Sussexes Extend Netflix Deal Amidst Royal Exit Controversies

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have signed a fresh multi-year film and television deal with Netflix. The new agreement contradicts previous reports that the streaming company would not renew its contract with them.

The couple had previously collaborated with Netflix on several projects, including Meghan’s lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan.” Despite their efforts, some of their content didn’t perform well, leading to speculation about a potential contract renewal. However, the new deal appears to have overcome those challenges.

The terms of the “multi-year, first look” deal for film and television projects were not disclosed. The duchess expressed her pride in extending their partnership with Netflix, stating that she feels inspired by their partners who work closely with them to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally.

Archewell Productions, the couple’s production company, is working on several new projects, including a second season of “With Love, Meghan,” a Christmas special, and a documentary about orphaned children in Uganda. The company is also developing other Archewell projects with Netflix, which span a variety of content genres, including a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel.

The news comes after the couple faced controversies surrounding their decision to step down as senior royals. However, it seems that they are moving forward and expanding their work with Netflix. The new deal marks an exciting development in the couple’s content creation endeavors.
