Prince Harry And Meghan's $100M Netflix Deal Reportedly 'Dead' Amid 'Dismal' Viewing Figures

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal is reportedly ending due to poor performance.

The Duchess's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan" failed to break Netflix's top 300, while Harry's "Polo" drew just 500,000 viewers.

Now, Netflix insiders claim there's no appetite for future projects, although one-off content or a potential tell-all remains possible if Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were to split.

Harry and Meghan's future with Netflix appears bleak after reports emerged that their latest projects underperformed on the platform.

According to a Netflix insider, Meghan's lifestyle series "With Love, Meghan" failed to make a mark, missing the streamer's top 300 shows for the first half of 2025, despite heavy promotion. Even reruns of "Suits," the show that launched her career, reportedly outperformed it.

Meanwhile, Harry's documentary "Polo" fared even worse, landing at a dismal 3,436 out of 7,000 titles, attracting just 500,000 viewers over six months.

Although Meghan had previously announced a second season of her series, an insider claims Netflix has no plans to renew their $100 million partnership, which ends this year.

"This deal is dead," the source claimed, per the Daily Mail. "She had everything going for her—name, platform, press—and the numbers were dismal. They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new."

Rob Shuter, former executive editor of OK! Magazine echoed these sentiments, reporting that Netflix has little interest in renewing its partnership with Harry and Meghan once their current deal wraps.

"The interest just isn't there anymore. They went from buzzy to background noise," a Netflix insider told him.

However, some industry watchers speculate that Netflix might maintain ties with the Sussexes for possible one-off projects — or even a future tell-all, should the couple split.

Beyond their hit docuseries "Harry & Meghan," most of the couple's content has struggled to gain traction.

Meghan's lifestyle series, "With Love, Meghan," which featured her cooking, gardening, and entertaining friends, performed poorly, lagging behind hundreds of other shows within six months of its release.

In contrast, reruns of "Suits," which first brought Meghan fame, drew 5.3 million viewers, rivaling hits like "Peaky Blinders," "Gossip Girl," and "Worst Ex Ever."

Generally, Harry and Meghan's other Netflix projects, including the duke's "Polo" series and the couple's "Live To Lead" documentary, have underperformed and failed to replicate the widespread success of their initial endeavor, "Harry & Meghan."

Meanwhile, two prominent North American brand experts have slammed Meghan, accusing her of "milking" her fame and delivering one of the worst brand launches they've ever seen.

Canadian lawyer Phillip Millar and California marketing executive Camille Moore, hosts of the "Art of the Brand" podcast, took aim at Meghan's lifestyle venture, As Ever, claiming it's nothing more than an attempt to cash in on her royal connection and celebrity status.

"I love sh-ting on people who suck. Meghan Markle sucks as far as I'm concerned," Millar said bluntly.

Describing the project as a misguided effort backed by "a confederacy of dunces," Millar accused the team behind As Ever of "just maximising the value from her fame that came from Suits and being a part of the Royal Family, and they're just milking that for everything they can."

Millar argued that As Ever lacks authenticity, suggesting Meghan is "pretending" to be a domestic icon. He further claimed that the public's eagerness to buy her wine, jam, crepe mix, and tea reveals "how gullible a lot of consumers are."

"She's not substantial," Millar continued. "I'm agitated by her so much because it is a deliberate misrepresentation of what she is, because she thinks she can pretend to be that while actually being this, and sucker people into buying her stuff, and every step of the way, she's failing because it's not legitimate. It's not intelligent. It's not well executed."

According to Millar, Meghan's brand lacked substance from the very beginning.

"There was nothing about her brand that was good from the start to a distinguishing eye," he said. "She was a fraud, what I can see from the beginning, who was just using opportunities to advance herself. Her brand wasn't one built on substance. It was based on using people."

"They're not executing anything well on any show on anything. But it shows how gullible a lot of consumers are," he added.
