Duke and Duchess of Sussex behind new polo-themed Netflix drama

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to produce a new drama series for Netflix, delving into the world of polo.

The untitled project, based in Wellington, Florida, will follow two rival teams and the families behind them.

This scripted series marks their latest venture under the couple's first-look deal with the streaming giant, which grants Netflix priority on projects from their Archewell Productions.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes indicated that further production announcements with Netflix and other streaming platforms are anticipated shortly.

According to US outlet Deadline, Francisca X Hu, known for her work on the TV series Dynasty, will write the series and serve as an executive producer alongside the Duke and Duchess.

Harry and Meghan previously executive produced the 2024 docuseries Polo which captured a behind the scenes look into professional polo players’ lives on and off the field.

It comes after figures showed earlier this year that the duchess’s With Love, Meghan second season failed to crack the top 1,000 most-watched programmes on the platform.

Her lifestyle company As Ever, which sells jams, herbal teas and chocolates, was meanwhile revealed to have ended its partnership with Netflix this month, with a spokesperson saying the brand was “now ready to stand on its own”.

Meghan and Harry signed a contract thought to be worth more than 100 million US dollars (£74 million) with the streaming firm in 2020.

They also signed a first-look deal for film and television projects, meaning that Netflix would have the first option on Harry and Meghan’s projects with their Archewell production company.

The first series of With Love, Meghan launched on Netflix in March 2025 and coincided with the unveiling the brand As ever – with her first products, including her raspberry jam, repeatedly promoted throughout the show.

Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Meghan said the duchess’s brand was “ready to stand on its own” after the deal came to an end.

As Ever products are said to be inspired by Meghan’s “long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining, and hostessing with ease”.
