Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are actively working on new movies and TV series for Netflix, as announced by top executives of the streaming giant. The couple is engaged in several new projects, many of which are believed to be unscripted. Amidst uncertainty about the extension of their 2020 streaming deal worth $100 million over five years, the Sussexes have faced criticism from Spotify when their £15 million contract expired last June.
Netflix's Head of Content, Bella Beria, mentioned at a promotional event in Hollywood that Harry and Meghan are involved in the early stages of development for unscripted work, including documentaries, films, and TV series. There are speculations about an adaptation of Carly Fortune's romantic novel "May at the Lake," a story of two strangers embarking on an adventure set in Toronto, where Meghan lived during the filming of "Suits."
While their Netflix deal has produced successful documentaries, there's uncertainty about the renewal of their five-year contract expiring in 2025. The couple has faced criticism for leveraging their position to make accusations of racism against the royal family, including their son's skin color.
Amidst media scrutiny, the couple is reportedly working on a Netflix show, but their rebrand seems to face challenges. Their silence about the new project and departures from Archewell officials hint at possible struggles. After four years of leaving the royal family, Harry and Meghan's attempts to reshape their image and the silence surrounding their new project raise questions.
In 2021, they shared their story with Oprah Winfrey, released a royal documentary on Netflix in 2022, and Harry published a book titled "Despair" in 2023. The couple's journey post-royalty continues to be a subject of intrigue.
