Netflix Clears The Air On The Sussexes Projects
Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria spoke about the speculation about the couple’s move into Hollywood at a recent Netflix event. According to Bela, Meghan and Harry are working on several ideas across television, film and documentary. Also, Bajaria shared that the industry has always been changing.
Bela shared that many deals end and begin every year. However, these routine decisions are not always able to make a headline. Bela added, “We still have a relationship with them. We have movies in development with them. We have an amazing doc with them. They have things in development on the TV and film side. Deals come and go all the time. And we don’t renew so many deals, those just dont get as much press for obvious reasons. There’s no juicy story there.”
Recently, the steamer stepped away from being an investor in Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. Moreover, there are no current plans for a third season of With Love, Meghan. Despite this, Netflix has been keeping the first look arrangement with the couple active. Bajaria shared a similar message two years back. The content officer hinted that nothing dramatic had happened behind the scenes.
Royal News: Meghan And Harry’s Upcoming Work And How Their Past Shows Performed
Meghan and Harry’s production banner Archwell already has a few titles in development. Tracy Oliver is adapting The Wedding Date as a feature film for the platform. And, another book, Meet Me At The Lake by Carley Fortune, will soon see screen adaptation with the same team involved.
The duo got strong momentum with their Harry and Meghan documentary. However, their other shows didn’t get the same reaction. Live To Live, Heart of Invictus and Polo struggled to get attention. Even With Love, Meghan had a low response during the second half of last year.
It happened during the release of the second season. It received two million views in four months. However, their holiday special did slightly better with 2.4M views. For more Royal News and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
