Looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might (emphasis on might!) be parting ways with Netflix? Which would be a huge bummer for those of us obsessed with Meghan's lifestyle and cooking show, With Love, Meghan.
According to The Sun (and confirmed by People), Netflix will not renew their £100million deal with the Sussexes when it expires in September, and they've "mutually decided not to make an official announcement."
Per an anonymous source, "The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they’ve got all they can from the couple. Netflix were clever in that they got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary series, and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair. They’re not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time."
They added in part that "The content got weaker from there on but, frankly, for £20million a year, anything was better than nothing. There’s no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course."
Apparently Netflix is open to a "one-off project down the line," but the source adds that "for Harry, especially, this will be a blow. It’s a huge loss of revenue."
This all falls in line with what an insider somewhat dramatically told the Daily Mail: "This deal is dead."
As for what's next for the Sussexes, The Sun notes that streamer Paramount+ is "keen" to work with Harry and Meghan, so stay tuned (hopefully!) for that?
