Harry and Meghan renew Netflix deal with first look partnership
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signed a new 'multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects' with Netflix, the couple has announced. Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract, thought to be worth more than 100 million dollars (£74 million) with the streaming giant after quitting as senior working royals in 2020. The first-look deal, which means Netflix will have the first option on Harry and Meghan's projects, was described by the Sussexes as 'extending their creative partnership'. Meghan said: 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. 'My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally and celebrates our shared vision.' Their new output will include a 'fun and heartwarming' second season of the duchess's With Love Meghan lifestyle show later this month, as well as a 'magical holiday celebration' Christmas special in December. Archewell Productions is also working on Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within – a documentary about orphaned children in Uganda's Masaka region, where the 'shadows of the HIV/Aids crisis linger'. This comes after Harry stepped down from Sentebale, the charity he founded to help children orphaned by Aids in Lesotho, following a boardroom battle with the chairwoman. The duke, who is considering starting a new humanitarian charity, has vowed to continue his commitment to supporting youngsters in the region. The documentary will focus on 'the heart of Uganda's Masaka region, where the shadows of the HIV/Aids crisis linger, a small orphanage becomes a beacon of hope'. Netflix said: 'Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within goes beyond the viral videos to reveal a vibrant, one-of-a-kind community where orphaned children transform hardship into joy, dancing their way toward healing, belonging and the promise of a brighter future.' There is also 'active development' on other projects with Netflix, which 'span a variety of content genres', including a feature adaptation of the bestselling romantic novel by Carley Fortune, Meet Me At The Lake. The Sussexes' most successful series has been Harry & Meghan – their controversial tell-all 2022 documentary about stepping back from royal duties and their struggles with the royal family. It totalled 23.4 million views and is Netflix's fifth most popular documentary series of all time. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, said: 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. 'The response to their work speaks for itself — Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series. 'More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As Ever line consistently selling out in record time. 'We're excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.' Harry's other ventures included a documentary about polo, Live to Lead about inspiring leaders and Heart of the Invictus, following competitors in the 2022 Invictus Games. Season one of Meghan's With Love Meghan lifestyle series, which saw the former Suits star offer hosting and cooking tips as she entertained friends, was savaged by critics. One review in The Guardian described it as a 'gormless lifestyle filler' and 'so pointless it might be the Sussexes' last TV show', while The Telegraph gave it two stars and branded it 'insane' and an 'exercise in narcissism'. Its release coincided with the launch of Meghan's As Ever brand, which sells flower sprinkles, pre-prepared baking kits and jam, and in which Netflix is also a partner. The couple's other major media deal with Spotify ended in 2023 after one season of Meghan's podcast Archetypes, with one of the streaming giant's executives later branding them 'grifters'.

Dave Chappelle claims he was ‘snubbed' by the Grammys and Emmys after trans jokes
Comedian Dave Chappelle aired his COVID-era documentary 'Dave Chappelle: Live In Real Life' at a film festival in Martha's Vineyard on Friday after the original release failed due to backlash over his 2021 Netflix special 'The Closer.' 'I've gone on to get snubbed by the Grammys and the Emmys because someone thought it was a good idea to tell trans jokes,' he told the audience on Friday after screening the movie, according to Variety. Advertisement Chappelle's Netflix special included jokes about transgender people, prompting backlash from the LGBTQ+ community. Several Netflix employees protested Chappelle's special at the time. Chappelle hosted comedy shows in 2020 with musicians and other comedians with several safety protocols in place until someone in Chappelle's inner circle was exposed to COVID-19. The shows were recorded and turned into a documentary, which Chappelle aired on Friday at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival. 3 Dave Chappelle speaks at the premiere of 'Dave Chappelle: Live In Real Life' during the 2025 Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival on August 08, 2025 in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Getty Images Advertisement 'It took a lot of courage for all of those comedians to come out there because COVID was so new. Everyone was still so isolated, and it was real fear,' he said. 'And the other thing is, no one had worked in a hundred nights. Everyone stunk when they got there, but it didn't matter. It was so much fun to be together again. It was just like when we all started in the comedy club, we realized how much we loved being around each other,' Chappelle continued. 3 A detail view of a gigant Grammy trophy during the HBCU Love Tour Atlanta: Grammy U Masterclass at Ray Charles Performing Arts Center on October 10, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Mathieu Bitton/Netflix Advertisement The screening at the film festival was part of Chappelle's efforts to raise funds for the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C., his alma mater. 'Ellington gave me a sense of community,' he said. 'It was a predominantly Black school when I went there, and that was important because everything in the news was so negative.' His COVID-era comedy shows took place in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Chappelle's home. He told the audience that the shows brought $9 million to the town's economy, Variety reported. Advertisement 'If you want things to change, you have to change s—,' he said. The documentary included appearances by David Letterman, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart and more.
