The expatriate royal is actually pitching several spec scripts that he wrote, most of which are comedies.

Two are action movies.

All are awful.

A royal production indeed: Harry, Meghan make massive Netflix deal

Netflix and … Sussex?

As expected, Prince Harry and Meghan have officially gone Hollywood. The couple have signed a Netflix production deal less than a year after announcing their step back from royal duties in the United Kingdom, an endeavor that theoretically put them one step closer to the streamer’s Emmy-winning royal drama “The Crown.”

Fan-casting aside, the British prince and former actress will produce films and series for the streaming giant. That includes scripted series, docuseries, documentaries, features and children’s programming, The Times confirmed Wednesday. The news comes after they were rumored to be shopping a TV series and making trademark moves in the industry.

“Our lives, both independent of each other, and as a couple have allowed us to understand the power of the human spirit: of courage, resilience and the need for connection,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement to The Times. “Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope. “

More specifically, they’ll focus on creating a wide range of programs about stories and issues that resonate with them personally, including highlighting issues that their nonprofit foundation, Archewell, is working on.

Harry and Meghan, whose son, Archie, is 15 months old, added that making inspirational family programming is important to them as is “powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens.” They said that Netflix’s reach will help them “share impactful content that unlocks action.” – Source
