Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s $100 Million Netflix Deal not Renewed

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Netflix in 2020, but according to a recent report, it won’t be renewed after it ends this September. Netflix seems content with how things went initially, having produced a widely talked-about show and drawing in viewers. There’s no hard feelings on either side, it’s simply a matter of the deal naturally running its course.

A Hollywood source also confirmed that the contract will wrap up this fall, but it’s likely there won’t be any formal statements made. However, season two of Meghan Markle’s lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, is still set to debut later this year. Chrissy Teigen will be the first guest star on the program, which features Meghan sharing tips on cooking, gardening, and entertaining.

Netflix’s strategy with the initial documentaries from Harry and Meghan was smart—it attracted attention and viewers, knowing it could be a highlight of the content produced by the couple. Their documentary series, Harry & Meghan, broke records with over 81 million hours viewed globally in its first week, becoming Netflix’s most-watched documentary debut.

Despite the deal wrapping up, the second season of With Love, Meghan, and Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, As ever, are scheduled to continue. The show has garnered millions of views, solidifying Meghan’s presence in the streaming entertainment landscape. The success of the first season and documentary series proved beneficial for both the couple and Netflix.
