Recent reports suggest that the royal couple is eyeing a "substantially increased payout" from Netflix following the culmination of the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike in November.
A source intimately connected with the couple revealed, "Harry and Meghan find themselves in a formidable position to negotiate an augmented payout from Netflix. Their content has resonated remarkably well with global audiences, attracting millions of viewers."
The initial agreement in 2020 saw Harry and Meghan enter into a lucrative five-year contract valued at a staggering £80 million ($100 million). The deal encompassed the development of children's programming, feature films, documentaries, and docuseries.
Since the agreement's inception, the Sussexes have been diligently crafting their six-part series, "Harry & Meghan," and the documentary "Harry's Heart of Invictus." Additionally, they secured the rights to adapt Carley Fortune's romantic novel, "Meet Me at the Lake," into a cinematic production.
While the exact figure remains undisclosed, speculation abounds that Harry and Meghan are seeking a considerable increase in their current deal.
Under the banner of their production company, Archewell Productions, the couple has already delivered two documentaries to Netflix— "Heart of Invictus" and "Meghan Markle: A Royal Life." Further projects for the platform are underway, cementing their status as sought-after content creators.
