Netflix ends cooperation with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan
With her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan”, Prince Harry’s wife wanted to get started, but the show was only moderately successful. That now has consequences.
That was probably with the big Netflix partnership: Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have to look for a new streaming partner. The British newspaper and the US magazine report that Netflix does not extend the lucrative $ 100 million contract of the Sussexes if it expires in September. The decision had been made by mutual agreement that both sides had agreed not to make an official announcement, said an insider that was not mentioned by name of “The Sun”.
Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” little successful
Only a few days ago that Duchess Meghans started on March 4 of this year “with Love, Meghan” had come to only 5.3 million views. That meant place 383 of all Netflix series in the semi-annual chart of the streaming service. The period from January 1 to June 30 of this year is recorded.
Prince Harry’s documentary series “Polo” cut off even bad in the Netflix charts. The show about the sport and some of his protagonists started on Netflix on December 10, 2024 and made it to only 500,000 views in the past six months. This lies in number 3436 of all series and shows.
Thus, the only really big Netflix success of the Sussexes “Harry & Meghan” remains, the very personal documentary series by Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan published in December 2022, who caused a sensation.
“Netflix was smart because they had a damn many spectators for the first documentary series and knew that they realistically represent the zenith of the couple from Montecito,” said the anonymous source of the “Sun”. The expectations for follow -up projects were apparently not met.
Harry and Meghan could switch to Paramount+
According to the media reports, the second season of the lifestyle show “With Love, Meghan” “” People “will appear on Netflix as planned, according to” People “, despite the expiry of the deal. Netflix can also imagine “a unique project” with the Sussexes in the future. In addition, the streaming service Paramount+ should also be interested in working with the famous couple “if the right project would be there”.
From the number girl to the Duchess: This is how Meghan has changed over the years
Before Meghan Markle Hollywood air sniffed and later became a Duchess, she had to start on TV Klein in 2006: as a number girl in the game show “Deal or No Deal”. An experience that she later looked back with mixed feelings. “I was grateful for the job, but not for how I felt. … not clever. By the way, I was surrounded by clever women who were on stage with me,” she said in a episode of her podcast “Archetypes”. “But that was not the reason why we were there. And in the end I went home with a smooth feeling in my stomach because I knew that I was so much more than what was objectified on stage”
