Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex sign new Netflix contract
Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex have signed a new multi-year contract with Netflix. The couple have inked a deal to continue to produce films, TV shows and documentaries for the streaming giant through their Archewell Productions banner. Harry and Meghan's first offering in their new Netflix contract will be a documentary short about a Ugandan orphanage called Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, in which they will serve as co-producers on. The duchess is also set to present one-off "magical holiday" special of her cookery and lifestyle show With Love, Meghan in December, which promises to show viewers how to "deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts and share lots of laughs". The couple - who stepped down as working members of the British royal family in 2020 before relocating to California - are also thought to be in "active development" on other projects that "span a variety of content genres", including a feature-length take on the best-selling romantic novel Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune. Meghan, whose As Ever lifestyle brand is run in conjunction with Netflix, said that she and Harry, 40, are "proud" to have extended their partnership with Netflix. The 44-year-old former actress - who was known as Meghan Markle prior to marrying Harry in 2018 - said: "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." Netflix's chief content officer Bela Bajaria said: "Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere." The new deal has been announced just weeks before the Sussexes' initial five-year contract with the streamer was due to expire and it was previously thought that their contract was unlikely to be renewed. A source told The Sun newspaper last month: "The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple... They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time. "There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course." Another insider told the Daily Mail newspaper: "They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new." The couple initially signed a lucrative deal with Netflix in 2020 and created shows such as the tell-all documentary Harry and Meghan and the duke's sports show Polo.

Prince Harry, Meghan and Netflix extend partnership
Prince Harry and Meghan have extended their partnership with Netflix with a multi-year, first-look deal and more culinary adventures on the cards. Their media company Archewell began collaborating with the streaming giant in 2020 and has 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 centres 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 years-long effort to develop business ventures in the United States. They had also penned a multi-year 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 is living in California with their two young children.
