The Duke and Duchess of Sussex strike a fresh multi-year deal with Netflix, promising innovative programming.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have announced an extension of their collaboration with Netflix, securing a new multi-year agreement for producing films and television shows. This updated arrangement is characterized as a "first look deal," enabling Netflix to have the first choice on projects developed by their Archewell production company.
Interestingly, this contract is described as less constraining than their previous deal, which raises questions about the future of their relationship with the streaming platform amidst speculation of potential separation. In a statement, Meghan expressed their excitement about this partnership with Netflix, highlighting the couple's aspirations to "create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally and celebrates our shared vision."
Details regarding the duration or financial terms of the new contract remain undisclosed. However, their initial collaboration which commenced in 2020 was believed to be valued at around $100 million (£75 million). The announcement coincides with the impending release of the second season of their cookery show, "With Love, Meghan," debuting later this month.
Initial audience metrics from Netflix reveal that the first season of "With Love, Meghan" failed to rank among the platform's top 300 shows during the first half of 2025, garnering only 5.3 million views. In contrast, Netflix's most viewed show during that period, "Adolescence," attracted 145 million views. A prior documentary titled "Harry & Meghan," which delved into the couple's transition from royal duties, reached a stronger viewership with 23.4 million viewers shortly after its December 2022 release.
Additionally, Archewell has teased a special holiday edition of "With Love, Meghan," inviting audiences to celebrate alongside Meghan in Montecito. The lifestyle series has also launched a complementary food and drink line, known as "As Ever," featuring items such as rosé wine and gourmet jams.
Coming this year is another collaboration, "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within," which Harry and Meghan will produce, shedding light on an orphanage in Uganda providing hope amid the challenges of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, reiterated the couple's influence, stating, "Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere." The success of their documentary speaks volumes, as "Harry & Meghan" ranks among Netflix's top documentary series.
