"Six months after stepping down as working royals, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed an exclusive deal with Netflix that was said to be worth about $100 million. In August, the Sussexes extended their agreement with the streamer, but now they're reportedly getting a lot less money, and it's just a "first-look deal." Ratings for season two of Netflix's With Love, Meghan were much lower than season one, and it's unclear if there will even be a season three."
""My husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix; then, not dissimilar to Higher Ground and the Obamas' deal, once that had come to its term, the extension of it - which was such an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership - was now being in a first-look deal," the Duchess of Sussex said. "Which is also exciting because it gives us flexibility to go to our partners first, then at the same time, shop content that might not be the right fit for Netflix but has a home somewhere else.""
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed an exclusive Netflix deal reportedly worth about $100 million after stepping down as working royals. The couple later extended the agreement but shifted to a lower-paying first-look deal, reducing guaranteed earnings while gaining flexibility to present projects to other partners. Season two of With Love, Meghan drew much lower ratings than season one, casting doubt on a potential season three. A holiday special is scheduled for later this year. The first-look structure allows the couple to shop content that may be a better fit elsewhere while maintaining a partnership with Netflix.
