Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have revealed a renewed commitment to their Netflix collaboration by signing a new multi-year deal this week, which has been labeled a "first look deal." This arrangement will allow Netflix to have the initial opportunity on project proposals from their production outfit, Archewell. Although this deal is considered more flexible compared to their previous agreement, it dispels rumors that their partnership with Netflix would end.

Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to create more content for Netflix as they announce an extended partnership.
The couple expressed enthusiasm about their ongoing collaboration, with Meghan stating, "We are inspired to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally and celebrates our shared vision." While the specifics regarding the length and financial terms of the agreement remain undisclosed, it's notable that their initial deal, struck in 2020, was reportedly worth around $100 million.
This announcement coincides with the upcoming release of the second season of their cooking series, "With Love, Meghan," which will premiere later this month. Initial viewership for the series was limited, with the first season not breaking into Netflix's top 300 shows, achieving only 5.3 million views. In contrast, their documentary, "Harry & Meghan," reached a significantly larger audience with over 23 million views upon its debut.
In addition to the series, Archewell has plans for a special Christmas edition of "With Love, Meghan," which aims to showcase a festive celebration in Montecito. The program has also spawned a food and drink line known as As Ever, featuring products such as rosé wine and jams. Furthermore, a new project titled "Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within," produced by Harry and Meghan, is set to explore the uplifting story of an orphanage in Uganda amidst ongoing health challenges.
Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, noted the impact Harry and Meghan have on audiences worldwide, affirming that "their stories resonate everywhere." The reception of their previous work has demonstrated significant viewer interest, particularly with their intimate documentary series.
