Overview

• The Sussexes signed a reported $100 million, five-year production deal with Netflix in 2020 under their Archewell banner to create documentaries, series and feature projects.
• Their 2022 docuseries Harry & Meghan set the record for Netflix’s most-viewed documentary debut but later offerings failed to match that success.
• With Love, Meghan ranked No. 383 with 5.3 million views in the first half of 2025 and Harry’s Polo documentary was watched by just 500,000 households.
• Sources familiar with the partnership describe the decision to let the contract lapse in September as mutual and amicable with no hard feelings on either side.
• Netflix is shifting away from blockbuster talent deals toward project-based collaborations while remaining open to one-off projects and supporting Meghan’s As Ever brand.
