Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Productions will develop more content for the streaming giant, including a documentary on Ugandan children and an adaptation of a bestselling novel.
- Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have extended their partnership with Netflix.
- The new deal is reportedly worth significantly less than their original $100 million agreement.
- Projects in growth include a documentary, “Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within,” and a film adaptation of “Meet Me at The Lake.”
- The second season of Markle’s lifestyle show,”With Love,Meghan,” is slated for release later this month.
- A holiday special, “With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration,” will also air in december.
The couple’s company, Archewell Productions, announced the renewed collaboration, with Markle, 44, expressing pride in expanding their work 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,” Markle stated.
Sources familiar with the new deal suggest it is a “first-look” agreement,meaning Netflix has the initial right to pick up projects but no obligation to fund every proposal. This shift indicates a move from a broad commitment to a more selective approach. “They have shot the golden goose of 2020 – more of a ‘we’ll call you’ than ‘here’s the chequebook,'” one insider commented.
