The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sign a big deal with Netflix: these are the details of the deal
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have created their own production company and have in mind the launch of endless content
It was information that had been circulating for a couple of weeks now: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were ready to launch their first project as producers to the audiovisual industry. It was an initiative that little was known about at the time, only that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had begun meeting with the top executives of some of the most important production companies in the United States, such as NBC Universal. Well then, HELLO! has been able to confirm that, finally, the couple has sealed an important agreement with nothing more and nothing less than Netflix.
It has been Harry and Meghan themselves who have sent a statement, picked up by the New York Times, in which they make it clear that their focus, with this new great project, will be "to create content that informs, but also gives hope. As parents In recent years, making a family program that inspires is important to us ", they explain while they have been satisfied to have reached this company, whose scope is" unprecedented ".
For their part, Netflix has already been "incredibly proud" that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen them as their "creative home." "We are excited to be able to tell stories with them that help build resilience and increase understanding for audiences everywhere," said Ted Sarandos, Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer for the company. At the moment, yes, the name of the producer that Harry and Meghan will lead has not transcended.
What is clear is that it will make formats of all kinds: from documentaries to feature films, through children's programs and other scripted spaces. Everything indicates, however, that at all times the marriage will remain behind the cameras and, therefore, it is unlikely that Meghan Markle will return to act as an actress, as she did before meeting Prince Harry.
The truth is that, since the 'Megxit' became effective, the couple has not stopped embarking on new challenges and projects, some of them related to the media and the seventh art. The Duchess of Sussex, in this sense, came to narrate the Disneynature documentary Elefante, and, months later, she served as an interviewer at an online event. For his part, the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II of England has not stopped either: in these months he has signed an opinion article in an American business magazine and has participated in a documentary, also from Netflix, called Rising Phoenix, which deals with the history of Paralympic sport.
