Archewell Productions Expands Partnership with Netflix for Film and TV Projects

Archewell Productions, Prince Harry and Meghan's media company, has extended its creative partnership with Netflix for a multi-year, first look deal covering all film and TV projects. The partnership has produced documentaries, scripted series, films, sports, and lifestyle programming. Recent releases include Harry & Meghan, With Love, Meghan, and Live to Lead.

Archewell Productions, the media company co-founded by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has extended its creative partnership with Netflix. This multi-year, first-look deal covers all film and television projects, reflecting a strategic move to leverage the streaming giant's extensive platform [1].

The original deal, signed in 2020, birthed several high-profile projects, including the documentary series "Harry & Meghan" and the lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan." The new arrangement, however, is a downgrade from the initial overall deal, shifting to a first-look deal similar to Netflix's recent moves with other influential figures like the Obamas [1].

Under the new agreement, Netflix will have the first opportunity to greenlight any projects developed by Archewell Productions. This includes upcoming projects such as the second season of "With Love, Meghan" and a holiday special, as well as the feature film adaptation of Carley Fortune's romance novel "Meet Me at the Lake" [1, 2, 3].

The partnership also expands to include Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand, "As ever," which has seen significant success with its viral products [1, 2, 3]. Netflix's Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, expressed enthusiasm about the continued collaboration, highlighting the couple's influential voices and the positive audience response to their content [1, 2, 3].

Archewell Productions has already made a significant impact on Netflix's content offerings, with "Harry & Meghan" becoming one of the most-watched documentary series and "With Love, Meghan" reaching the Global Top 10 TV list [3]. The company's strategy of diversifying its content portfolio aligns with Netflix's broader goals of delivering high-quality, engaging content to its global audience.
