Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Extend Netflix Partnership with New Deal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are extending their partnership with Netflix through a multiyear, first-look deal for all their film and television projects, including season 2 of "With Love, Meghan," a holiday special, and new As Ever products. The deal allows Netflix to have first dibs on their projects, but Harry and Meghan can shop them to other companies if Netflix declines. Their lifestyle business, As Ever, will also continue to partner with Netflix.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have extended their partnership with Netflix through a multiyear, first-look deal for all their film and television projects. The agreement, announced on July 2, 2025, includes season two of "With Love, Meghan," a holiday special, and new products from their lifestyle brand, As Ever. The deal allows Netflix to have first dibs on their projects, but Harry and Meghan can shop them to other companies if Netflix declines. Their lifestyle business, As Ever, will also continue to partner with Netflix [1].

The new deal is a shift from the couple's initial 2020 agreement with Netflix, which granted the streaming giant exclusive rights to their film and TV work for $100 million. Instead, this new agreement provides Netflix with the opportunity to see and potentially invest in all of Archewell Productions' projects first [1]. This approach aligns with Netflix's strategy, which has seen similar transitions with other high-profile content creators like the Obamas' Higher Ground Productions [1].

The deal comes after Netflix and Archewell Productions' original deal was rumored to not be renewed, leading to questions about Harry and Meghan's future with the streamer. However, the new agreement solidifies their relationship, with Netflix expressing enthusiasm about their continued collaboration [2]. Meghan Markle stated, "We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision" [2].

Netflix and Archewell Productions are developing multiple projects together, including season two of "With Love, Meghan," which will premiere in August. The lifestyle series has become Netflix's most-watched culinary show since its release, amassing over 5 million viewers. The second season will see Meghan cooking and working on DIY projects with special guests, though Netflix has yet to announce who will appear in the coming episodes [1]. Additionally, Netflix and Archewell will release "With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration," a holiday special, in December [1].

The deal also includes the film adaptation of Carley Fortune's bestselling novel "Meet Me at the Lake," which Archewell Productions bought the rights to in 2023. The production company has not yet announced any updates on the project, including a director, screenwriter, cast, or release date [1]. Furthermore, Netflix will air "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within," a documentary short produced by Campfire Studios in association with Archewell Productions, in the second half of 2025 [1].

As Ever, Meghan's lifestyle brand, will continue to expand into new product categories with new items being released throughout the remainder of the year [2]. The brand, developed in partnership with Netflix, has seen products like homemade preserves and shortbread cookie mix sell out quickly [2].
