Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal is not dead yet, despite the negative stories.
last week painted Harry and Meghan's relationship with Netflix as a crumbling empire with sources at the streaming platform saying the mood in the building was"we're done." Harry and Meghan signed a five-year deal with Netflix in 2020 and re-signed a downgraded"first look" deal last year, so getting a new project accepted by Netflix demonstrates the partnership is not over yet.
The scripted project is written by Francisca X. Hu and set in Wellington, Florida, centering on the messy dynamics between two rival polo families,Executive producers include Prince Harry, Meghan, Archewell’s head of scripted content Tracy Ryerson, and Fake Empire’s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.followed competitors at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, where the new drama will be set, and where Harry has himself competed, meaning he may be able to add some insights., was a commercial success in December 2022, telling the story of their messy exit from palace life and delivered Netflix’s most-watched docuseries debut. It also, though, earned criticism from U.S. reviewers for re-hashing the same story they told which profiled various global leaders and gained far less attention than its more explosive predecessor. In 2023, Heart of Invictus followed veterans on their journeys to the Invictus Games, Prince Harry’s adaptive sports competition he founded to support the armed forces community in 2014., in 2024, offered behind-the-scenes access to the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington over five episodes and featured Harry's friend Nacho Figueras., which gained much attention when the first series dropped but also some eye wateringly bad reviews, including from outlets that were broadly positive about her more generally., but re-signed a scaled down"first look" deal in 2025. This gives Netflix first refusal on their projects but also frees them up to go elsewhere if the streamer says no.: “We still have a relationship with them . We have movies in development with them. We have an amazing doc with them. They have things in development on the TV and film side. “Deals come and go all the time, and we don’t renew so many deals, those just don’t get as much press for obvious reasons."
