Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have announced their upcoming nonfiction projects with Netflix. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to produce two series, with Meghan starring in the first one. This project will focus on cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. The second series will delve into the world of professional polo, a sport that Harry has been involved in as an amateur player for years.
The couple's multi-year deal with Netflix, signed in September 2020, aims to create original content that is both informative and hopeful. Their first collaboration with the streaming platform was a docuseries titled Harry & Meghan, where they shared insights into their royal experience and decision to step back from their duties.
In addition to their upcoming projects, Harry and Meghan also produced the documentary Heart of Invictus, highlighting the Invictus Games for wounded veterans. They are currently working on a film adaptation of the romance novel Meet Me at the Lake, among other unscripted shows and a movie in early development.
Meghan, who has shown interest in directing and being behind the camera, was set to executive produce an animated children's series titled Pearl, which was later scrapped. There is speculation about her potentially returning to her acting roots, particularly with a Suits spinoff in the works for NBC.
The Netflix partnership marks Harry and Meghan's foray into Hollywood, with a focus on creating meaningful and engaging content. Their upcoming projects are highly anticipated, showcasing their commitment to storytelling and producing impactful narratives.
