Royal News: From Mixed Reviews to a Multi-Year Deal

This show is part of a much bigger deal for Meghan and Prince Harry. Their company, Archewell Productions, signed a multi-year extension with Netflix on August 11. The agreement includes a festive holiday special for the series. The deal also features a film version of that romance novel, you know, Meet Me at the Lake.
The book is by an author named Carley Fortune. It’s about these two people who cross paths again later on. They find they still have feelings for each other. Many people think those ideas echo moments from Meghan and Harry’s own lives. About the new deal, Meghan said she and Harry love working with their creative partners and the team at Archewell.
