In a revelation that has sent ripples through the entertainment world, Tan France has publicly stated that there are currently 'no plans' for a second season of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's Netflix podcast, 'Archetypes'.
The 'Queer Eye' star, a close friend and collaborator of Meghan's, made the candid disclosure during an interview, suggesting the groundbreaking interview series may have reached its conclusion after just one season.
A One-Season Wonder?
'Archetypes' launched with significant fanfare in 2022 as part of the Sussexes' multi-million dollar content deal with Netflix. The podcast saw Meghan engage in intimate conversations with high-profile guests like Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, and Mindy Kaling to dissect and challenge the labels that hold women back.
Despite its star-studded lineup, France's comments suggest the project may not have met the streaming service's internal metrics for renewal, leaving its future in limbo.
What's Next for the Sussexes' Netflix Deal?
This news raises questions about the overall health of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's partnership with Netflix. While 'Archetypes' appears shelved, the couple are known to be working on other projects, including a documentary and a series inspired by themes of interest to them.
Industry analysts will be watching closely to see if this is an isolated decision or a sign of a broader strategic shift in Netflix's collaboration with Archewell Productions.
For now, fans of the Duchess's foray into podcasting will have to content themselves with re-listening to the first and potentially only season of 'Archetypes'.
