In an exclusive report, Deadline has revealed that Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry are set to collaborate with Netflix on two upcoming non-fiction projects. These latest endeavors are part of the couple's overall deal with the streaming giant, signed in 2020 under their production banner, Archewell Productions.

The first project will feature Meghan Markle celebrating the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. Produced by Sony Pictures Television's The Intellectual Property Corporation, known for shows such as Hulu's The D'Amelio Show and A&E's Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath, the series promises to provide viewers with insights into Meghan's passions. The Duchess herself, along with Chanel Pysnik, will serve as executive producers for Archewell Productions, alongside Hariton and Aaron Saidman, and Eli Holzman for IPC.

On the other hand, the second project will delve into the world of professional polo. Shot primarily at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center, the series aims to shed light on the sport's aesthetic and social scene. While Prince Harry has been an avid polo player and has often been seen playing internationally, this series aims to uncover the grit and passion that lie behind the scenes. Produced by Boardwalk Pictures, the same company responsible for Netflix's Chef's Table and other notable shows, the project will be executive produced by Prince Harry and Meghan, along with Pysnik, and Andrew Fried, Sarina Roma, and Dane Lillegard for Boardwalk Pictures, and Balać and Ian Samplin.

Both projects are still in the early stages of production and remain untitled for now. These new ventures come after the release of the Harry & Meghan docuseries on Netflix in December 2022, which featured six episodes. The couple has also been involved in other Netflix projects, including Live To Lead, an interview series with notable figures such as Greta Thunberg and Gloria Steinem, and Harry's Heart of Invictus documentary series.

Meghan's recent podcast deal with Lemonada Media, announced in February, is yet another addition to her growing portfolio. The collaboration will see her launch a new podcast series, with Lemonada Media also distributing her previous Spotify series, Archetypes, on all podcast platforms.

According to Bela Bajaria, Netflix's content chief, the streaming giant has several projects in development, including a movie and a scripted series. With their diverse range of projects, Meghan and Prince Harry are continuing to make their mark in the entertainment industry, while also focusing on important issues and delivering meaningful content to viewers around the world.
