Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will finally launch two new shows on Netflix after teasing fans about their content.

The pair are planning two non-fiction projects, which form part of the deal they signed with the streaming giant in 2020.


The first series will see the Duchess of Sussex celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship. It will be produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.

Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, will have great people on their team, including Leah Hariton as showrunner alongside Michael Steed.

The Duchess of Sussex and Chanel Pysnik will serve as executive producers for Archewell Productions alongside Hariton, Aaron Saidman and Eli Holzman.

It comes after Meghan launched her new business venture American Riviera Orchard last month.

Meghan also teased big new projects for 2024 when she appeared on the red carpet at the Variety Gala last November.

The duchess said: "We have so many exciting things on the slate. I can't wait until we can announce them, but I'm just really proud of what we're creating. My husband is loving it too which is really fun."

The second series that Meghan and Harry will release on Netflix will follow the world of professional polo.

Shot primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Center, the series will explore the sport, known primarily for its social scene.

King Charles would frequently play polo with Prince William, 41, and the Duke of Sussex during their youth.

The series will attempt to show what it takes to compete in the sport at the highest level. Prince Harry is a keen polo player and is often photographed playing internationally.

Boardwalk Pictures will produce the series, while Miloš Balać is serving as showrunner.

Prince Harry and Meghan will be the executive producers alongside Pysnik for Archewell Productions.

Both untitled shows are in the early stages of production.

The pair’s most well-known project at Netflix, the Harry & Meghan docuseries from December 2022, featured six episodes and included bombshell claims about members of the Royal Family.

Netflix content chief Bela Bajaria recently said the duke and duchess have a “bunch” of projects in development including a movie and a scripted series.
