Meghan Markle Urged to Save Netflix Partnership
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Meghan Markle should strike up a different kind of deal with Netflix in the hope of saving her relationship with the streaming giant as a TV producer, a culture expert told Newsweek. Prince Harry and Meghan signed a five-year deal in September 2020 to make shows for Netflix and the contract is due to expire this September. It has not currently been renegotiated and The Sun and People both reported Netflix is planning to bring the partnership to an end. Meghan Markle collects honey from her beehives during filming for her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan" which broadcast in March 2025. Meghan Markle collects honey from her beehives during filming for her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan" which broadcast in March 2025. COURTESY OF NETFLIX Why It Matters That, however, might be more complicated than it sounds as Netflix is an equity partner in her online shop, As Ever, where she sells wine and produce including jam and flower sprinkles. Her latest Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, was designed to help market As Ever, meaning canning the series could damage the commercial success of her company, which Netflix makes money from. It is, of course, also possible that Netflix will renegotiate the deal after all when the time comes. What to Know Brand and culture expert Nick Ede told Newsweek the upcoming second season of With Love, Meghan, expected in the fall, could be make or break for the couple's chances of keeping a Netflix deal of some kind. However, he also said there is another option available for both sides: "What a lot of studios do is something called a first look deal where she gets to come up with her ideas and they get the first look. "Which means they have that almost exclusivity and there's a little bit of a relationship between the two parties. "It's really important for her to get her brand across and with As Ever, it was the perfect way to have the two together but we know that social media can be really great too. "She might go and do a YouTube series and YouTube is the most watched thing on the planet. There are other avenues for her but from an optics point of view and a success point of view, I suspect she would want to be in a renewed relationship with Netflix because they have powered her and her husband in massive way over the last five years." If Meghan and Harry do part ways with Netflix, they could try to pitch to other networks, though a prime contact in the TV industry may be about to bow out of his current role. Deadline reports Brian Robbins, co-chief executive of Paramount Global, is due to leave his role after a merger with Skydance. It is, of course, entirely possible Robbins could still put in a good word for Meghan even after his departure but being Montecito neighbors with the co-CEO would have certainly been a helping hand. "There's an opportunity here for her to shop herself around to other networks," Ede said. "She could talk to Hulu or she could talk to Disney because she's obviously been tied down to this deal. "She has the next season of With Love, Meghan coming out so I think all eyes will be on that and whether it does well from a numbers point of view and a PR point of view. "So that may be where Netflix decide to either keep her and say look we're going to commission another season or they might decide we don't actually want to do anything with you at the moment." Netflix's Stake in As Ever As an equity partner, Netflix is entitled to a cut of As Ever's profits but past statements from chief executive Ted Sarandos suggest he is also planning to use the company as a test case for a wider expansion into merchandise. "I think Meghan is underestimated in terms of her influence on culture," he told Variety in March. "When we dropped the trailer for the Harry & Meghan doc series [their December 2022 biopic], everything on-screen was dissected in the press for days. "The shoes she was wearing sold out all over the world. The Hermès blanket that was on the chair behind her sold out everywhere in the world." "People are fascinated with Meghan Markle," he said. "She and Harry are overly dismissed." And he hinted he had plans to use As Ever to learn lessons for Netflix's wider expansion when he said: "We're a passive partner in Meghan's company, and it's a big discovery model for us right now." Ede said: "They would probably keep the stake in the brand because they've actually developed that brand with her and its important to keep that relationship. "I don't think they would want to cut their noses off to spite their faces but if they don't renew their TV shows, they will just be getting revenue stream from her shop. "They've invested a lot into that so they will want to see a return, a massive return. My gut feeling is they will do a first look deal with her. "They will look at the numbers for the new season and see if that does relate to sales, because that's what this is really about. People aren't going to subscribe to Netflix to watch the next Meghan show so that's done for them from that point of view." What Happens Next Season 2 of With Love, Meghan has already been filmed, alongside Season 1, Netflix confirmed. According to People, it is due to be released in the fall.

Rory McIlroy Issues Clear Message on What PGA Tour Must Learn From LIV Golf
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After years of resistance, Rory McIlroy is finally leaning into the idea that LIV Golf might have gotten a few things right. The five-time major winner, once the PGA Tour's loudest critic of the renegade league, has softened his stance in recent months. From joking around with Bryson DeChambeau on the set of "Happy Gilmore 2" to openly admitting he and others should have been "more open-minded" about the PGA-LIV merger, McIlroy is now urging the PGA Tour to take notes from LIV's playbook, especially when it comes to attracting younger fans.

(Photo by) More Getty Images "I think tapping into a different demographic. You know, if you talk about being a golf purist and a traditionalist, and I think that's the PGA Tour appeals to that type of golf fan," McIlroy stated on the "How Leaders Lead with David Novak" podcast. "Where LIV (Golf) appeals to a completely different demographic ... the average age of a golfer in the United States is over 60 years old. So, how can you tap into this younger demographic where hopefully they're gonna hopefully gonna watch golf for, you know, the remainder of their life?" "So, being a little more forward-thinking and having a little more vision, I think it is something that LIV (Golf) has done pretty well," McIlroy commented during his interview posted on YouTube last week. McIlroy's comments come at a time when the PGA Tour is still the most-watched golf platform globally, but LIV Golf has made undeniable waves. Though LIV Golf stopped reporting its TV ratings, claiming it has made it challenging to determine its current viewership situation. But the comparisons with the PGA Tour show a significant gap. According to reports from the PGA Tour averaged 3.1 million viewers on CBS/NBC during head-to-head Sundays in May, while LIV pulled in just 175,000 on FOX/FS1/FS2. Even during LIV's best weekend, Miami in April, reports suggest the league's 484K viewers were dwarfed by the PGA Tour's 1.7 million for the Valero Texas Open. Still, McIlroy believes the disruption was a necessary wake-up call for the PGA Tour. "They've definitely been a disruptor in the game of golf, he told Novak as quoted. "Sometimes things need a shakeup and if anything, I think it was a bit of a wake-up call for the PGA Tour to maybe focus a little bit more on the future." He didn't shy away from criticizing LIV Golf's format, calling out the 54-hole structure, shotgun starts and team element, that he thinks still needs But at the same time, acknowledged that the league had to launch with an imperfect product. McIlroy's broader message was clear that the PGA Tour must evolve or risk losing relevance. "There are so many inbuilt advantages that the PGA Tour has over LIV (Golf) ... But at the end of the day, all of that stuff goes away -- the sponsorship deals and media rights -- if people aren't willing to watch and engage with the product you're putting out there." And while he reaffirmed the PGA Tour's dominance, he also highlighted the growing desire among fans to see the best players compete together again. "A lot of people that I talk to are outside of the golf world that just enjoy watch golf, would much rather all the best players be together again," the grand slam winner stated in the podcast released after his Open Championship battle in Scotland. That sentiment is echoed by new PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp, who took office on July. Rolapp, a former NFL executive, has already emphasized the importance of "growing the Tour" and "moving on from a position of strength". His relationship with LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil, dating back to their time at Harvard Business School, could be key in navigating future unification talks. As McIlroy put it, "We just need to see the bigger picture and try to do what's best for the game of golf." And with both sides inching toward common ground, that picture might finally be coming into focus. More Golf: PGA Tour pro goes unrecognized in 'undercover' club fitting video
