Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have several projects with Netflix lined up, according to the streamer's chief content officer, Bela Bajaria.

Netflix had a press event on Wednesday, called Next on Netflix, where the company previewed new shows and films, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

First looks at the upcoming seasons of Squid Game and Bridgerton were provided to attendees of the event.

The first question that the company was asked at the event was what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been busy with.

"They have a couple of unscripted things they're working on with Brandon [Riegg]," Bajaria said, according to Deadline.

She continued:

And they actually have a bunch [in] development; they have a movie in development, a [scripted] series that they're working on. So, all very early development, with a movie, a TV show and a couple of unscripted shows.

"The movie's great," she added.

Bajaria didn't go into further detail about the projects.

One of the couple's projects includes a prequel show to Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, the Wall Street Journal reported in 2023. They are also adapting Carley Fortune's novel Meet Me at the Lake.

It was reported in 2023 that they had bought the film rights for the book, according to Town and Country.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a deal with the streaming service in 2020. The couple have a production company named Archewell Productions that has a creative partnership with the streamer.

"Archewell Productions utilises the power of storytelling to embrace our shared humanity and duty to truth through a compassionate lens," according to their website.

They produce "programming that informs, elevates, and inspires", the website said.

The couple previously appeared in the series Harry & Meghan, a documentary focusing on their lives and relationship. They also appeared in the Netflix programmes Live to Lead and Heart of Invictus (which Prince Harry also produced).
