The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended their partnership with Netflix, securing a new multi-year “first-look” deal for their production company,

This arrangement gives Netflix the first option to review proposals for new films and TV shows from the couple.

The new deal clarifies that the partnership between the Sussexes and Netflix is continuing, dispelling previous claims that the two parties were set to completely sever ties.

While the specifics of the financial terms and the length of the deal remain undisclosed, their initial 2020 agreement was reportedly worth around $100 million (£75 million).

Meghan stated that the partnership with Netflix has inspired them to “create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision.”

The announcement comes as the second season of Meghan’s cookery show, “With Love, Meghan,” which is set to premiere later this month.

Although the first season garnered 5.3 million views, it did not make it into the top 300 most-watched shows on Netflix in the first half of 2025.

In comparison, the drama “Adolescence” was the most-watched program with 145 million views during the same period.

A previous Netflix documentary, “Harry & Meghan,” which chronicled the couple’s departure from their roles as “working royals,” proved to be a bigger hit, attracting 23.4 million views upon its release in December 2022.

In addition to the new deal, Archewell has announced a Christmas special of “Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry/Meghan Sign New Multi-Year Netflix Deal” inviting viewers to “join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration.”

The show has also spawned a related food and drink line, “As Ever,” which features products like rosé wine and jams.

Looking ahead, a new show produced by the couple, “Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within,” will be released on Netflix later this year.

The series focuses on an orphanage in Uganda that serves as a beacon of hope in the midst of the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis.

Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, praised the partnership, stating,

Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. 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.” she stated.
