A lack of content was a driving reason behind Spotify’s decision to part ways with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle earlier this month—in nearly three years and with a deal worth $20 million, the couple only produced 13 podcast episodes. The couple also has a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix, and last December produced a huge hit in their eponymous docuseries Harry & Meghan. But now, too, the streaming giant is asking for more content, per The Mirror. The couple have reportedly so far only been paid half of their signing amount from Netflix and are looking for more content to pay them the remaining balance.
“There’s no question of a headline-grabbing, public parting of the way,” a source told The Sun about the couple’s arrangement with Netflix. “Netflix was pleased to sign Harry and Meghan and is looking for some great ideas going forward. But the remainder of the deal relies on them producing those good ideas. The deal’s continually under review, which is normal for ones of this magnitude.”
