- Duke and Duchess of Sussex have two projects lined up with Netflix
- The couple are set to be executive producers through Archewell Productions
- Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, have a deal with Netflix worth an estimated $100M
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to launch two new Netflix shows on cooking, gardening and polo as part of their ongoing $100 million deal with the streaming site.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly have two non-fiction projects in the works, which come off the back of the launch of 42-year-old Meghan’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The shows come as part of the deal brokered between the production arm of the couple’s company, Archewell, and the streaming giant back in 2020, which was worth a reported $100 million.
The first series will see Meghan ‘celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’, according to Deadline.
It comes as the Duchess continues to balance her TV work with her newly-launched lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation, the company behind Hulu’s The D’Amelio Show and A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology & the Aftermath.
The Duchess of Sussex is set to be an executive producer for Archewell, alongside Chanel Pysnik the company’s head of non-fiction.
The second series will focus on the glitzy world of polo.
It was primarily shot during the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center.
The show will lift the lid on the behind-the-scenes of the sport, exploring what it takes to compete at the highest level.
The couple are huge Polo fans, with Harry a regular at the Santa Barbara Polo Club with his team Los Padres and Meghan regularly showing up to cheer him on.
The prince will join Meghan and Pysnik as an executive producer on the second project.
It comes from the makers of hit Netflix shows Chef’s Table, Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? and Sex, Love & Goop.
