Harry and Meghan to make shows with Netflix

GB NEWS 24 DESK//

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached a deal with streaming giant Netflix to make a range of programmes, some of which they may appear in.

“Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” said Prince Harry and wife Meghan.

“As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us,” they continued.

Netflix chief Ted Sarandos said he was “incredibly proud” the royal couple had made the company “their creative home”.

The multi-year deal will encompass documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.

It comes six months on from the couple stepping down from royal life and moving to California to live away from the media spotlight.

“Our lives, both independent of each other, and as a couple have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience, and the need for connection,” said the couple in a statement.

“Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope.
