Reports emerged in November that Geri backed out of a huge Netflix biopic that would have netted each of the five members £1million each .
According to The Sun, the streaming service has told the band to make up otherwise, much like controversial drama The Crown, it will make the show without any input from the people featured in it.
A source said: 'Executives are keen to have all the group on board providing as much input as possible - after all they are pop royalty.
'But Netflix are the organisation who defied the wishes of real royalty and went ahead and made The Crown, so they aren't afraid to go it alone when they have to.
'The project is in its very early stages so there's plenty of time to get all five Spice Girls involved.

The iconic girl group were thought to be at loggerheads following claims that Geri backed out of a lucrative TV deal that would have earned them a collective £5million.
In November, Geri's husband Christian Horner was forced to deny claims he was to blame for 'derailing' the band's TV project.
He told the PA news agency: 'There is a lot being written about different things, but there are absolutely no plans to do a family documentary.
'Netflix do enough, and you see enough of the behind-the-scenes on that. So where that report has come from, I have absolutely no idea.'
The feud began when Mel confessed she had a lesbian fling with Geri during the band's nineties heyday on Piers Morgan's chat show in 2019.
