Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Major Boost as Netflix Deal Renewed
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have renewed their Netflix deal in a major boost for the couple after press reports the streamer was moving to ditch them.
The couple have brokered a "first look deal" which continues their relationship with the company but without binding it into paying them the kind of dizzying sums the Sussexes got first time around.
Meghan said in a statement released to Newsweek: "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."
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement released to Newsweek: "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."
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle extend Netflix deal, announce upcoming projects
Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are extending their partnership with Netflix, which was first launched in 2020. Netflix announced in a press release Monday that the Sussexes' media company, Archewell Productions, has "extended its creative partnership with Netflix, with a multi-year, first look deal for its film and television projects." In a statement shared in the press release, Meghan said she and Harry are "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," she added. Harry and Meghan signed their streaming deal with Netflix in September 2020 to produce scripted series, documentaries and children's specials for Netflix. Since then, they've released several projects. In 2022, they released their docuseries "Harry & Meghan," which details their journey from falling in love to stepping away from their senior royal roles. The docuseries has garnered a total of 23.4 million views on Netflix since its debut and is the streaming platform's most popular docuseries of all time, according to a press release. The following year, they released "Heart of Invictus," which follows a group of competitors as they train for the 2022 Invictus Games, a sporting event founded by Prince Harry for wounded service members. They also released "Live to Lead," a docuseries which highlighted individuals who have had a significant impact on the world, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Greta Thunberg and Jacinda Ardern. In 2024, they came out with "Polo," a docuseries that explores the world of polo and the lives of polo players off the field, and earlier this year, they released the lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan." Upcoming projects that will be released by Archewell Productions include season 2 of "With Love, Meghan," which will arrive later this month, and a book-to-film adaptation of Carley Fortune's "Meet Me at the Lake," which was first announced in 2023. Season one of "With Love, Meghan" premiered in March and features Meghan's love for cooking, gardening and hosting. Season 2 was announced just three days after the series' debut. Meghan also launched the food brand As Ever in March and announced at the time that Netflix would be partnering with her on the brand. In its press release Monday, Netflix said the As Ever brand "will continue expanding into new product categories with new items continuing to be released throughout the remainder of the year." In addition to the second season of "With Love, Meghan," the streamer said the Duchess of Sussex will release a Netflix holiday special in December titled "With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration." The Sussexes are also set to produce "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within," a documentary short from Campfire Studios in Association with Wontanara Productions and Archewell Productions. A logline for the documentary states, "In the heart of Uganda's Masaka region, where the shadows of the HIV/AIDS crisis linger, a small orphanage becomes a beacon of hope. '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." The documentary, directed by David Vieira Lopez and Moses Bwayo, is slated for release later this year.

Who Is ‘Perfect Match's Hannah Burns Engaged to Marry?
Netflix's Perfect Match season 3 has been one for the books—but IMO, the most interesting drama of the season is happening off-screen. From AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland's whole deal to Louis Russell's red carpet bombshell, fans have been kept fed between episode drops. The latest scandal that has the internet talking: the identity of Hannah Burns' baby daddy/fiancé. After Netflix dropped its second batch of episodes last Friday, Hannah took to TikTok to share pics from a maternity also happened to feature her mystery man. And since (as she previously revealed) most of her scenes were cut from the show, fans are dying to know: Who is the father of Hannah's child? If you need to be caught up to speed: Hannah first raised eyebrows in late June, when she posted an Instagram suggesting she's gotten engaged on the upcoming season. Not long after, she announced that not only is she engaged—she's also expecting her first child. Per The Mole alum, Netflix won't allow her to reveal the identity of her fiancé, but she has said that she 'wouldn't be getting married or pregnant right now had I not been in Perfect Match.' So the question begs: Is Hannah's mystery man one of her fellow season 3 cast members, and if so, who is it? According to a whole bunch of internet sleuths, the answer is Too Hot to Handle's Jalen Olomu-Brown, a theory that's mostly based on some careful hand analysis. Also! The Dobermann in the backseat of the above video looks preeeetty similar to Jalen's dog Deuce (swipe to compare): Plus, fans are convinced they can hear his voice in this video: That said, there is also a theory going around that Hannah's man is someone named Louie Crow, who's not a part of the cast at all but rather someone she supposedly met at the resort while filming (which would explain why she was cut from the series). The reason: In the below TikTok, you'll see the words '@ Louie crow wassup with you' flash behind the text around the nine-second mark: And to be fair, she never explicitly stated that her fiancé was a Perfect Match cast member—just that she met him while filming the series. Guess fans will have to sit tight and wait until the finale drops on August 15!
