Netflix Ends Its Multi-Year Deal With Meghan and Harry
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s production deal with Netflix will not be renewed after it expires in September. The couple signed the deal back in 2020. The deal was reportedly worth around $100 million, but the streaming platform has now decided to move on.
“There’s no animosity from either side,” a source told us. A Hollywood insider confirmed the decision to PEOPLE, adding that Netflix is shifting away from big, long-term content deals.
Royal Project: Meghan’s Series Continues Despite Deal Ending
Fans are now wondering what the couple’s next big move will be after this unexpected setback. Even with the deal ending, Meghan’s show, With Love, Meghan, will return for a second season this fall. The series launched in March and pulled in 5.3 million views. It landed in Netflix’s global Top 10 shows during its debut week.
Netflix is still involved as a passive partner. Season two has already been filmed. Chrissy Teigen will appear in the first episode, with Michael Steed returning as director.
One of the couple’s other projects, Polo, got 500,000 views and ranked far lower on the platform. Their earlier docuseries, Harry & Meghan, still holds the title of Netflix’s most-watched documentary debut.
The streaming giant is now focusing on quick-hit shows rather than long contracts. Insiders say it’s all about cutting costs and betting on flexible content. For Meghan and Harry, it marks the end of a bold chapter in their media journey. For more royal news and updates, follow Soap Opera Daily.
