Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry are inking a renewed deal with Netflix.
The royal couple, who partnered with the streaming giant for the 2022 docuseries “Meghan & Harry” as well as the duchess’ lifestyle show “With Love, Meghan,” signed a multi-year extension for film and television projects.
Archewell Productions, the couple’s joint media venture, detailed the deal in an Aug. 11 release, which includes a new season of “With Love,” as well as a holiday special for the show and a movie adaptation of the romance book “Meet Me at the Lake.”
“We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the ‘As Ever’ brand,” Meghan wrote in a statement alongside the announcement.
“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,” she said.
As Ever, the duchess’ lifestyle brand, is a partner project to “With Love,” offering a collection of products like the now-viral homemade preserves and shortbread cookie mix.
“Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere,” Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, said in the release. “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,” she added.
The move to extend a close relationship with a streaming giant notches soundly into Meghan and Harry’s post-palace strategy. The pair, who formally stepped back from their senior royal duties in 2020, have since charted a new path – moving to America and launching a variety of money-making ventures, from podcasting to publishing.
