So girlies, the year is almost ending and it's been, well.... bittersweet to say the least!

Mel C did gigs in pretty much every Western festival going, DJed at every opportunity that paid her a check and started to finally release music and planning gigs for next year.

Emma is seemingly more involved with HeartFM than ever and has started a mediocre podcast with her husband and friends... Mel B is back in America's Got Talent and has done some presenting gigs and charity work. Gerita has avoided more scandals about her husband and released the latest Rosie Frost book in the series. Victoria continued to grow her fashion and beauty brands and even released a documentary on Netflix.

Technically, at least publicly, they seem to be more apart than ever, professionally....

HOWEVER, we seem to have big (but vague) promises of what might be coming next year for both the group and solo projects, related to music and more. So in light of what we did last year, lets figure out what the plan might be for the year 2026, shall we???

SPICE GIRLS

It is the 30th anniversary of Wannabe, Say You'll Be There, the Spice album and 2 Become 1. Seemingly, they seem to mostly be hinting at some sort of group related activities being in the planning stages right now.

What we know:

  • Management: Simon Fuller was spotted at Mel B's wedding and there have been various planted rumours they are back working with him and XIX Management

  • Touring:

    • Every week there seems to be a rumour of them planning one, then next week rumours of them not doing it, then of some of them being a stumbling block.

    • Both Mel C and Mel B hinted at reunions and plans being afoot. Mel C has clarified that a 'tour is what she would want to do but that' something they cant promise right now'

    • Victoria has hinted she would be tempted but this feels very much like a plug to her Netflix documentary, to continue to get her profile out there during the promo run for that.

    • Emma has been totally quiet on this front

    • Geri posted an IG video, during the release of Rosie Frost latest book, where she talked about 'what she used to do before' seemingly distancing herself from the band, and she has not said anything at all about the band (to my knowlege) and has kept her profile low since then.

    • Since Mel C is announcing various live gigs in May, June and October, it is safe to say that the group wont be touring during this time. If they are to be going on tour, which is not really in the realms of possibility right now, it will be announced closer to the summer or later in the year for 2027!

  • Music: Anniversary releases for Wannabe30 and Spice30 seem certain, or at least some sort of new releases of their back catalogue are rumoured to be in the planning stages. The group keep hinting at WOMAN lyrics, in their newsletters, so maybe we might finally get more unreleased music out there?...

  • Documentary: There have been constant rumours of a documentary for Netflix being planned. It has been in the works for a while, with the team behind Netflix's acclaimed The Last Dance being tapped to do it. However, various conflicting reports - and even one claiming it is Geri blocking it - have kind of put a dent to this. Mel C says if they are to do one, it should be a celebration of their impact!

  • Netflix Drama series - Another thing that has been in the works for a while, finally getting of the ground lately, is a Drama series based on the group's history. The production and writing teams behind The Crown and Bafta-winning Big Boys creator Jack Rooke. These are big players if it turns out to be right.

MELANIE C

  • Obviously she has an album, Sweat, coming out on May 1st, and seemingly 'lots of songs' will come through beforehand. So we can expect a few singles ahead of the release.

  • She is signed on to Virgin Music Group, a subdivision of Universal, for the first time in the UK since setting up Red Girl Records. It is a distribution deal.

  • She will do a few live gigs in festivals, as well as DJ at Mardi Grass in Australia and play her biggest live show since 2000 at the iconic London Brixton Academy

  • She has a movie coming out, Girlband, where she plays a version of herself

  • She will probably be announcing more gigs and partnerships soon

GERI HALLIWELL-HORNER

  • Geri will release, as far as we know (though it hasnt been confirmed), a third book in the Rosie Frost series.

  • A few editions of her previous books in the series will be released in different languages.

  • She announced early this year that the rights to the series have been sold to a big Hollywood producer, but nothing has been confirmed publicly, but it is safe to assume that the film or series are in the early stages of production.

EMMA BUNTON

Late 2024, it was announced that Emma was signed up to WME Management in the US and back with 19 Records/Management in the UK/Europe. However, only one project has come up since then that we know of, related to this: her flop cover version of 2 Become 1. Since then, nothing. Nothing at all.

We have no knowlege at all of any other plans for 2026.

Maybe she will do more Heart FM shows? Maybe she will do a (god help us...) new series of the Unlikely Friends podcast???

No signs at all that she is doing any solo music at all either....................

MELANIE B

It is kind of save to assume she will do another season of America's Got Talent. It pays her really hell and she seems to love it. She also does the most random presenting gigs possible, so it is also safe to say she will do more of those too to keep the bills coming in...

She teased a couple of months back that she was gagging to get back in the studio, but nothing has been even teased since then...

VICKY BEX

Definitely more fashion label seasons and beauty company product releases. It seems like she is doing well there and she wont mess that up!

WHAT ABOUT US??

Out of this, what do you wish will happen?

And what do you think will actually happen?

What are your expectations and wants for 2026?

    Geri rejoins Spice Girls after quitting in 2019!! Victoria joins too and they release a newly recorded version og W.O.M.A.N

  • Looking at how the past few years have gone and expecting… well, not much, my only hope for 2026 is that no one kicks the bucket 😅… or that I don’t before we finally get the studio version of W.O.M.A.

I want Melanie C to do amazing with the album and a five piece reunion in summer

Spice Girls-wise, I think:

  • Documentary will be released. I think it is in motion.

  • Spice30 new vinyl and some other variants. It will include one more unreleased track as a bonus only

  • Wannabe30 - no new vinyl, just a celebration digital release or something like that

  • No tour. I don't see it happening, sorry. Unless Gerita changes her mind and they do some live shows, it is not happening. If it does, they will announce around the 30th anniversary of Spice.

  • They will probably do some more adverts to go with the promotion of the 30th anniversary.

  • Bunch of merch as well...

Solo Spices:

I predict that Melanie C will sell around roughly the same as she did with her last album, probably a bit more since she will have wider distribution/more promo with a major label... around 8,000 copies! She will eventually sell out the Brixton Academy and do some more summer festivals to promote the album.

She will release 3 more singles before the album. I'm a bit surprised she started so early with Sweat, it could probably be better received in like January/February. But alas...

I would want Emma to do more music but I also don't see it happening. The Unlikely Friends podcast was such a meh project and a waste of time. She seems to be back in a bit of a rut with her music again after that awful 2 Become 1 cover and the KPOPPED ones. I fear she has kind of lost it with her creativity...

Geri will do another Rosie Frost book but I don't think much more will come from it. The last one seemed to come and go and she has gone real quiet about it as well. There have been no rumours of any behind-the-scenes workings on the movie or anything like that either, that we know of... The books got to the New York Times Best Seller list for 1 week but seemingly nothing more than that... it certainly didnt even get the Young Adults charts in the UK either, and both had a lot of promo...

Mel B... I don't know... maybe some more TV shows...

Geri

I'm not sure if the third book about Rosie Frost is ready. Maybe it will be released in 2027?

If so, I don't know what else she could do.

Emma

It would be great if she returned to making music.I would even settle for a Christmas album.

It would also be time for her to publish a biography. She will definitely continue with radio.

Melanie C

With the release of the album, I hope she announces a proper tour. I've never been a fan of her DJ career.

Fortunately, she's the only one who continues to make music.

Mel B

I would love for her to return to music with a few singles, but in the meantime, she has already filmed a new talent show with Cowell, which is set to air in 2026.

Victoria

I don't expect anything from her. She'll continue with fashion.

Spice Girls

I don't think they'll be back on tour in 2026. I hope they'll release some unreleased tracks from their archives instead.

Have you girlies seen the latest online buzz set by Mel C and Victoria about them performing at The Sphere in Vegas??

The latest clip going viral is Mel C hinting at the possibility of it??

What do we think girlies, are we about to see the 5 girls back together for a residency at The Sphere or is this just Mel C and Victoria drumming up online algorythms so people see it and check out their solo projects as well?

ALSO... we do we really really want a The Sphere residency? 🥲

Looking at how the past few years have gone and expecting… well, not much, my only hope for 2026 is that no one kicks the bucket 😅… or that I don’t before we finally get the studio version of W.O.M.A.N 😂
