ADVERTISEMENT Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have renewed their partnership with Netflix in a fresh multi-year deal, continuing their collaboration through Archewell Productions.
The couple say the agreement reflects their mission to create “thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed the extension on Monday (11 August), with Netflix gaining first-look rights on upcoming projects. The renewed deal includes the return of “With Love, Meghan”, a lifestyle and cooking series starring the Duchess of Sussex, as well as a new documentary short Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, which centres on an orphanage in Uganda.
“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,” Meghan said in a statement.
Also on the slate is Meet Me at the Lake, a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune’s romantic novel about a decade-spanning love story sparked by a chance encounter.
This latest agreement is a continuation of Harry and Meghan’s post-royal streaming ventures, which began with a widely publicised Netflix partnership in 2020 – reported at the time to be worth around $100 million (€86.2 million).
Previous Archewell-produced projects for the streaming platform include the docuseries Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead, and Polo.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, praised the couple’s storytelling efforts: “Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself.”
But not all of that response has been glowing.
While Harry & Meghan performed strongly with 23.4 million viewers following its 2022 debut, “With Love, Meghan” has had a rockier journey. Despite being billed by Netflix as its most-watched culinary show this year, it pulled in just 5.3 million views – placing it outside the platform’s top 300 most-viewed shows in the first half of 2025.
Critics did not hold back. Reviews of the first series called the show “out of touch”, and its polished, curated aesthetic drew ridicule across social media platforms.
Memes and TikToks poked fun at the former actress’s on-screen persona, with some viewers calling the series overly staged.
Still, Netflix is backing a second season – set to air later this month – as well as a holiday special in December, inviting audiences to “join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration.” The series is also linked to her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which includes products like rosé wine and jams.
