Netflix back away from Harry and Meghan with new deal, on worse terms: Sussexes sign ‘first-look’ agreement after shows flopped – with cooking Christmas special and another documentary

The Duke and Duke of Sussex signed a new ‘multi -year, first view for film and television projects’ with Netflix – a decline in the previous contract.

The new outputs will include the second season of Duchess ‘love, Meghan’ lifestyle show and a Christmas feature later on this month.

Sussexes is also working on the ‘Masaka Kids’, a documentary about the orphan children in Uganda, which is the ‘shadows of the shadows of the HIV/AIDS crisis’.

Ayrıca, Carley Fortune’un Romantik Roman Meet Me the Lake’in bir özellik uyarlaması da dahil olmak üzere Netflix ile ‘çeşitli içerik türlerini kapsayan’ diğer projelerde ‘aktif geliştirme’ var.

Netflix, Love with Love, Meghan and Heart of Invictus, Live to Live to Live and the couple’s bomb documentary Harry & Meghan, as well as Meghan’s lifestyle brand as a business partner.

Five years ago, Harry and Meghan left Netflix a profitable contract, which was thought to be worth 100 million dollars (£ 74 million) after leaving it as a senior working royal in 2020.

The renewed agreement was described by Sussexes, who made the announcement with Netflix, as ‘expanding their creative partnerships’ through the Archaewell Productions.

However, it represents that the terms are less valuable for Harry and Meghan than their previous contracts and that Netflix loosen their ties with the couple.

Sussexes said that Harry & Meghan, which emerged in December 2022, was a great success with a total of 23.4 million views and made the most displayed documentary for the first four days and reached the British Top 10 TV list in 85 countries.

However, Meghan could not enter Netflix’s first ten programs – even in the top 300, because since it was released in March, the worldwide, only 5.3 million viewers, is 383 in 2025 for the stream giant.

Duchess said today: ‘We are proud to expand our work together to expand our partnership with Netflix and to include the usual brand.

‘My husband and I are inspired by us and our partners who work closely with our Archaewell Productions team to create thoughtful content among the species echoing globally and celebrate our common vision.’

Bela Bajaria, the chief content manager of Netflix, said: ‘Harry and Meghan, the stories echoed with the audience everywhere.

‘Answer to his work speaks for him – Harry & Meghan took a sincere look at their lives and quickly became one of our most watched documentary series.

“ More recently, fans were inspired by Meghan, Meghan, and they are continuously sold in record time with the usual line.

‘We are excited to continue our partnership with the Archaewell Productions and to bring our members together.’

As usual, Meghan’s cookie mixture is the lifestyle brand that sells herbal tea, flower sprinkles and jams and launched a new Napa Valley Rosé wine last Friday.

In March, Duchess launched the Lemonada Media and the new Podcast series’ a female founder ‘confessions’ with an interview with Beyonce’s mother Tina Knowles.

In 2022, Meghan’s Archetypes series about women’s stereotypes ran only for a series and was part of Sussexes’ previous year’s agreement with Spotify, which ended the next year.
