Background on the Sussexes’ Netflix Deal
Harry and Meghan signed their five-year contract with Netflix in 2020, aiming to produce a variety of programming. Their first offering, the docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” released in 2022, provided an intimate look into their lives and departure from royal duties. However, subsequent projects, such as the animated series “Pearl,” were canceled, and their latest documentary, “Polo,” reportedly failed to resonate with audiences. An insider commented on the situation, noting:
“Fact is, Harry and Meghan were paid an exorbitant amount of money by Netflix and have little to show for it… the pressure is on for the Sussexes to deliver a hit.”
