Overview

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have signed a multi-year, first-look agreement with Netflix through Archewell Productions for future film and TV projects.
  • The new deal replaces their 2020 exclusive overall pact and is widely regarded as less lucrative for the Sussexes, though financial terms remain undisclosed.
  • Netflix will premiere With Love, Meghan season two later this month, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration in December and the Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within documentary-short.
  • Archewell Productions is also developing a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune’s Meet Me At The Lake alongside additional projects across diverse genres.
  • Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria lauded the couple as “influential voices,” reflecting the streamer’s broader shift toward first-look and project-based partnerships.
