According to Official Charts, Alisa Pomeroy, Channel 4 Commissioning Editor Documentaries said, "The idea of using the story of the supremely popular and mould-breaking Spice Girls to make a multi-layered social history series was too good to pass up. The Spice Girls mirrored and influenced a generation of women and now, nearly 30 years since their formation, their story sheds light on the coming of age of modern feminism in ways we can fully appreciate for the first time."

Channel 4 are yet to confirm a release date for Girl Powered: The Spice Girls.
