Overview
- Archewell Productions replaced its 2020 overall contract with a multi-year first-look agreement that continues the Sussexes’ Netflix collaboration
- The slate under the new deal features With Love, Meghan Season 2 debuting later this month, a December holiday special and the Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within documentary short
- Archewell is also advancing a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune’s novel Meet Me at the Lake alongside charitable programming tied to Harry’s work in Africa
- Industry insiders report the arrangement is less lucrative and offers looser commitments than the original $100 million-plus pact, reflecting Netflix’s move to project-based deals
