Harry and Meghan renew Netflix deal with multi-year extension

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have renewed their Netflix deal, extending their multimillion-pound partnership for film and TV projects in a multi-year agreement. The couple announced the extension as the second season of With Love Meghan approaches release, and Netflix confirmed a holiday special is planned for December. The deal, originally signed in 2020 for about £78 million ($100 million), produced five projects to date including Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus, Polo and Live to Lead. Pearl was cancelled in 2022.

Netflix says the partnership reflects the couple’s influence and storytelling reach. Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, called Harry and Meghan influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. Meghan said the partnership will expand to include the As ever brand, and Archewell Productions will continue to work across genres that resonate globally.

Statement from Bela Bajaria, Netflix chief content officer

"The response to their work speaks for itself."

Netflix assessment of audience reception

The renewal highlights Netflix’s ongoing appetite for high-profile, celebrity-led content and the Sussexes’ ability to draw sustained audience attention. It shows how streaming platforms balance long term investments with branding stories that travel beyond traditional documentary formats. At the same time, big budget deals invite scrutiny over value, audience reach, and how much personal narrative should shape a platform’s catalog. The extension also keeps Archewell Productions in the spotlight, signaling a broader strategy to build a diversified slate across genres.

Highlights

  • Stories built with care travel farther than numbers
  • A long partnership is a test of trust not hype
  • Creativity survives scrutiny when it stays true
  • Content that resonates travels beyond audiences

Budget and public reaction risk around Netflix deal

The extension involves a multi-year financial commitment from Netflix, estimated in the hundreds of millions, which could draw scrutiny over value and public reaction.
