Netflix is reportedly ending its collaboration with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The couple’s production company, Archewell Productions, had partnered with the streaming service for a while, creating shows like With Love, Meghan. However, the second season of this series did not perform well, leading to a significant drop in viewership. As a result, the likelihood of a third season is now slim following Netflix’s apparent decision.

Insiders at Netflix have indicated a shift in sentiment towards Harry and Meghan, with sources close to the couple suggesting that the relationship with the streaming platform has not been as smooth as expected. Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s chief content officer, previously expressed positive sentiments about working with the couple since they struck a deal in September 2020. The initial five-year agreement is set to expire in 2025, and the chances of a renewal seem unlikely at this point.

A critical analysis in Variety magazine has criticized Harry and Meghan’s partnership with Netflix, highlighting issues such as repetitive storytelling and underwhelming ratings for shows like With Love, Meghan. The magazine suggests that Netflix’s collaboration with the couple may dwindle, potentially impacting their future in show business.

With the reported end of their Netflix partnership, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are exploring new opportunities. They are planning a significant visit Down Under, which is seen as a crucial moment for them. Meghan continues to focus on her business ventures, including her As Ever products featured in their Netflix productions.

Netflix’s Bajaria commended Archewell as a collaborative partner, praising Harry and Meghan for their engagement in the storytelling process and their unique global perspective that resonates with Netflix’s audience.
