Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially landed two new shows on Netflix, marking their latest venture in the world of entertainment. The royal couple signed a lucrative deal with the streaming giant last year, and now their first projects are starting to take shape.
The first show, titled “Heart of Invictus,” will focus on the Invictus Games, a sporting event for wounded, injured, or sick armed services personnel and veterans. The series will follow individuals as they prepare for the competition, showcasing their resilience and determination. Harry, who founded the Invictus Games in 2014, will serve as an executive producer on the show.
In a statement, the Duke of Sussex expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “Since the very first Invictus Games back in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own exceptional way to a mosaic of resilience, determination, and resolve. This series will give communities around the world a window into the moving and uplifting stories of these competitors on their path to the Netherlands next year.”
The second show, which is currently untitled, will focus on a topic that hits close to home for Meghan – female empowerment. The series will feature a documentary-style format, exploring powerful and inspiring stories of women around the world who are making a difference in their communities. Meghan, who has been a vocal advocate for gender equality, will also serve as an executive producer on the project.
The couple’s production company, Archewell Productions, has been busy developing a slate of content for Netflix, with a focus on creating programming that informs, inspires, and uplifts audiences. The new shows mark just the beginning of what is expected to be a long and successful partnership between Harry, Meghan, and the streaming giant.
Netflix’s co-CEO and chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, expressed his excitement about working with the royal couple, saying, “From the moment they shared their vision for Archewell Productions, the team at Netflix has been hugely excited to partner with them. They are unabashedly inspiring, and as we have seen with their work together on ‘Heart of Invictus,’ the power of their storytelling is undeniable.”
Fans of Harry and Meghan can look forward to seeing these new projects on Netflix in the coming months. With their unique perspectives and dedication to making a positive impact, the royal couple is sure to captivate audiences with their storytelling prowess.
