Fans of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been hit with disappointing news, as reports suggest the couple’s high-profile deal with Netflix is effectively over.
While Meghan recently announced a second season of her cooking and lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, insiders told the Daily Mail that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s $100 million contract with Netflix is unlikely to be renewed. The source described the deal as "dead," with Netflix executives reportedly having "no appetite for anything new" from the royal couple after what were described as underwhelming viewership figures.
Royal expert Rob Shuter shared insights from a Netflix insider, stating,
“This deal is dead. She had everything going for her—name, platform, press—and the numbers were dismal. They’re just waiting for the credits to roll. They’re letting it expire without drama.”
The streaming giant reportedly saw little traction from With Love, Meghan, which failed to break into Netflix’s top 300 programs for the first half of 2025. Similarly, Prince Harry’s polo documentary drew lackluster engagement, attracting just 500,000 viewers over six months.
The couple’s multi-year deal, inked in 2020 with much fanfare, is set to expire later this year. Once hailed as a groundbreaking partnership that would showcase inspiring, original content from the Sussexes, the collaboration appears to have fizzled out quietly.
Another source at Netflix summed up the sentiment bluntly:
“The interest just isn’t there anymore. They went from buzzy to background noise.”
As the curtain falls on one of the most talked-about celebrity streaming deals in recent memory, it remains to be seen what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s next media move will be — and whether they can recapture the public’s attention with future projects.
