My guess is it will turn into a billions/succession/hunting wives esque show for them. Even if there is not an interest in polo in the US, indulgent dramas about rich people tend to find an audience. I am glad something might finally work out for them.

The shows you mention were spicy, though. I can't see the Sussexes exploring those kinds of
themes. I think they still want to project a more dignified image even if they have separated from the royal family (although one could fairly say anybody is dignified compared to some of the other members of that family...)

OP here and I agree, I actually fell asleep during the lifestyle show, although I thought it was harmless and just someone else's cup of tea

I mainly wanted to counter the narrative some post here, that Harry and Meghan are broke failures because Netflix hates them, or something something. This polo drama with Netflix looks fun.

Yeah, sounds promising. Netflix only cut ties with the lifestyle show and the As Ever collaboration, that's all.

And that was the plan all along. They were really only helping her launch the brand with the show due to the partnership between them for Netflix content.

Always much ado about nothing with Harry & Meghan. They've made some PR missteps but they are certainly not the monsters people make them out to be.

Ted Sarandos unfollowing As Ever and Meghan definitely was not nothing. He follows plenty of Netflix talent, could simply have left the "follows" in place.

Something doesn’t add up here. I think it’s fake news. Probably to save face.

Meaning “Sussex” is trying to save face. Not Sarandos. Why are only sus news outlets reporting it?

Polo. Quite the draw.

Why are you spreading lies? Sarandos never followed them in the first place, because the account you're referencing wasn't for that. His wife follows Meghan, though. And the Sarandoses still socialize with the Sussexes.

The only relevant thing here is that Netflix has several projects in production with Meghan and Harry--despite what the hater outlets were saying just a few days ago. Calling this news "fake" just makes you look dumb. Obviously, Sarandos doesn't actually hate Harry or Meghan. And it's a fool's errand to speculate about whether Sarandos is lukewarm, hates, or loves Meghan, based on what someone's hairdresser's cousin who parked near the Netflix parking lot told Variety. Puhleez. And this weird speculation about who Sarandos follows (and he never followed Meghan) is just whinging from sore losers.

There’s a lot of wording like “in development” and “first look”…I don’t see it becoming reality.

I just find this all very strange. I'm not necessarily a hater, but I can't figure out what value add these to have for a fictional scripted series. Are they actually going to do anything real? It sounds like Netflix has script writers and other folks who will actually do most of the work. What will Harry and Meagan do? Does Netflix simply get a bigger audience of their names are attached to the projects?

ooohhh noooo, some rando on the internet thinks none of the Sussexes' projects with Netflix--now that we've established they do have Netflix projects--will come to fruition.

Quick, use your obvious close industry insider status to warn Sarandos.

This "Celeb A unfollowed Celeb B! They must have had a falling out!" stories are usually nonsense but this one in particular makes no sense. I mean, let's assume Ted Sarandos did indeed decide he hates Megan and Harry. Does anyone believe this 61 year old male CEO decided to express that by going to his Instagram account, looking up Megan's brand account, and unfollowing it? Sorry but no, that's nonsense. Whatever the truth of their relationship is, you will not be able to sniff it out by examine Ted Sarandos's Instagram follows.

Some people are so freaking gullible.

They will do what other celeb producers do when the produce television shows. They will use their network and their celebrity to help secure financing and get talent on board. This one makes particular sense because Harry is very involved in the polo world. One of his best friends, Nacho Figueras, is a professional Argentinian polo player -- Figueras already worked with Harry on the polo documentary that his production company came out with a couple years ago. I would assume Figueras is involved in the scripted series too. Harry is a member of the Santa Barbara polo club and continues to compete in charity matches regularly. Harry also has good relationships with a lot of sports organizations because of his Invictus work.

This honestly makes more sense than Meghan selling jam. It perfectly dovetails with Harry's passions and is a great way to exploit their contacts and name.

I think the creative behind this did Dynasty reboot. So I’d imagine it would at least be a little spicy.

Their polo documentary disappointed because there wasn't enough Harry. A fictionalized polo series will have no Harry. The biggest success they have had was their series about themselves after separating from the BRF. We'll see if American Netflix viewers care about an "Upstairs Downstairs" polo team drama in Florida.

Anything about Florida I'm flipping right by. Sorry Sussexes.

I think Netflix is keeping them in a "first look" contract because they may eventually get more personal with their content, especially after the King passes and their inheritance is settled and they don't have to worry about further damaging the relationship between Charles and Harry/the grandkids.

I am not educated about the ins and outs of financing a Netflix project, but if the Sussexes really have to help raise the funding and Netflix can use its salaried staff, maybe it's not that expensive for them to shoot one season one polo project. I can't figure out how that could be true, and they seem dissimilar to other celebs because they have zero relevant experience, but I'm sure Netflix isn't trying to lose money so there's something in it for Netflix.
