The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to embark on a new chapter in their media journey with the announcement of two nonfiction Netflix series focusing on lifestyle and polo. The shows, produced by the couple’s Archewell Productions company, promise to offer viewers a unique glimpse into the worlds of cooking, gardening, entertaining, friendship, and the high-stakes realm of professional polo.
Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will take on the role of producer for the lifestyle series, which aims to explore the joys and intricacies of various aspects of daily life. While specific themes and topics have yet to be revealed, the series is expected to showcase the duchess’s passion for creating meaningful connections and celebrating the simple pleasures that bring people together.
Meanwhile, the polo series will grant unprecedented access to the world of professional polo, with a particular focus on the prestigious US Open Polo Championship in Florida. Prince Harry, an avid polo player himself, will serve as a producer on this series, bringing his unique perspective and expertise to the project. The show will delve into the grit and passion that lies beneath the sport’s glamorous exterior, capturing the dedication and skill of players competing at the highest level.
Archewell Productions, founded by the Sussexes in 2020, has already made its mark in the documentary landscape with the release of three previous projects in collaboration with Netflix. “Heart of Invictus,” which aired in August 2022, followed a group of service members on their journey to the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style sporting competition established by Prince Harry in 2014. The company also released the thought-provoking “Live to Lead” series and the highly anticipated “Harry & Meghan” documentary in December 2022, the latter of which shed light on the couple’s experiences within the royal family.
