Hold on to your saddles, royal watchers! Prince Harry is making waves once again, but this time, it’s not with family drama or royal revelations. The Duke of Sussex is heading back to his roots with a Netflix series that’s all about the sport he loves: Polo. Promising to ‘pull back the curtain’ on his favorite pastime, Harry’s new show is all about passion and grit. Keep scrolling to know all about it.
The Duke of Sussex is all set to release his new Netflix project on the sport, Polo and it will release in December. The streaming platform reportedly said, “The series will pull back the curtain on the sport, known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, capturing the full story of what it takes to compete at its highest level.” We know that Harry and Meghan signed a contract with Netflix in 2020, and they are working on different projects this time.
The series POLO will delve into the lives of professional polo players and offer an exclusive bts look behind the fast-paced world of the sport. A source told the Daily Mail that this show will not heavily feature Prince Harry and instead will focus on polo player Nacho Figueras. The insider said, “Let’s face it, Polo isn’t exactly a mainstream sport, so the attraction would have been watching Harry. Without him, it’s marginal at best.”

We know that Sussexes’ Netflix deal expires next year, so they need a huge hit. However, many sources believed that, “For a show about a sport of kings, Polo barely features any royalty. It’s not the Harry show, it’s the Nacho show.” The couple’s debut show broke various Netflix records and became a huge hit. In 2023, Harry released Heart of the Invictus, but the show didn’t garner the same kind of attention.
The Duke’s new project, Polo, set to premiere in December, won’t feature the Duke prominently. But there are rumors about the show being a tougher sell for audiences since Polo is not a mainstream sport. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
