<p>&quot;We are always overwhelmed at how much interest there is across the whole world for The Spice Girls.</p>

<p>&quot;The time now feels right to explore some incredible new opportunities together.</p>

<p>&quot;We all agree that there are many exciting possibilities that will once again embrace the original essence of The Spice Girls, while reinforcing our message of feminine empowerment for future generations.&quot;</p>
