Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced two new projects for Netflix that will move them into the nonfiction field. The couple signed a deal with the streaming giant last year through their Archewell Productions banner, focusing on the lifestyle and sports categories.
Markle, best known for her role on Suits, will executive produce and host the series from the comfort of her beautiful kitchen. The series will be executive produced by Leah Harriton, the executive producer of Selena Gomez's cooking show, Selena + Chef.
The second project touches on one of Harry's passions: polo. Prince Harry's untitled series, which is currently filming the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, will be filmed from every conceivable angle to show the glory of this majestic sport. is. Prince Harry is not scheduled to star in the film, but he is expected to appear occasionally.
According to reports, Markle wants to emulate the success of lifestyle entrepreneurs like Joanna Gaines and Gwyneth Paltrow. Industry sources say the Netflix project could be a follow-up to her previous blog, The Tig, which aimed to compete with America's best lifestyle figures.
Their Netflix debut project, “Harry & Meghan,” was a smash hit, viewed by more than 81 million households around the world in its first three weeks. But there was a clear warning from lifestyle trend writer Rachel Richardson that Markle must stay real if she wants to compete with the big names.
Markle's recent deals include a partnership with Lemonada Media to produce podcasts. The deal with Netflix will allow the couple to expand their media footprint, producing a wide range of shows from the deeply personal to the wonderfully funny.
