The future of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s multi-million-pound deal with Netflix is under scrutiny, with reports suggesting the streaming giant may not renew their contract. The couple, who signed the deal in 2020 after stepping back from royal duties, have produced several projects under their Archewell Productions banner, including the controversial docuseries Harry & Meghan.
Why the Deal Could Be at Risk
Industry analysts point to shifting priorities at Netflix, which has been cutting costs and reevaluating its content strategy. While the Sussexes’ projects have garnered attention, their long-term commercial viability remains uncertain. "Netflix is focusing on proven hits," an insider revealed. "High-profile deals like Harry and Meghan’s are being reassessed."
What’s Next for Archewell?
If the partnership ends, the couple may pivot to other platforms or explore independent production avenues. Their recent projects, including the Live to Lead docuseries and Meghan’s animated show Pearl (later axed), have had mixed success. "They still have a global audience," says a media expert, "but they’ll need to adapt."
Public Reaction and Royal Fallout
The potential split has reignited debates about the Sussexes’ media strategy and their relationship with the royal family. Critics argue their Netflix ventures have further strained ties, while supporters praise their efforts to share their story.
As negotiations continue, all eyes are on whether Harry and Meghan can secure their next big break—or if their Hollywood chapter is nearing its end.
