Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will embark on two new Netflix projects have been revealed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Archewell Productions revealed two new nonfiction series are in the “early stages” of production at Netflix.
Deadline reports that a series curated by Meghan, 42, (who is also serving as an executive producer), will “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship.” The series will be directed by Michael Steed, who worked on Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, with Leah Hariton as show runner, who was a producer on Selena Gomez’s Selena + Chef cooking show on HBO.
The second project will “provide viewers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo” and was primarily shot at the U.S. Open Polo Championship. Harry, 39, has been an amateur polo player for years and often plays in charity matches, including a flagship fundraiser for Sentebale, the charity Harry co-founded with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 to help children and young people affected by poverty, inequality and HIV/AIDS in southern Africa. According to a statement on the project, “known primarily for its aesthetic and social scene, the series will pull the curtain back on the grit and passion of the sport, capturing players and all it takes to compete at the highest level.” It is unknown, however, if Prince Harry will participate on camera.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are both serving as executive producers on the project, primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Florida, while Miloš Balać (Welcome to Wrexham) is the showrunner. Titles and release dates for the two shows are expected to be announced in the coming months.
