Pop sensation S Club 7 is reportedly in advanced talks with Netflix to create a gripping documentary that will delve into the band's tumultuous journey, including former member Jon Lee's shocking revelation about his battle with crystal meth addiction.
The documentary, if greenlit, promises to be an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of one of Britain's most beloved pop groups, who dominated the charts in the late 90s and early 2000s.
The Rise and Fall of S Club 7
Formed in 1998, S Club 7 quickly rose to fame with their infectious pop tunes and hit TV series Miami 7. The group, consisting of Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt, and Rachel Stevens, became household names with their feel-good music and wholesome image.
However, behind the scenes, the band faced numerous challenges, including creative differences, management disputes, and personal struggles that ultimately led to their split in 2003.
Jon Lee's Shocking Admission
One of the most anticipated revelations in the potential documentary is Jon Lee's candid discussion about his addiction to crystal meth during the band's heyday. The former pop star has previously spoken about how the pressure of fame led him down a dangerous path of substance abuse.
"I was in a very dark place," Lee admitted in a past interview. "The lifestyle, the pressure - it all became too much, and I turned to drugs as a way to cope."
Netflix's Music Documentary Success
Netflix has seen considerable success with music documentaries in recent years, including hits like Taylor Swift: Miss Americana and Britney vs Spears. A S Club 7 documentary would likely attract both nostalgic fans and new audiences curious about the realities of pop stardom.
While neither Netflix nor the band members have officially confirmed the project, sources suggest negotiations are well underway, with filming potentially beginning early next year.
