Among the most important blanket deals Netflix has reached, none have made world headlines other than the Archewell Productions deal when it was announced by Netflix. Here’s a continual look at every project coming to Netflix featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
First announced in September 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a comprehensive production agreement with Netflix with their newly formed production company. Some sources claimed they were offered $ 100 million for the deal.
The couple have gone through a tumultuous few years having left the Royal Family in favor of getting out of the royal limelight (aka Megxit).
Archewell’s website (which also lists the couple’s efforts outside of Netflix) states that Archewell will “use the power of storytelling to embrace our shared humanity and duty of truth through a compassionate lens.”
Obama’s deal with Netflix through its production company Higher Ground Productions also drew similar criticism, yet they have become incredibly productive for Netflix with 17 projects launched or currently in development.

First announced in April 2021, Invictus Heart it will be the first title to come out of the exit agreement.
For those unaware of what the Invictus Games are, they are the equivalent of the Olympics, but for injured service personnel. Prince Harry served as the founder of the international sporting event in 2014.
The documentary series will follow athletes training for the next series of games that are currently postponed until 2022 to be held in The Hague, Netherlands.
Behind the documentary series will be Oscar-winning director Orlando von Einsiedel and producer Joanna Natasegara (Evelyn, The white helmets, Virunga)
Perla
Writes: Animated series
This new animated series will be directed by Amanda Rynda, known for DC Super Hero Girls and The noisy house.
The series will follow a 12-year-old girl who goes on heroic adventures inspired by the most influential women in history.
Along with the announcement of the animated series, Meghan issued a statement with the following:
“Like many girls her age, our heroine Pearl is on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to overcome life’s daily challenges. I am delighted that Archewell Productions, in partnership with the powerful Netflix platform, and these incredible producers, is bringing you together this new animated series, celebrating extraordinary women throughout history. David Furnish and I were eager to unveil this special series and I am delighted to announce it today. “
Rumored Duchess of Cambridge Documentary
US Weekly (or US Magazine, as they are sometimes known) reported in mid-August 2021 that Duchess Kate and Meghan Markle had been talking about “collaborating” on a Netflix project.
Naturally, there is nothing confirmed in this case so pinch of salt, but they report that the couple are looking to work on a documentary that will “highlight Kate’s charity work and the great impact she has had with her philanthropy.”
The project looks a lot like the 2020 release of Becoming who followed first lady Michelle Obama as she toured the United States for her book launch.
