Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan: The couple slip into the producer role for Netflix

Harry and Meghan landed a deal with the streaming service Netflix! The couple will slip into the producer role.

Prince Harry (35) and Duchess Meghan (39) have landed a big job. The couple has founded their own production company and will produce content exclusively for Netflix, as the "New York Times" first reported. The multi-year contract includes the production of scripted series, documentary series, documentaries, children's formats and feature films.

The Sussex couple would like to dedicate themselves to matters close to their hearts in the productions and support topics that their newly founded, non-profit organization Archewell also has in focus. Several projects are already in development, including a nature documentary and an animated series that focuses on inspiring women. "Through our work with various organizations, we have drawn attention to people and their concerns around the world, and now we want to create content that informs but also gives hope," the couple explains in a statement.

Netflix as a "creative home"

"Harry and Meghan have inspired millions of people around the world with their authenticity, their optimism and their leadership," said Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos in a statement. “We're incredibly proud of you choosing Netflix as your creative home – and look forward to sharing stories with you that can help build persistence and increase understanding for audiences around the world. "

In their new role as parents, it is important to them to create inspiring family programs and to promote powerful, truthful storytelling, emphasize Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. "We're excited to be working with Ted and the team at Netflix, whose unprecedented reach will help us share high-impact content that can create change."

Famous role models

Prince Harry recently made his Netflix debut: The Royal also had a say in the documentary "Rising Phoenix", which shows the history of the Paralympic Games and individual showcase athletes. With their Netflix deal, Harry and Meghan are following the example of numerous stars such as Barack (59) and Michelle Obama (56), Shonda Rhimes (50) and Ryan Murphy (54), who have all realized projects for the streaming giant. According to the "New York Times" Netflix lets a lot jump for the cooperation with well-known stars. The deal with Harry and Meghan could be around $ 100 million.

The Sussex couple, who formally resigned from their duties in the British royal family as Senior Royal in late March, recently bought a house in the California coastal town of Santa Barbara and have lived there with their one-year-old son Archie since then. Since then, it has been eagerly awaited which career paths the two will take.
