The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signed a new ‘multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects’ with Netflix, the couple announced today.
The deal includes a Christmas special of ‘With Love, Meghan’, which already has a second series on the way, and a new documentary called ‘Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within’.
Meghan said: ‘We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand.
‘My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.’
Five years ago, Harry and Meghan secured a lucrative contract, thought to be worth more than $100million (£74million), with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals in 2020.
The Sussexes announced with Netflix today that they were extending their creative partnership through Archewell Productions with a multi-year, first look deal for film and television projects.
The new deal is understood to be worth less for Harry and Meghan than their previous contract and represents Netflix loosening its ties with the couple.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, said: ‘Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere.
‘The response to their work speaks for itself – Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series.
‘More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time.
‘We’re excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.’
