Meghan Markle will still be tied to Netflix even if TV deal ends: Report
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's multi-million-dollar Netflix contract is set to expire in September 2025
Meghan Markle’s partnership with Netflix runs deeper than With Love, Meghan.
Reports emerged last week that when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s multi-million-dollar, five-year contract with the streaming giant expires in September 2025, it likely won’t be renewed following underwhelming ratings of her latest show, With Love, Meghan.
Other reports suggested that negotiations are still underway with at least two more seasons expected. Alternatively, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex might sign a ‘first look’ deal on future projects.
But even if no TV deals work out, Meghan will still be strongly tied to Netflix as she entered into business with them for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The brand was launched earlier this year in collaboration with Netflix’s Customer Products Group. Hence, Meghan shares the revenue from As Ever with Netflix, per Page Six.
“They’re NOT done, they have plenty coming up together,” a source told The Post via Page Six.
“I cannot imagine that Meghan and Netflix went into business together just for a year or two,” the insider added.
The former Suits actress, who turns 44 on August 4, launched her lifestyle brand back in April with products like jams, teas, and honeys. For her second drop in June, she added more jam flavours as well as flower sprinkles. On July 1st, she launched her first ever alcoholic beverage, a Napa Valley Rosé wine.
And just yesterday, she announced a new “vintage” version of the beverage.
Hence, it’s apparent that neither Meghan nor Netflix has any intention of slowing down when it comes to As Ever.
As the source pointed out, the fact that Netflix has "barely even acknowledged” the contract expiration unlike their “huge fuss” with the Obamas means that they’re still heavily invested in As Ever.
