Harry and Meghan's Netflix Deal Faces New Bombshell

UNITED STATES, JUL 23 – The $165 million deal ends due to declining viewership, with their show ranking 383rd and 5.3 million views in early 2025, prompting plans for more cautious media projects.

  • Negotiations with Netflix quietly concluded the $165 million deal with Archewell Productions after four years, with Netflix opting not to renew, citing insufficient return on investment.
  • Underperformance emerged as a key factor, as With Love, Meghan underperformed and Harry’s polo documentary attracted only about 500,000 viewers.
  • After stepping back from royal duties, the Sussexes signed the 2020 deal promising ‘impactful’ series, and both parties quietly agreed to part ways without an announcement.
  • Sources say the fallout, with Netflix opting not to renew the deal, is a major financial and reputational blow, risking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Montecito lifestyle without steady revenue.
  • Discussions for a first-look deal, with Paramount+ as a potential partner, are underway for future projects, following the conclusion of their Netflix agreement.
