Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have signed a new “multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects” with Netflix, the couple has announced.
The first-look deal, which means Netflix will have the first option on Harry and Meghan’s projects, was described by the Sussexes as “extending their creative partnership”.
But PR and crisis expert Mark Borkowski described it as a “downgrade” and suggested Netflix was “pivoting away” from Harry and Meghan.
Borkowski said the deal was a long way from the jackpot figure of their original contract.
“I think Netflix has done a very neat job of pivoting away from two very expensive people who didn’t deliver, and they’ve taken that deal off the table, and they’ve given them a modest one,” he said.
