Netflix secures partnership with Harry and Meghan
In an exciting development, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended their partnership with Netflix through a multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects under their media company, Archewell Productions [1]. This updated agreement grants Netflix the right of first refusal on projects developed by Harry and Meghan, allowing the streaming platform to review and potentially acquire their content before others.
The couple originally signed with Netflix in September 2020, marking the beginning of their creative journey together. Since then, they have produced popular projects such as the docuseries "Harry & Meghan" (Netflix's most popular docuseries), "Heart of Invictus," and "Live to Lead" [1].
Meghan Markle expressed her pride in extending the partnership and expanding their creative work with Netflix, emphasizing a shared vision and thoughtful content across various genres [1]. The official update confirms the extension with a formal first-look agreement for future projects [2].
One of their most recent projects, "With Love, Meghan," showcases Meghan Markle as a thriving domestic maven, hosting guests, harvesting honey, and mixing bath salts against an idyllic California backdrop. The show has garnered over five million views in the first half of 2025, making it Netflix's most-watched cooking show [3]. A holiday special for "With Love, Meghan" is due in December, promising to feature Meghan hosting friends and family for holiday activities, including decorating, cooking, crafting gifts, and sharing laughs [3]. The show has been extended for a second season.
In addition to "With Love, Meghan," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have also produced "Harry & Meghan," a documentary about their relationship and exit from the House of Windsor, which had 23 million views in its first four days, setting a record for a Netflix documentary [4].
Their initial deal with Netflix, reported to be worth $100 million, gave the streamer exclusive rights to their output. However, the extension of their deal has not disclosed any financial terms [5]. The new agreement also includes a provision that allows Netflix to have the final say on whether a project can be shopped around to other studios before it is greenlit [6].
Meghan Markle has also rebranded her lifestyle product line, named "As ever," and has introduced products like rose wine and apricot spreads [7].
With this extended partnership, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to develop more film and television projects for Netflix, solidifying their position as influential voices in the entertainment industry.
