Harry & Meghan Given an Ultimatum by Netflix


Earlier this month The Duke and Duchess of Sussex parted ways with Spotify, marking the end of Meghan Markle's 'Archetype' podcast [click here if you missed that].

Now insiders claim the couple have received an ultimatum from Netflix...

From The Sun
HARRY and Meghan have been told to come up with more must-watch shows for Netflix if they want to be paid £40million in outstanding fees, it is claimed.
The couple’s six-part soul-baring series was the streaming giant’s most-viewed documentary.
But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £81million contract.
And they will get the rest only if they produce content of real interest, an industry source has revealed.
The source said the US giant is happy with the viewing figures for the couple’s Harry & Meghan series.
It proves they can be box-office hits with the right format.
But if no suitable follow-ups can be agreed, the outstanding cash will not be handed over, it is claimed.
But the couple will not face a public split similar to their one with Spotify.
Their Archewell company’s £18million deal with the platform was ended by mutual agreement after Meghan, 41, produced only 13 broadcasts in two-and-a half years.
The industry source said of the Netflix arrangement: “There’s no question of a headline-grabbing, public parting of the way.

Netflix never said that -where did you get this story from-stop repeating lies-the internet is full of misinformation-do not add to it. Netflix spokesperson put out a statement saying they will be working with them and looked forward to it -media did another hit piece and you fell for it.

When will you black people realize it’s a smear campaign-as for Spotify,when the Obamas walked away they were not called grifters. Since when is a person doing business a grifter when they don’t want to renew a contract? Hit Podcast-Hit Memoir-Hit Documentary - no wonder they get mad and smear when they sign with someone else. Actors,etc do it all the time—no one owns them. Harry and Meghan are free.

They just need to hire professional producers. I never watched what did she talk about.

Megan is a workhorse and so I know it's not her slacking. Harry is cool but let's not pretend he's ever worked a day in his life. He is spoiled and royals don't really work, they wave at simpletons who pay their annual salaries. Harry isn't going to do all of that working when this is the most he's ever lifted a finger. He might be having commoner overload. I like them but it tis what it tis. He's going to learn how hard the world is when it's not handed to you.
