Netflix rides to the rescue for Meghan and Harry – again

After a catastrophic 2023, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have taken some time to regroup and rethink. Now they have decided to grace us with their decision on to how to re-enter the public sphere in glory once again. Send for Netflix!

Not that they’ve put it quite like that. Instead, Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, has announced that their $100 million (£78 million), five year deal with Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Productions will continue through 2024. Speaking at an industry event in Hollywood, Bajaria commented that the pair ‘have a bunch [of projects] in development’. These are expected to include a mixture of features, potentially including an adaptation of the romance novel Meet Me At The Lake to which the couple bought the rights last year. Most ominously, Bajaria also said the pair had ‘a couple of unscripted things’ in the works. Yes, it’s looking likely that there will be some sort of follow-up to 2022’s interminable series Harry & Meghan.
