Netflix Extends Creative Pact with Archewell Productions

Netflix has extended its creative alliance with Archewell Productions, the production outfit founded by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

The new deal is a multi-year, first-look pact across film and TV. Netflix first aligned with Archewell in 2020 and since released Polo; With Love, Meghan; Heart of Invictus; Harry & Meghan and Live to Lead. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Netflix have also partnered on a lifestyle brand.

Harry & Meghan is Netflix’s fifth most popular documentary series of all time, while With Love, Meghan is the platform’s most-watched culinary show since its release.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, said: “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.”

Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, added: “Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself—Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series. More recently, fans have been inspired by With Love, Meghan, with products from the new As ever line consistently selling out in record time. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Archewell Productions and to entertain our members together.”

Archewell’s upcoming projects include a new season of With Love, Meghan and a special holiday episode, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration; the romance feature Meet Me at the Lake; and a documentary with Campfire Studios in association with Wontanara Productions, Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within.
