Royal News: Meghan Markle’s £73 million Netflix deal ends soon, but a second season may be on the way. Reports say Meghan is in quiet talks with Netflix for another deal. People close to it whisper that the discussions are happening behind closed doors. Her £73 million Netflix contract ends this September. But this partnership isn’t over yet. Keep scrolling to know more.
Royal News: The Deal Nears
Everyone thought Netflix was done with the Sussexes. Now it looks like they want a second round. Word is that Meghan’s lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, is getting a new season under this fresh plan. They’re even aiming to drop it by autumn.
One Netflix insider told me, “A deal is being worked through right now.” But this time, the cheque might be smaller. From what I hear, Harry isn’t central to the talks. His shows like Heart of Invictus and the polo series didn’t make much noise. Meanwhile, With Love, Meghan pulled 5.3 million views earlier this year. Critics rolled their eyes, and viewers didn’t care.
They filmed Season 2 along with Season 1. Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever is stitched into Netflix’s game plan. “Netflix owns a piece of As Ever. Walking away would be like hitting yourself in the face,” said one insider.
Will Meghan’s New Series Keep Her Reign Going?
Netflix House plans to stock the As Ever jam and tea soon. They want Meghan to stay. Harry’s solo projects may have slipped, but Harry & Meghan in 2022 still stands as Netflix’s biggest docuseries ever. That win still carries weight.
Industry voices say her show plays best in the U.S., Netflix’s top market. “Top third on Netflix and you get another deal,” one source said.
They haven’t signed anything yet, but everyone’s acting like it is. For more royal updates, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily.
