New “First Look” Deal on the Table?
Even if their main deal isn’t renewed, Harry and Meghan may still remain connected to Netflix through a separate “first look” agreement for future independent projects. Under such an arrangement, the streaming giant would get priority access to consider any new content from the couple.
Prince Harry is reportedly looking to focus on new documentary series, with themes likely centering on mental health and environmental issues — areas he has long been passionate about.
Despite these potential opportunities, not everything looks promising. Two of Archewell’s upcoming ventures — a romantic comedy adaptation of Meet Me At The Lake and a reimagining of Great Expectations — are said to be in a state of uncertainty and may never move forward.
Compounding the situation, Meghan’s first season of With Love, Meghan reportedly drew just 5.3 million views, ranking it at number 383 on Netflix — a modest performance that aligns with older titles like season two of Peaky Blinders (2014) and season four of Suits (2011), the legal drama where Meghan previously starred.
Exploring New Partnerships Beyond Netflix
As speculation grows around the likely expiration of their current contract, some industry voices believe Harry and Meghan may begin exploring other platforms.
Entertainment expert Nick Ede told Hello, “The end of the current Netflix contract between Meghan and Harry means that they are now open to offers from other streamers they haven’t worked with, like Amazon Prime, so potentially they may want to court those other streamers.”
