Netflix deal is history: This is how the future looks for Harry and Meghan

The multimillion dollar deal with Netflix will soon be history, but Prince Harry (40) and Duchess Meghan (43) allegedly want to continue watching TV. As “The Sun” reported and confirmed “People”, Netflix will not extend the lucrative contract of the Sussexes if it expires in September. According to further media reports, the couple already has new plans in the pipeline.

“Page Six” reports that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are willing to sign a first look contract with Netflix if their exclusive contract expires in autumn. According to reports, the Sussexes could strive for an agreement similar to that of the streaming provider with the production company Higher Ground of the former US President Barack Obama (63) and Michelle Obama (61). “There are other TV projects with the Duke and the Duchess.” Netflix could then be offered these sussex projects in front of other interested parties by the new deal, with a kind of contractually agreed right of first refusal.

The second season of the lifestyle show “With Love, Meghan” “People”, which has already been turned off, will appear on Netflix as planned, according to “People” despite the expiry of the previous deal. Harry and Meghan’s contract with the streaming service became known in September 2020. At that time, the “New York Times” reported that its production company wanted to produce documentaries, documentaries, documentary series, feature films and children’s programs and named the rumored number of $ 100 million for the deal.

Ultimately, the documentary series “Harry & Meghan” and “Live to Lead” about people such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Greta Thunberg, “Heart of Invictus” about the Invictus Games founded by Prince Harry for athletes as well as “Polo” and “With Love, Meghan”. Except for “Harry & Meghan”, none of the projects should have been a great success.

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex is now supposed to focus on another project: her company “as ever”. “The brand continues to develop with new products that correspond to its vision of high-quality lifestyle products at affordable prices,” said an insider “Page Six”.

It also fits that Meghan does not extend her podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder” by a second season for the time being. The reason should also be that “AS Ever” should now come to the fore. The podcast started just like the lifestyle brand and the first season of the Netflix show “With Love, Meghan” in spring. With its end, the Duchess’s second podcast project is over. With Spotify there was previously a deal, which, however, ended again after only one season of Meghan’s “Archetypes” podcast.

Again and again it is also speculated whether there could be a new Meghan and Harry revelation book. Harry’s memoirs “Reserve” (2023) brought him a few million dollars according to reports. It is not yet known whether there are specific new book projects. The couple, who retired from the British royal family in 2020 and moved to the USA in 2020, would certainly have had enough. Meghan and Harry live with their two children Archie (6) and Lilibet (4) in Montecito Califonic.
