Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are on their way to become major Hollywood producers.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signed a multiyear production deal with Netflix. The exclusive content will include documentaries, docu-series, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming.

“Our focus will be on creating content that informs but also gives hope,” the couple told the New York Times. “As new parents, making inspirational family programming is also important to us.” They added that Netflix’s “unprecedented reach will help us share impactful content that unlocks action.”
