Netflix Ends $100M Deal With Harry and Meghan

After five years, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle much-talked-about $100 million deal with Netflix is coming to an abrupt end. Reports indicate that the streaming service won’t be renewing the contract when it expires this September, signaling a big change for the couple’s ventures since stepping back from royal duties.

Their 2022 docuseries, “Harry & Meghan,” made quite a splash, but subsequent projects like Meghan’s lifestyle show “With Love, Meghan” and their polo docuseries didn’t manage to keep up the same level of interest.

Sources from within the industry say the decision to part ways was mutual, as Netflix shifts its focus from pricey exclusive deals to more standalone projects.

Why Netflix Walked Away

What started as an exciting collaboration lost its appeal as viewer numbers dipped. “Harry & Meghan” attracted 28 million households right off the bat, but the polo series only managed to rake in around 500,000 views worldwide, and “With Love, Meghan” barely made it into Netflix’s top 300 in 2025. One source summed it up bluntly:

“Netflix got a hell of a lot of viewers for the first documentary and knew, realistically, it would prove the zenith of content from the Montecito pair. They’re not unhappy—they got the initial hits.”

Even with the split, Season 2 of “With Love, Meghan” is still set to premiere this fall. However, insiders are saying Netflix has “zero interest” in any future collaborations, which leaves the couple to look towards other platforms like Paramount+.

What’s Next for Harry and Meghan?

As they close this chapter with Netflix, the Sussexes might be feeling some financial strain. Reports suggest the upkeep of their $14.65 million mansion in Montecito, along with staff expenses, heavily relies on such lucrative deals. Meanwhile, Meghan is putting more focus on her lifestyle brand, As Ever, while Harry could potentially return to projects that center around advocacy.

A Hollywood insider put it succinctly:

“There’s no animosity—things just ran their course. Meghan’s priority is her brand now, and Netflix won’t play second fiddle.”
