Harry and Meghan Set Netflix Scripted Polo Drama With Archewell and Fake Empire

The project underscores that their Netflix partnership continues despite recent reports of a rift.

Overview

  • Netflix is developing a scripted series about rival polo teams in Wellington, Florida, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex executive producing.
  • Archewell Productions is partnering with Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire, and Francisca X. Hu will write and executive produce.
  • The drama builds on the couple’s 2024 Polo docuseries, which followed the U.S. Open Polo Championship and drew limited viewership.
  • Netflix and representatives for the couple have rejected reports of a split, citing ongoing film and TV work under a multi‑year first‑look deal.
  • Netflix has ended its investment in Meghan’s As Ever lifestyle brand, and the company says the label will continue independently.
