The project marks the first animated series from Archewell Productions, which announced its first Netflix project, the docuseries <em>Heart of Invictus<\/em>, earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Markle will serve as an executive producer on <em>Pearl<\/em> alongside David Furnish (<em>Rocketman<\/em>, <em>Gnomeo &amp; Juliet<\/em>), Carolyn Soper (<em>Sherlock Gnomes<\/em>, <em>Tangled<\/em>) and Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Liz Garbus (<em>I&#8217;ll Be Gone in the Dark<\/em>, <em>What Happened, Miss Simone?<\/em>) and Dan Cogan (<em>Icarus<\/em>, <em>The Apoll<\/em>o).

The team collaborating on the series is first class, and Netflix is the perfect partner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soper said: \u201cAnimation is the perfect medium to bring this fun, heartfelt and inspiring story to life. Pearl is a character in which everyone will recognize a piece of themselves while absolutely rooting for her as she discovers so much about the world, both past and present, and how she fits into it. I am thrilled to be working with Meghan and such an illustrious team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garbus, co-founder of Story Syndicate, added: \u201cI have always been drawn to stories of strong women overcoming challenges and realizing their power. The idea of doing this in the context of a children&#8217;s series, one that is both entertaining and enlightening, with the strong woman Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, at its heart is thrilling. I have long wanted to work with the brilliant David Furnish, and I am so happy to be joining forces with him, Carolyn, Amanda and Archewell Productions to bring this project to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rynda said: \u201cI\u2019m so energized to be helping execute Meghan\u2019s creative vision in showcasing an empowerment story that entertains and inspires.
