US EditionHarry and Meghan Sign New Netflix Deal on Reduced Terms
VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – The new multi-year Netflix deal for Archewell Productions offers more flexibility but is reportedly less lucrative than the original $100 million exclusive agreement from 2020.
- A New York Times report said on Monday that Netflix and Archewell Productions signed a first-look deal with Prince Harry and Meghan, which is worth less than their previous agreement.
- Typically, first-look agreements offer less lucrative terms, as Netflix shifts from its 2020 $100 million exclusive deal to a more flexible arrangement.
- Documented metrics showed the Harry & Meghan docuseries drew 23 million views in four days, and With Love, Meghan surpassed five million views in early 2025.
- Upcoming lineup includes With Love, Meghan season two later this month, a December holiday special, and a Ugandan orphanage documentary later this year.
- The Hollywood Reporter noted the deal as a ‘downgrade’, with Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos describing it as a passive discovery model.
