have renewed their creative partnership with a popular streaming service, extending their multi-year, first-look deal through their company, Archewell Productions. This new agreement continues the collaboration that began in 2020 with an initial five-year contract.
The renewed deal, which follows speculation about its future, gives the OTT giant the first option on new projects from the couple. Additionally, the announcement includes several upcoming projects.
Here's a closer look at the details of Meghan Markle and
Prince
Harry's multi-year deal with the OTT giant.
New deal is scaled back?
While this renewal ensures ongoing projects, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the new deal is somewhat scaled back compared to the original arrangement.
Alongside this, the streaming service has also teamed up with Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand, As Ever, expanding the scope of their partnership.

However, both parties chose to renew their contract ahead of the deadline to continue working together. The partnership has already produced a range of content, including popular projects such as 'Harry & Meghan', 'Heart of Invictus' and 'Live to Lead'.

Sandhya Mridul recalls how she was just 'done' with Bollywood after some bitter experiences but Yash Chopra persuaded her to do 'Saathiya': 'I told him role is boring'

Sandhya Mridul 's journey began on the small screen, where she rose to prominence with Mahesh Bhatt 's acclaimed television series Abhiman. In a candid conversation, she revealed that Bhatt's habit of praising her acting in front of influential industry figures led to a wave of film offers. But the reality of the Hindi film industry didn't sit well with her, especially the tendency to reduce female actors to mere 'pretty faces.' After repeatedly being approached for superficial roles and even being asked to appear in bikinis, she unexpectedly got a call from Yash Raj Films for a pivotal role in Saathiya. 'I got a call saying that Yash Raj Films is trying to call me. I thought somebody is pranking me because I was a TV actor and I had not worked for three months during that time,' she recalled. When she finally met Yash Chopra , her first thought was, 'I met Yash ji himself and I was like why is he meeting me?' Chopra's warmth took her by surprise. 'Chopra told me, 'Bache I love you. I love your work. I don't leave a scene of your TV show, Koshish. My wife wants to meet you. Also, she loves you, we love you.' He was lovely. He told me, 'Beta, ye picture kar le. This film will do well.'' To his astonishment, Sandhya turned him down. 'Mereko pictures nahin karni hai,' she told him, explaining that she simply didn't understand Bollywood. Laughing at the memory, she added, 'I said this to the king of Bollywood.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologist: Just Add 1 Drop Of This Household Item To Any Dark Spot And Wait 3 Minutes Undo But instead of being offended, Yash Chopra only admired her honesty. 'You are a truthful person. We are not like that. Hum achhe se rahenge, hum bade pyaar se tereko rakhenge,' he assured her, persuading her to at least meet the film's director. That meeting with Shaad Ali took an unexpected turn when Sandhya realised they shared a past connection, which made her more open to the idea. Still, after watching the Tamil original, she wasn't impressed with the character. 'I came to Shaad and told him role 'it is boring',' she admitted. It was Yash Chopra's final words that sealed the deal for her. Sandhya recalled, "He told me, 'You do this role according to you. You will breathe life into this role, and that's why I am bringing you in.' His encouragement made all the difference."

All new features and content in Battlefield 6 open beta second week

Image via Electronic Arts. After a successful early access period and the first week of the open beta phase, Battlefield 6 is on a roll right now. Starting from August 7 to 10, the beta phase boasted over a whopping half-a-million million players. And this feat becomes more impressive when it's realized that this is just the PC users. Now, as we are approaching the second week of the Battlefield 6 open beta, it is expected that the player-count is going to reach newer heights, breaking more records. And for that, EA is leaving no stones unturned as the company has planned to bring more content in the second stint of the beta phase. Everything new that is coming to Battlefield 6 open beta second week Battlefield 6 open beta second week will introduce a lot of new features, gamemodes, and a map. | Image via Electronic Arts. After the disastrous display from Battlefield 2042, bringing back fans of this long-standing franchise to Battlefield 6 was the main job of EA. After the first phase of the open beta, it seems the job is more than done. But the developers aren't stopping there, because more brand new content is slated to be featured in the second phase of the open beta. Here are they: New Modes As leaked a month earlier , the popular Rush mode will be back this time. Just like in Counter-Strike and Valorant, there will be two teams where the defenders will stop the attackers from destroying the pairs of military communication channels named M-COM stations with explosives. Failing to stop the bomb from exploding or letting the stations get destroyed would reduce the limited numbers of respawn cards given per phase. Along with it, everyone's favorite Squad Deathmatch mode will be there where four teams will get face-to-face to reach the elimination goal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo Not only that, a new form of the popular Breakthrough mode will be available as well, where players can only equip class-specific weapons.

New Rewards Following the seven challenges in the first weekend of the open beta, the second week will also feature three challenges. Completing these challenges will again grant high-value rewards, which will be carried forward to players' inventory when the game gets fully released on October 10, just like the previous weekend's rewards.

Battlefield 6 open beta second weekend begins on August 14, 2025 at 4 AM ET and will run until August 17 at 4 AM ET. Unlike the first phase, there will be no early-access option for the players.
