July 31
1h 12m

Episode Description

The Spice Girls have spent 25 years almost getting back together. In this POP 101 finale, we break down the quiet end of the group, the R&B pivot, the scrapped third album, and “Forever”, the 2000 album that ended their imperial run. Then every reunion since: the 2007 Return of the Spice Girls tour, the 2012 Olympics (the last time all five performed together), the Viva Forever musical, the 2019 Spice World tour without Victoria, and Geri's emotional Wembley apology.
