Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle officially launched their new Hollywood careers yesterday, signing a deal with Netflix to produce "impactful" films and series for the streaming giant. The couple—who quit the British royal family and moved to California this year—already has multiple projects in development, although former Suits star Markle has no plans to return to acting.
"Through our work with diverse communities and their environments, to shining a light on people and causes around the world, our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said in a statement to AFP.
"As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us, as is powerful storytelling through a truthful and relatable lens."
A nature documentary series and an animated series focused on inspiring women are among the first projects, which the couple said aim to "share impactful content that unlocks action."
No financial terms were disclosed, but the deal is reported to be multi-year and exclusive to Netflix.
