British Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have announced new developments regarding their amended agreement with Netflix, as they prepare to embark on a new cinematic experience for the global platform.
This project falls under a long-term agreement that grants them what is known as a "first look" deal, allowing them to pitch their creative ideas to Netflix before any other entity. The new work will be produced through their joint production company, Archewell, and will be an adaptation of Yasmin Gregory's novel "The Wedding Date", first published in 2018 and a wide-ranging success that topped The New York Times bestseller lists. The team will not be limited to Harry and Meghan alone, as producer Tracy Reiners will also be involved in this cinematic project.
According to Deadline, the plot of "The Wedding Date" revolves around an unexpected encounter in an elevator that leads a politically ambitious woman to claim a stranger as her date to a wedding. Despite the heroine's loss of faith in romance, the events of the story show her that love can appear in the most unexpected moments, reshaping her beliefs and feelings.
Since beginning their collaboration with Netflix, Prince Harry and Meghan have presented a diverse range of works, including documentaries and special programs that have shed significant light on their humanitarian and charitable interests. Among the most prominent of these works are "Polo", "With Love", "Meghan", "Heart of Invictus", in addition to the documentary series "Harry & Meghan" and the program "Live to Lead".
The announcement of the production of content related to "Girl Scout Cookies" also marks the latest addition within the framework of the revised agreement between the couple and Netflix. It is worth noting that Prince Harry and Meghan had signed a new contract with the platform earlier this year, which was widely described as a scaled-down or abridged version of their initial agreement.
During her participation in the Fortune Impactful Women's Summit held in Washington last October, Meghan Markle spoke about the details of this agreement, explaining that the original agreement with Netflix was comprehensive, before being extended and amended to become more flexible and exclusive at the same time. She indicated that this new formula gives them the opportunity to present their projects to Netflix first, while retaining the possibility of offering some works that may not be entirely suitable for the platform to other distributors, which opens the door to greater diversity in the content they seek to produce.
From the "Daily Express": British Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle donated $50,000 last month to the "Masaka African Children's Children" organization through their joint production company Archewell and the GoFundMe platform, in a step that reflects their continued commitment to supporting humanitarian causes. Prince Harry and his wife have presented diverse works, including documentaries and special programs, focused on their humanitarian and charitable interests.
