- Variety reported, citing unnamed insiders, that Netflix is 'done' with the couple and that the partnership has been 'far from a fairy tale,' a characterization Netflix called 'absolutely inaccurate.'
- Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever confirmed it will operate independently after ending Netflix’s backing, with both sides describing the move as an amicable shift.
- Performance has weighed on the partnership’s scope: With Love, Meghan has not been renewed after low view counts, and the couple’s broader Netflix pact was scaled back to a first‑look arrangement in 2025.
- Archewell still lists projects at Netflix, including a film adaptation of Meet Me at the Lake and the documentary short Masaka Kids, while the Sussexes and their lawyer have formally denied several behavioral claims in the Variety piece.
