Harry and Meghan Extend Netflix Partnership with New Deal
Duke and Duchess of Sussex secure multi-year agreement for upcoming projects
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have formalized an extension of their partnership with Netflix, declaring a "multi-year, first look deal" that provides Netflix with priority on proposals from their Archewell production company. This new agreement is considered more flexible than their previous arrangement and counters recent rumors about a potential split between the Sussexes and the streaming giant.
Meghan expressed enthusiasm about their ongoing collaboration, stating they were motivated to produce "thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision." Details regarding the specific duration and financial aspects of the deal remain undisclosed, though their previous contract, initiated in 2020, was reported to be valued around $100 million (£75 million).
The announcement coincides with the upcoming premiere of the second season of their culinary series, With Love, Meghan, slated for release later this month. Despite the show's promotional efforts, data revealed the first series failed to make a mark on Netflix's top 300 shows during the first half of 2025, garnering just 5.3 million views. In comparison, leading Netflix content, like the drama Adolescence, attracted an impressive audience of 145 million viewers.
Previously released, the documentary Harry & Meghan had better performance metrics, achieving 23.4 million views shortly after its December 2022 premiere. In addition to the new season of With Love, Meghan, which includes a holiday special shot in Montecito, the couple is set to release Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, later this year. This upcoming project will focus on an orphanage in Uganda that serves as a beacon of hope amidst the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, remarked on the significance of Harry and Meghan's narratives, emphasizing that their stories resonate with audiences globally. Their previous collaborative works have continually attracted attention and engagement, establishing the couple as influential figures within the entertainment industry.
