Harry and Meghan Ink New Netflix Deal, Expanding Their Content Reach
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex solidify their relationship with Netflix through a new multi-year agreement.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, have officially unveiled an extension of their partnership with Netflix, marking the inception of a new "multi-year, first look deal" that grants the streaming giant initial rights to content proposals from their Archewell production company. This arrangement comes as a shift from their previous contract and dispels rumors regarding a potential split between the Sussexes and Netflix.
In a statement, Meghan expressed excitement about their ongoing collaboration, noting that it inspires them to "create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision." The details surrounding the duration and financial specifics of the new deal remain undisclosed. Their previous agreement, initiated in 2020, was reported to be valued at approximately $100 million (£75 million).
The announcement coincides with the impending release of the second season of the cooking series, With Love, Meghan, set to premiere later this month. Despite Meghan's optimism, viewership data reveals mixed results. The inaugural season of the lifestyle show garnered only 5.3 million views, failing to break into Netflix's top 300 most popular shows during the first half of 2025. In stark contrast, the couple's earlier documentary, Harry & Meghan, drew 23.4 million viewers shortly after its December 2022 rollout.
In addition to their culinary series, Archewell has previewed a special holiday edition of With Love, Meghan, inviting viewers for a festive experience in Montecito. Furthermore, a new documentary titled Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within—helmed by Harry and Meghan—will showcase the inspiring story of an orphanage in Uganda tackling the lasting effects of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, underscored the significance of Harry and Meghan's narratives, attesting to their widespread resonance. The impact of their previous endeavors speaks volumes; Harry & Meghan has quickly gained popularity, becoming one of Netflix’s most-watched documentary series.
