Netflix and Harry & Meghan’s partnership faces tension over low ratings and shifting plans, despite denials.

Netflix and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s partnership is reportedly under strain due to communication issues, declining show ratings, and shifting creative priorities, despite both sides denying major problems. While their 2021 documentary drew high viewership, later projects under Archewell Productions have underperformed, leading to frustration at Netflix. The couple downgraded their deal in 2023 to a first-look arrangement, and new scripted projects face uncertainty amid a pivot toward smaller content like short videos.
