praise of Margaret Thatcher.
- The move ends a long period in which fragmented rights kept Spice World off streaming platforms, and it could give fans renewed access to the film during the 30th anniversary year while letting the group control how their legacy is presented.
