Spotify dropped Harry and Markle

[Anonymous]

A representative for Spotify said the end of the company’s deal with Archewell meant “Archetypes” would not be renewed for a second season.

Oh. I thought they had a long term, multi year contract. I guess it has been several years already.

Apparently it was a “mutual split.”

These two need to spend wisely and keep a close eye on the money.

I like them just fine but I think it's becoming clear that they are pretty ordinary once you peel back the fame and title. Harry should continue his service work. He seems good at it.

Agree, I think they need to recognize that they are probably at peak public interest right now and they should make as much hay as they can with their memoirs and the Netflix deal, but it's going to dry up.

I think Megan's longterm scheme is probably some kind of production company akin to what Reese Witherspoon does, using capital from what they are doing now to invest in other projects, perhaps with a bent of promoting certain kinds of voices (Witherspoon makes an effort to make projects with women creators or based on books by and about women) that ties in with their advocacy work. Not sure if she can pull it off -- it will have to be mostly her because I don't think Harry brings much to the table there. But they can use his name recognition and personal story to built equity and bring attention.

But yes, they will need to be careful about money because the current spigot (the content deals specifically for their story) is already slowing to a trickle, and they have a lifestyle that could easily bankrupt them if they are not careful, until they can pivot to other revenue streams.

I do think they'll figure it out because we're talking about people who have the support and ear of people like Oprah and Tyler Perry. Whether you like H&M or not, they are positioned to be very successful in Hollywood if they play their cards correctly.

It was a great idea in concept but the actual episodes were so boring.

They did. However, the royal couple did not meet the productivity benchmark required to receive the full payout, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The majority of those lose more money than they make unless you're a big enough name to star in or direct your own projects and drive funding that way. It's going to have to be Meghan making things work because Harry seems clueless

They probably can be, but they need to pronto find another "cause" and "voice" that does not build on their resentment toward the BRF. Right now, despite all efforts to the contrary, their link to the BRF remains the most interesting thing about them, and that well is running dry.

Agree. The interest in them was the BRF. Harry has cut the ties and no one knew who she was before the marriage. They are boring.

+1 There's only so much whining about perceived slights that the public wants to hear about from the .0001%.

They do need to watch the spending because they're hemorrhaging money. They have to have amassed at least $40M by now (inheritance + earnings), and there's just no excuse for not being able to live off that.

Yeah, right. I think H&M were vastly overconfident about their marketability once severed from the BRF.

They're spending it as fast as they're making it. If you think they're sitting on a $40M nest egg, you're deluded. That's why all their strategic moves reek of desperation. They spend at a much faster rate than they earn and their future earning potential diminishes every day.
