Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for the next chapter in their entertainment journey as their high-profile Netflix deal, signed in 2020, approaches its conclusion. While reports initially suggested an end to their collaboration with the streaming giant, insiders have since hinted at fresh projects already in development.
A source close to the Sussexes told The Sun, “The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple. Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series.”
Despite speculation that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached the end of their Netflix tenure, the couple is expected to enter a first-look agreement with the platform later this year, echoing a model similar to that of Barack and Michelle Obama, whose Higher Ground production company maintains a flexible collaboration with Netflix.
An insider confirmed to Page Six, “There are more TV projects coming soon with both the duke and duchess.” Though no official announcement has been made, the anticipation suggests that the Sussexes are not stepping away from the screen entirely.
Meanwhile, Meghan, now 43, is gearing up for the release of the second season of her lifestyle series, “With Love, Meghan,” which is set to premiere in September. The new episodes were filmed concurrently with the first season, which debuted on March 4.
The series’ performance has been the subject of mixed commentary. Netflix’s semi-annual “What We Watched” report placed “With Love, Meghan” at number 383 on the platform, recording 5.3 million views since its release.
Though the figure may appear modest at first glance, context reveals that the show ranked within the top five percent of all Netflix content — outperforming popular titles such as “The Great British Baking Show,” “Chef’s Table,” and even season nine of “Queer Eye.”
Behind the scenes, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is said to remain a staunch supporter of the couple, with reports suggesting he maintains a warm personal rapport with them, including regular private dinners.
Away from the cameras, Meghan continues to expand her As Ever lifestyle brand. Following the sell-out success of its debut rosé wine, the brand is preparing to introduce a champagne collection and a line of holiday products. A source familiar with the company shared with Page Six, “As a growing business, As Ever is continuing to explore growth opportunities that feel aligned with the brand’s core values and quality standards.”
They added, “The brand continues to evolve with new products that align with her vision for quality lifestyle goods at accessible price points.”
In tandem with these business developments, Meghan has made the decision to pause production on her podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.” Speaking candidly on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast, the Duchess said she wanted to devote her full energy to the growing demands of her brand.
“What an amazing opportunity, to pull back the curtain and let people see what’s happening at the start,” she said. “To have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who’ve been on that full trajectory, that are on the other side of success. To be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way.”
She added, “And to then take everyone’s advice, and mine included, and to say ‘I love that there’s so much excitement and desire for another season, but I need to focus on my business.’”
The podcast’s production company, Lemonada Media, is also undergoing transformation after being acquired by Swedish media group PodX, further signaling a shift in direction for Meghan’s audio work.
With several media and entrepreneurial irons in the fire, the Sussexes appear to be recalibrating their public strategy. Though their initial exclusive deal with Netflix may be sunsetting, the couple’s presence in the media landscape is far from fading.
As they transition into this next phase — with potential new TV content, a growing lifestyle brand, and selective media engagement — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to redefine their post-royal identity, embracing roles as producers, founders, and public figures navigating the modern celebrity-industrial complex.
Though Netflix may have reached the end of one chapter with the Sussexes, all signs point to a new storyline just beginning. Whether through streaming, branding, or entrepreneurial ventures, the couple remains firmly embedded in the global conversation — even if the format evolves.
