Prince Harry, Meghan and Netflix extend partnership for streaming programs
Archewell began collaborating with the streaming giant in 2020 and have produced a handful of documentary content, including the popular 'Harry & Meghan.' The Duchess of Sussex also developed a lifestyle brand, As Ever, in partnership with Netflix.
The collaboration has also produced the documentary series' 'Polo,' 'Heart of Invictus' and 'Live to Lead.'
'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,' Meghan said in a statement.
The couple and Netflix also announced upcoming collaborations, including a second season of, 'With Love, Meghan,' a lifestyle and cooking show starring the duchess. The show will also receive a special holiday episode in December.
The show is Netflix's most-watched culinary show since its March release, according to the company. It ranked low compared to other releases in the first half of this year, with 5.3 million views, according to Netflix's semiannual report.
'Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within,' a documentary short film that centers on a small orphanage in Uganda's Masaka region, is also set to release this year. Archewell is also in production with Netflix on a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune's novel 'Meet Me at the Lake.' The drama 'follows a decade-spanning love story that begins with a chance encounter and a broken promise,' the statement read.
'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself,' Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement.
Their extended deal with Netflix is the latest in the couple's yearslong effort to develop business ventures in the United States. They had also penned a multiyear deal with Spotify in 2020 and produced a podcast, 'Archetypes,' but cut ties with the company in 2023.
The couple have been detangling their lives from the British royal family and are living in California with their two young children.

Forget the Netflix price hikes — score a full year of Binge Premium for less than AU$10p/m
Maintaining subscriptions to the best streaming services is getting harder for the average Aussie, with prices always on the rise and content constantly moving around. Thankfully, a homegrown streamer has dropped a seriously cracking deal on its annual subscriptions, discounting them by 35%. From now until August 31, 2025, Binge has discounted its annual subscriptions across its three tiers, with savings of up to AU$63. While Binge's basic tier will cost just AU$48 for the full year, the best deal is on its Premium subscription, which is down to just AU$116p/y, from AU$179. Binge's Premium subscription is on par with Netflix's most expensive offering, providing viewers with 4K streaming on four screens. With this deal, you'll end up paying AU$9.67p/m for the full year – a AU$12.33p/m saving – which is AU$19.32 less than Netflix's impending price hike to AU$28.99p/m for premium. But you'll need to act fast to take full advantage of Binge's discounted annual subscription — this offer is only available until August 31, 2025. Retailing at AU$179p/y for a premium subscription, this Binge deal knocks a massive 35% off the first year. When broken down, it'll cost you just AU$9.67p/m, which is AU$10.32 cheaper than the average premium streaming subscription (AU$19.99). With this annual sub, you can access all of Binge's content catalogue and stream up to 4K on four screens. Some of Binge's upcoming releases include "The Office US" spinoff, "The Paper", arriving on September 4, and the first season of reality competition show, "The Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown", on August 22. New movies on the streamer include "Gladiator", "Sonic The Hedgehog 3", "The Brutalist" and "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy". Winter live sports are heating up in Australia, and the easiest way to stream them live and on demand is on Binge. With an annual subscription on any tier, you'll be able to stream the upcoming AFL and NRL grand finals on September 27 and October 5, respectively. You can even stream the NRLW and AFLW matches, too. In terms of news and lifestyle channels, all Binge subscribers can access Foxtel's most popular channels, such as Fox News, Sky News, BBC and Bloomberg. Premium subscribers gain the added bonus of 4K streaming on four screens, which is a big step up from Binge's standard tier (offering up to 1080p HD streaming). Plus, you won't have to sit through ads while viewing, and that's a major win in our books. But, if you find that the streamer isn't up your alley or don't want to pay the ongoing annual rate of AU$179 after your offer ends, you can always cancel your Binge subscription at any time.

Netflix has racked up 20 No. 1 shows in 2025 (so far) — here are the 5 you shouldn't miss
Netflix has already brought us a ton of new movies and shows throughout 2025, and there are still some major releases waiting in the wings ("Stranger Things" season 5, anyone?) Having a steady stream of new releases is a big plus, obviously, but it can also mean keeping up with what's on Netflix — and all the best streaming services, for that matter — a tall order. And I say that as someone whose job is literally to keep up with what's happening in the world of entertainment. With that in mind, I've been keeping a close eye on the shows that have risen to the top throughout 2025 and put together a shortlist of shows I think viewers ought not to miss. If you read my last round-up of must-see Netflix No. 1 shows, feel free to skip ahead to my picks. Otherwise, I'll just quickly explain how I made my decisions. I checked what the No. 1 show on Netflix U.S. was every single week (via Netflix's handy Top 10 list on Tudum) from the start of the year through to August 3 (the latest published data set) and built up a list of 19 initial shows. After noting them down, and adding in an extra by checking Netflix's homepage each day for the past week (to bring us up to an even 20), I whittled that shortlist down to 5 choices. Because Netflix only shares weekly data in this way, some top watches didn't quite fit the criteria: sorry, "Dept. Q.". Nevertheless, with that explanation out of the way, here's my top five Netflix No. 1 shows of 2025 (so far). 'Adolescence' has been on my list already, and I'm not getting rid of it this time out, either. It had a massive impact upon release, and I'm confident it's going to be remembered as one of 2025's must-see projects. This powerful, four-part limited series sees 'Boiling Point' star Stephen Graham and creator Philip Barantini reuniting to tell the story of a fictional family whose world is turned upside down when their 13-year-old son, Jamie (Owen Cooper), is arrested for the murder of a fellow pupil. Since its release, 'Adolescence' has become the No. 2 Most Popular English-language TV show (second only to 'Wednesday') and has sparked conversations about young people, healthy relationships and online radicalization. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Adolescence' isn't just worthy of a mention owing to its wider impact: it's also an expertly crafted drama, and one that you should make time for if you haven't already. Watch "Adolescence" on Netflix now "Sirens" may not have won critics over quite as much as Molly Smith Metzler's previous Netflix series, "Maid," did, but this dark comedy-drama was a winning watch for me. Across five episodes, we follow concerned sister Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) as she embarks on a quest to check in on her younger sister, Simone (Milly Alcock). Simone's been sucked into the orbit of wellness guru and wealthy socialite, Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), waiting on Mrs. Kell as her devoted live-in assistant. Devon shows up at Michaela's lavish estate — unannounced — and tries to stage her intervention across the Labor Day weekend... where she's thrust into the Kells' cultish world and discovers that her sister's boss is a formidable opponent. It's an emotional, darkly funny miniseries that will have you hooked as new secrets come to light. Watch "Sirens" on Netflix now It's important to me that this list has some variety on it, so I wanted to keep a proper comedy on my list. With that in mind, I'm still recommending "The Four Seasons" as one of the best Netflix originals I've streamed this year. This hilarious, eight-part series comes from Tina Fey, Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield and follows a group of friends, charting how their dynamic shifts when one of the couples in the mix decides to call it quits. It's a gentle, warm comedy that should make for some easy viewing. Watch "The Four Seasons" on Netflix now If you love compelling, character-driven mystery thrillers, then "Untamed" deserves to be on your radar. Released last month, "Untamed" is the latest project from Mark L. Smith ("American Primeval") and Elle Smith ("The Marsh King's Daughter") that whisks us off to the beautiful environs of Yosemite National Park. There, Investigative Services Branch Agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) is on the trail of a killer. Naturally, that investigation sees him stumbling on some dark secrets lurking within the wilder parts of the park. It's a suspenseful six-episode series that many of us at TG enjoyed (fellow writer Alix Blackburn also recommended "Untamed" earlier in the year), and one that belongs on your watchlist if it wasn't already. Watch "Untamed" on Netflix now "Wednesday" is the exception to the rule that I mentioned above. While (at the time of writing), Netflix hadn't published its weekly data for Aug. 4 - 11, every time I've looked at the Netflix homepage since the series launched last week, Wednesday Addams was staring right back at me from the top of Netflix's charts. And seeing as the first season is Netflix's most-watched series of all time... I think it's a sure bet that season 2 will come out on top. If not, I'll replace Wednesday with another choice entirely once the data's live. Regardless, even though we've only gotten half of the new season, I'm already all-in on "Wednesday" all over again. The production design is just as impressive, the mystery's got me hooked, and Jenna Ortega's proven every bit as engaging in the title role. It's just devilishly fun stuff. I can't wait to see what's still in store when the remaining episodes drop, and I feel confident it'll still be one of my favorite Netflix shows of the year going forward. Watch "Wednesday" on Netflix now Below, you can find the full list of the 20 Netflix shows that have been a No. 1 series at some point in the year, based on Netflix's weekly data (listed alphabetically).
