Meghan Markle is shaking things up in the entertainment and lifestyle industries. She’s currently working on building her own line “As Ever,” which she released in April. Her lifestyle brand – introduction to this course notwithstanding – has moved at lightning speed. As a result, now she hopes to take it further by working with Netflix or aligning the same way. This collaboration comes as Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, maintain a lucrative deal with the streaming giant, reportedly worth over $100 million.
In addition to “As ever,” Markle’s production company, Archewell Productions, is actively developing a romantic drama film based on Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel “Meet Me At The Lake.” This new venture adds to the duo’s already-majestic roster of projects. Its goal is to connect with audiences all around the globe.
A Record-Breaking Docuseries and Upcoming Content
Markle’s Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” released in 2022, broke streaming viewership records on the platform. It was a purely personal, deeply human experience. Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Head of Global TV, noted the significance of the couple’s impact on the platform.
“The response to their work speaks for itself — Harry & Meghan gave viewers an intimate look into their lives and quickly became one of our most-watched documentary series.” – Bela Bajaria
If the success of “Harry & Meghan” is any indication, there’s tremendous opportunity ahead. Markle’s lifestyle and cooking series, “With Love, Meghan,” is roaring back into action for its second season! This thrilling new chapter will feature celebrity chefs, artists and friends matching wits and skills in high-pressure cooking competitions and imaginative DIY home improvement and design challenges.
December will bring a holiday special of “With Love, Meghan” for viewers to enjoy. The episode will showcase joyous family celebrations, bountiful Holiday Heritage feasts, and uplifting visions to gift making. This celebratory special will no doubt warm hearts, fill homes with happiness, and make for a wonderful viewing experience this holiday season.
Expanding the As Ever Brand
Markle’s production company is clearly prepared to continue growing the “As ever” brand into additional product categories. This fantastic expansion is made possible by their continued collaboration with Netflix.
“We’re proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As ever brand.” – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex
In a wider sense, Markle has pursued a multitude of entrepreneurial projects since leaving royal duties behind. Her small batch, handmade products, shingle under the name “With Love, Meghan,” routinely sell out in record time. This illustrates her unique genius for empathizing with the consumer.
Aside from philanthropic efforts, Markle and Prince Harry recently produced a documentary-short film about youth empowerment, called “Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within.” It’s scheduled to go live on Netflix in late 2023. Strangely, the latter couple is absent from this current film. This decision allows the project to stand out and become its own special initiative under their production umbrella.
Future Collaborations and Market Influence
Archewell Productions has a first-look agreement with Netflix, giving the streaming giant first dibs on programming created by the couple. With this innovative partnership, they’re able to collaboratively produce a breadth of inclusive content, bringing the artistic vision and content themselves to life.
Bajaria stressed the power of their partnership. She pointed out how key influencers, such as Markle and Prince Harry himself are, and how these stories echo globally.
“Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere.” – Bela Bajaria
One of their current undertakings, “All for our Future,” showcases Markle’s artistic vision. Taken together, they lay the groundwork for her status as an entertainment industry powerhouse. She is intentionally crafting her brand and developing content that matters. I very much look forward to seeing what further innovation comes from this creative collaboration!
