According to a public relations expert, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Netflix contract is on thin ice.
The Sussexes appear to have better options than Netflix for the future of their production company, Archewell Productions.
According to recent reports, the team has a terrific option to Netflix in an agreement with Paramount that will provide them more creative freedom.
According to Lynn Carratt, a public relations expert, “it could be quite likely that Netflix will pull the plug on their [deal] with Meghan and Harry when it ends in early 2025”.
She stated: “We know they are still working on a handful of unscripted shows and a TV show for Netflix, as well as the film Meet Me at the Lake, but regrettably, they have only three projects in three years, the docuseries Harry and Meghan, which broke streaming records: Heart of Invictus and Live to Lead about Inspiring World Leaders.”
Lynn stated that while Harry and Meghan “seem to be upping the ante on producing shows for Netflix this year,” it may be “a little bit too late.”
She suggested that “Paramount would be a better-suited streaming service for Meghan and Harry because I believe they will have more creative freedom on the projects they choose.”
“If they sign a deal with Paramount in 2025, I think Meghan will likely want to revisit her passion project, the animated series ‘Pearl’, which Netflix canned before production even started,” she went on to say. “There is also talk of Meghan making her directing debut in 2024, and again, I think she’d love the opportunity to direct some shows for Paramount and build her profile as a director.”
