Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended their multi-year partnership with Netflix through their production company, Archewell Productions. The renewed deal will bring fresh projects, including a holiday special episode of With Love, Meghan and a feature film adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling romance novel, Meet Me at the Lake.
Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, praised the couple’s influence and storytelling power, stating, “Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere.” She highlighted the success of their documentary Harry & Meghan and the lifestyle series With Love, Meghan. Bajaria also noted the strong demand for products from Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, which launched earlier this year.
While the 2023 Napa Valley rosé from As Ever reportedly sold out in under an hour, the 2024 vintage remains available a week after release, raising questions about the brand’s current sales performance.
The new Netflix-Archewell deal includes several exciting projects:
- With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration: A festive holiday episode scheduled for release in December
- Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within: A documentary short focusing on a remarkable Ugandan orphanage
- Meet Me at the Lake: A feature film adaptation of Carley Fortune’s romance novel
Reports suggest that this agreement is valued lower than their initial deal, with Netflix securing the right to approve or reject projects before Archewell can shop them to other studios. This arrangement may offer Harry and Meghan greater flexibility in their creative choices moving forward.
Expressing excitement about the renewed partnership, Meghan said, “We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. 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.”
As anticipation grows, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how this next chapter unfolds for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their evolving media ventures.
