Prince Harry and Meghan sign major Netflix deal to produce films and more
The Duchess of Sussex is heading back to her Hollywood roots.
After relocating to the United States earlier this year, the former Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, are about to embark on an exciting new project.
The couple has created their own production company, and have also signed a multiyear deal with Netflix to produce content for the streaming service, according to The New York Times.
The Sussexes, who currently reside in California, have yet to announce the name of their company but Netflix confirmed the news to TODAY and said the couple will be producing both films and series, including scripted series, documentaries, docu-series, features and children’s programming.
So, what type of content can you expect from the new producers? A Netflix spokesperson said the duo will focus on stories and issues that resonate with them personally. For instance, they'll definitely highlight issues that are near and dear to their nonprofit, Archewell.
The duke and duchess aren't wasting any time getting their production company up and running and already have several projects in development. For starters, viewers can look forward to an animated series about inspiring women and a nature docu-series.
Of course, the duchess is no stranger to nature documentaries and narrated Disneynature's "Elephant," which debuted on Disney Plus in April. Prince Harry also recently appeared in the documentary "Rising Phoenix," which focuses on the Paralympic Games and premiered last week on Netflix.
