Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have expanded their partnership with Netflix and its media company Archewell Productions.
On August 11, Markle announced her new first look agreement for several years in a statement, saying, “We feel inspired to work closely with our husband, our partners and the Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonate globally and celebrate shared vision.”
Archewell Productions began collaborating with Netflix in 2020, producing documentary content for several people, including the popular series Harry & Meghan. The Duchess of Sussex worked with Netflix to develop a lifestyle brand just like before.
The collaboration also produces documentary series Polo, Heart of Invictus and Live To Lead.
The couple and streaming service have also announced upcoming collaborations, including the second season of Love, Meghan, A Lifestyle and A Cooking Show, starring Markle. The show will also receive a special holiday episode in December.
A documentary short film focusing on Masaka Kids, Rhythm in Rhythm and a small orphanage in the Masaka region of Uganda is also scheduled to be released this year.
“Harry and Meghan are influential voices of stories that resonate with audiences everywhere. Their response to their work speaks for itself,” Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said in a statement. “Harry and Meghan gave viewers an intimate view of their lives and quickly became one of our most viewed documentary series.”
Archewell Productions will be collaborating with Netflix on feature adaptations for Carley Fortune's novel Meet Me at the Lake.

The latest update comes after claiming that a US$100 million multi-year contract with Markle and Harry's streaming service claimed it would expire without renewal.
Insider previously told people that the couple's production deal “will not be extended to reflect changes in Netflix's broader business strategy.”
The expansion agreement with Netflix is the latest in the couple's long-standing efforts to develop business ventures in the US. They also wrote a multi-year agreement with Spotify in 2020, creating podcasts, archetypes, but in 2023 they cut their relationship with the company.
The royal couple had resigned as working senior members of the British royal family and signed a lucrative $20 million contract in late 2020, just months after moving from the UK to California.
