Meghan Markle and Prince Harry extend Netflix deal through Archewell Productions

The streaming company Netflix has officially extended its creative partnership with Archewell Productions, the media company founded by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry. The agreement is a multi-year, first-look deal covering all of the production company’s projects. While the renewal keeps their collaboration alive, it’s a shift from the couple’s original 2020 overall deal, which carried exclusivity and produced titles such as Harry & Meghan, Polo, and With Love, Meghan.

In a statement announcing the extension, Meghan Markle 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.”

Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria praised the couple’s creative influence and the audience's response to their work. “Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series,” she noted. The six-part series debuted in December 2022, generating 23.4 million views in just its first four days and ranking as Netflix’s fifth most popular documentary series ever.

More recently, With Love, Meghan, tied to Markle’s “As ever” brand, has become a success story in its own right, with related products selling out rapidly. Season two premieres later this month, followed by a holiday special in December. Additionally, Netflix will now collaborate with Meghan Markle’s “As Ever” lifestyle brand, expanding their work together beyond entertainment into branded ventures.

This new arrangement mirrors similar moves Netflix has made with other high-profile partners, including Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground, transitioning from an exclusive overall deal to a more flexible first-look model. 

Under the renewed deal, Archewell Productions has several projects in development, including the feature film Meet Me at the Lake, adapted from the bestselling novel by Carley Fortune. There’s also Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, a documentary short set in Uganda’s Masaka region, where an orphanage impacted by the HIV/AIDS crisis fosters resilience and joy through dance.
