Is Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal being renewed? Here's what we know
While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines with multi-million dollar deals with the likes of Netflix and Spotify, it seems that the last of Harry and Meghan's media contracts isn't getting extended. You might recall that the Royal pair had agreed to part ways with Spotify in 2023 after the streamer decided not to renew their Archetypes podcast for a second season. The podcast had been part of a $25 million deal made in 2020 after they left the UK for the US. The original Netflix partnership saw the couple sign a reported $100 million deal in 2020 and now sources are telling The Sun this deal is also not being renewed. The source said: 'There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.' Meghan Markle in With Love, Meghan. Pic: Netflix People spoke to a Hollywood insider about the rumours, and they added that the deal not being extended 'reflects a shift in Netflix's broader business strategy'. One of the reasons this news might come as a surprise to many is that The Duchess' lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, had been renewed for a second season, but it turns out, it has already been filmed with Chrissy Teigen being the first confirmed guest star. The first season was released on March 4, 2025, after being delayed due to the fires in Los Angeles earlier in the year, and recent figures released by Netflix shows it ranked No 383 with 5.3 million views.

She also launched her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, alongside the series, and Netflix is also a partner on the brand.

The former President and First Lady had a similar multi-project agreement with Netflix which later evolved into a first-look agreement, so it doesn't mean the company won't team up with the Sussexes again down the line.
