After the end of the Netflix contract: Another setback for Meghan and Harry?

No director, no actors? After the end of the Netflix deal by Duchess Meghan (43) and Prince Harry (40), a special project of the couple is to be on hold. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced in August 2023 that they wanted to produce a film adaptation of Carley Fortunes love novel “Meet Me at the Lake” for the streaming service. that the company of the Sussexes, Archewell Productions, has supposedly not yet hired no director. Nothing should be known about the cast either.

“At this point one could have thought that they had already found a director and a cast. So why the delay?”, An Insider asks the report. “And if you produce something for Netflix, it takes a long time to see the streaming service – there is so much to do in post -production to ensure that it is ready for every country. If the contract expires this year, when will this film be made?” A documentary that plays in Africa could also have been put on hold, it is said.

As previously reported “The Sun” 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 that further TV projects are planned. “Page Six” reported that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan were also willing to sign a first look contract with Netflix if their exclusive contract expires in autumn. Netflix could then offer new sussex projects in front of other interested parties by the deal.

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. Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex is said to focus primarily 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”.
