Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended their creative partnership with Netflix through Archewell Productions, signing a multi-year, first-look deal. This extension continues the relationship that started with their initial five-year deal in 2020, as per Deadline.
The Hollywood Reporter stated that, in practice, the extension is a downgrade from the 2020 deal. Netflix has also partnered with Markle's lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The initial five-year deal that was signed between Netflix and Archewell Productions was valid until September this year. Both parties opted to renew the contract before it expired.
The collaboration between Archewell Productions and Netflix resulted in the production of projects such as Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead, among others.
